BREATHE SLOWLY
Try to breathe out for longer than you breathe in, and focus on each breathe as you take it.
RELAX YOUR BODY.
If you can feel your body getting tense, try focusing on each part of your body in turn, tensing and then relaxing your muscles.
LEAVE THE SITUATION.
Just taking a short walk can help you think about the situation, decide how you want to react and feel more in control.
CHANNEL YOUR ENERGY SAFELY.
Relieve some of your feelings in a way that doesn,t hurt yourself or others. You could try tearing up a news paper, or hitting a pillow, or smashing ice cubes in a sink.
DISTRACT YOURSELF.
Anything that completely changes your situation, thoughts or patterns can help stop your anger escalating. You could try putting on upbeat music and dancing along. Doing some colouring or take a cold shower.
GET MINDFUL.
Mindfulness techniques can help you become aware of when you,re getting angry and help you calm down.
