 Step 1: Control your breathing.<br>
-When something pisses you off, instead of screaming or * on the horn, take deep breaths. Spend two to three minutes breathing deeply, into your nose and out to your mouth. Imagine inhaling calm blue air and exhaling that red toxic air. <br>

 Step 2: Relax your muscles. <br>
-Unclench fists, make a conscious effort to loosen those shoulders in slump a little. Re-posture is awesome, but for now let those muscles unwind. I promise it'll help. <br>

 Step 4: Seeking context. <br>
-It's important to put your angry in the context by thinking rationally instead of emotionally. Think about it. Are you gonna be angry tomorrow? Yeah, probably. What about a week from now? Hmm, maybe. A month? Probably not. A year? I don’t think you'll remember, but by examining your angry this way you can displace yourself from it and you'll be able to process your anger without letting it taking over your life. <br>

We can't promise you won't get angry ever again but hopefully with this you found a way to deal with it a little bit better.
