8. Be Kind To Yourself
Don’t get frustrated if you’re having a hard time trying to calm down. If you’ve always had a short fuse, try to be patient while learning how to let go of your anger. “Sometimes if people understand that it’s OK to feel angry as long as they don’t act in a way that’s self destructive, it can be very helpful. They can also ask themselves what they need to do to work though their anger, so they can feel as good as possible, under the circumstances,” says Ludwig.
9. Take Deep Breaths
“As soon as you feel a swell of anger rise inside you, take a breath. Keep breathing deeply and slowly until the anger dissipates — which it will, since research shows the shelf life of an emotion is only 90 seconds,” says holistic wellness coach Pax Tandon in an interview with Bustle over email. Close your eyes and take three deep breaths to relax. Think about things that make you happy and try to visualize the big picture.
