| Cooling
off and dealing with your anger |
| Here
are some ways cool off or chill out when you feel you
are too angry to control what you say or do: |
 |
 |
Take
a walk |
|
|
Write
about your anger |
|
|
Talk
to a friend |
|
|
Count
to 10 |
|
|
Create
some art |
|
|
Meditate |
|
|
Play
golf |
|
|
Listen
to music (music is tricky because music that "pumps"
|
| |
you
up or has violence-promoting words, can work against |
| |
your
cooling down efforts) |
|
|
Write
your own music, or poetry |
|
|
Run
or jog |
|
|
Exercise
(exercise is tricky too, you have to know yourself |
| |
really well. If you get "pumped up" and feel
"big and bad" after |
| |
exercises
like kickboxing or punching a bag, these kinds of |
| |
exercise
can work against you.) |
|
|
Go
somewhere private where no one can hear you and yell out
|
| |
loud |
|
