Breathe in slowly through your nose, then breathe out through your mouth. Do this 3–5 times. It helps your body calm down. 2. Count to ten When you are angry, it’s easy to say or do things that hurt others. Before reacting, take a moment to count slowly to ten in your head, this gives you time to think about what you want to say and time to calm down and helps you avoid saying something you might regret later. 3. Walk away If you are very angry, it’s okay to walk away for a few minutes. Go to another room or take a short walk outside. The environment helps you to control your anger, and come back when you feel calmer. 4. Talk about your feelings Talk to someone you trust about why you are angry. Try to use calm words. Say “I feel upset because…” instead of yelling or blaming others. Speak calmly so the other person can understand and hear you better, without feeling attacked. 5. Do something active Exercise is a great way to release built-up tension. When you're feeling angry, try going for a walk, jog, or doing some physical activity. This helps you calm down and think more clearly, reducing the chances of acting out in anger. 6. Think positive thoughts Try to think about good things. Remind yourself that you can solve the problem. Tell yourself, “I can stay calm,” or “This will pass.” Stop thinking about to those upset you, let your thoughts go widely in your future time like, " tomorrow, I will...." 7. Get help if you need it Sometimes anger is too big to manage alone. If you notice that your anger is causing problems, it might be time to get professional help. Speaking with a counselor or therapist can help you manage your anger better. By consistently practicing these strategies, you can regain control over your emotions and respond more thoughtfully in challenging situations.
