Counting down - simple but effective
Try counting down to 10 to 1 when angry. This method helps you temporarily change your thinking direction, giving your mind time to " cool down". If you are not still calm, continue counting until 20, 30 or as much as possible, as long as you feel more comfortable.
Take a deep breath - an immediate solution
When angry, you often breathe quickly and quickly. Try taking a deep breath, hold for a few seconds and then exhale slowly. Repeat 3-5 times. This will help calm the nervous system and bring you back into control.
Walking - letting anger flow with each step
When you are too angry, don't sit still. Stand up and walk - indoors, outdoors or around the office. Gently moving will help the body relieve stress, the mind will gradually calm down and think more clearly.
Repeat a simple sentence to reassure yourself
Choose a short word or sentence, such as "calm down", "everything will be fine" or "I can control it". Repeating it in your head many times will help you calm down and keep your mind from getting caught up in anger.
Temporarily stopping chatting - silence is gold
Sometimes, the best thing you can do is not say anything. In times of anger, you can easily say harsh words. Be quiet for a while, until you feel ready to talk more calmly and reasonably.
Visualize going to a place that makes you feel comfortable
When angry, close your eyes and visualize yourself in a peaceful place, whether it's a beach, a cool green forest, or your favorite corner of the room. Let your mind gradually drift back there for a few minutes and you will feel your heart calm down.
Listening to music - a great mental medicine
A song you love can change your mood. Open up gentle, positive melodies or music to help you relax. Music has the ability to calm nerves and improve emotions almost immediately.
