Learning to recognize the physical and emotional signs of anger early on can give you a chance to take steps to manage it before it escalates.
When you notice the signs of anger, give yourself a time-out. Stepping away from the situation can prevent the anger from escalating.
Deep, slow breathing can help reduce the intensity of your anger. Focus on taking slow, deep breaths from your diaphragm, allowing your mind and body to relax.
Physical activity can provide an outlet for tension and stress. Regular exercise can improve your mood and help you stay calm.
When expressing your feelings or addressing a situation that makes you angry, use "I-statements" to communicate how you feel without blaming or criticizing others.
Instead of focusing on what made you angry, work on resolving the issue at hand.
Learn and practice relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga, or progressive muscle relaxation.
