Written by Guest Author

Firstly, anger isn’t a negative feeling; in fact, it allows you to be honest with your feelings. More likely, it is a voice to your real emotions. So, there’s nothing wrong if you get mad or angry soon.

Some of the day-to-day situations could be when someone cuts you off in traffic, when someone fails to understand you, or when planned things don’t become reality. This rage can turn into aggressiveness, which is unhealthy for you and the people around you.

However, controlling your rage before it turns into aggressiveness is vital. You can walk through these 16 innovative and effective ways to manage your bad temper.

1. Begin counting numbers

It may sound funny while reading but trust me, it works 1000%. Whenever you feel angry, begin a countdown to 10. If the intensity is high, then we would suggest starting from 100. This method will bring down your heart rate, defusing your anger.

 

2. Stop, think, and then speak

By the time, you count, think what’s right for the moment. Impulsively, you can split out words, which you’ll regret later. So, before you say something very harsh, stop, think for a second to collect your thoughts, and then speak about it.

 

3. Or take a deep breath

Well, science says, it is the best and easy exercise to make yourself calm down. As you get angry, your breathing becomes shallower. Hence, start taking a deep breath; inhale, and then exhale. Repeat it 10 times, and see the magic.

 

4. Go for some physical activity

Anyone that you like! Bicycle ride, a small walk, skating, etc., can lessen your stress level, which has your anger mode on/off button. It is said that if you turn your anger into satisfaction or enjoyment, you’d be able to save your relationships. So, do a physical activity that you enjoy the most

5. Repeat the phrase

Everyone has some or the other phrases that calm them down. For instance, when I get angry, I tell to myself, ‘All is well, all is well’; I know it’s the renowned dialogue of one of the hit Bollywood movies ‘3 Idiots’. However, the conclusion is, it really helps me. There are other phrases too like, ‘Relax, calm down, take it easy, chill’, and many more.

 

6.  Listen to music

My other favourite way to calm myself down! Music helps people to put their anger emotions to the sea. So, whenever your rage is high, put in earbuds, crank up to your favourite music, and bring down your anger. Don’t forget to hum and sing the song loudly.

 

7. Take a timeout from talking

The best thing you can do to save people’s emotions from getting hurt from your jarring words. As the proverb goes, silence is the best medicine; it waves goodbye to your anger. Otherwise, once the words from your mouth fly to someone else’s ears, they might get hurt. So, stop talking for a while to manage your anger. Then you can split out your feelings in a calm manner.

9. Practice humanism

No matter you think you’ve a bad soul or a good one, always remember that you’ve humanism. When in anger, talk to strangers, listen to their stories, and try helping them out. It helps you to observe life from another perspective and gain a positive experience. In addition to this, it will make you calm down.
