5 ways to manage your anger before it manages you

Deep breathing

Take slow, deep breaths from your nose and exhale through your mouth. This activates your relaxation response,  and eases tension.

Physical activity

Exercise or walk to release pent-up energy. This can help calm your mind and body by burning off excess adrenaline and releasing endorphins.

Visualisation

Imagine yourself in a relaxing scene, focusing on details. This can help you find calm amidst anger by shifting your focus away from frustration.

Journaling

Write down your feelings and how you want to respond. Processing emotions can help you reassess the situation objectively and gain perspective.

Creative outlet

Channel your anger into creative activities like painting, gardening, or writing poetry. Emotions can be powerful muses for creative expression.
