1 # Take A Breather

Your breathing becomes shallower and speeds up as you grow angry. Reverse that trend (and your anger) by taking slow, deep breaths from your nose and exhaling out of your mouth for several moments.

2 # Count Down

Count down (or up) to 10. If you're really mad, start at 100. In the time it takes you to count, your heart rate will slow, and your anger will likely subside.

3 # Relax Your Muscles

Progressive Muscle Relaxion calls on you to tense and slowly relax various muscle groups in your body, one at a time. As you tense and release, take slow and deliberate breaths.

4 # Stretch

Neck rolls and shoulder rolls are good examples of nonstrenuous yoga-like movements that can help you to control your body and harness your emotions. No fancy equipment are required.

5 # Play Some Tunes

Let Music carry you away from your feelings. Put in earbuds or slip out to your car. Crank up your favorite music and hum, bop, or sashay your anger away.

6 # Stop Talking

When you're steamed, you may be tempted to let the angry words fly, but you're more likely to do harm than good. Pretend your lips are glued shut, just like you did as a kid. This moment without speaking will give you time to collect your thoughts.

7 # Repeat A Mantra

Find a word or phrase that helps you calm down and refocus. Repeat that word again and again to yourself when you're upset. " Relax, " " Take it easy, and " You'll be OK " are all good examples.

8 # Go Walk Around

Doing Exercise can help your nerves and also can help to reduce your anger. Go For A Walk, ride your bike, or hit a few golf balls. Anything that gets your limbs pumping is good for your mind and your body.

9 # Take Action

Harness your angry energy. Sign a petition. Write a note to an official. Do something good for someone else. Pour your energy and emotions into something that's healthy and productive.

10 # Write In Your Journal

What you can't say, perhaps you can write. Jot down what you're feeling and how you want to respond. Processing it through the written word can help you calm down and reassess the events leading up to your feelings.

11 # Take A Timeout

Give yourself a break. Sit away from others. In this quiet time, you can process events and return your emotions to neutral. You may even find this time away from others is so helpful you want to schedule it into your daily routine.

12 # Mentally Escape

Slip into a quite room, close your eyes, and practice visualizing yourself in a relaxing scene. Focus on details in the imaginary scene : What color is the water ? How tall are the mountains ? What do the chirping birds sound like ? This practice can help you find calm amidst anger.

13 # Find A Creative Channel

Turn your anger into a tangible production. Consider painting, gardening, or writing poetry when you're upset. Emotions are powerful muses for creative individuals. Use yours to reduce anger.

14 # Express Your Anger

It's OK to say how you feel, as long as you handle it in the right way. Ask a trusted friend to help you be accountable to a calm response. Outbursts solve no problems, but mature dialogue can help reduce your stress and ease your anger. It may also prevent future problems.

15 # Practice Empathy

Try to walk in the other person's shoes and see the situation from their perspective. When you tell the story or relive the events as they saw it, you may gain a new understanding and become less angry.

16 # Imaging Forgiving Them

Finding the courage to forgive someone who has wronged you takes a lot of emotional skill. If you can't go that far, you can at least pretend that you're forgiving them, and you'll feel your anger slip away.

17 # Write A Letter

Write a letter or email to the person that made you angry. Then, delete it. Often, expressing your emotions is some form is all you want, even if it's in something that will never be seen.

18 # Set A Timer

The first thing that comes to mind when you're angry likely isn't the thing you should say. Give yourself a set time before you respond. This time will help you be calmer and more concise.

19 # Practice Gratitude

Take a moment to focus on what's right when everything feels wrong. Realizing how many good things you have in your life can help you neutralize anger and turn around the situation.

20 # Laugh

Nothing upends a bad mood like a good one. Diffuse your anger by looking for ways to laugh, whether that's playing with your kids, watching stand-up, or scrolling memes.

21 # Talk To A Friend

Don't stew in the events that made you angry. Help yourself process what happened by talking with a trusted, supportive friend who can possibly provide a new perspective.

22 # Change Your Routine

If your slow commute to work makes you angry before you've even had coffee, find a new route. Consider options that may take longer but leave you less upset in the end.

23 # Picture A Stop Sign

The universal symbol to stop can help you calm down when you're angry. It's a quick way to help you visualize the need to halt yourself, your actions, and walk away from the moment.

24 # Rehearse Your Response

Prevent an outburst by rehearsing what you're going to say or how you're going to approach the problem in the future. This rehearsal period gives you time to role-play several possible solutions, too.

25 # Find The Most Immediate Solution

You might be angry that your child has once again left their room a mess before going to visit a friend. Shut the door. You can temporarily end your anger by putting it out of your view. Look for similar resolution in any situations.
