Anger is one of the human emotions that can lead to many social, psychological, and health-related damages. To avoid these harms, it is essential to learn how to control it. The Indian Express published some tips from a motivational video on how a person can manage their anger, as follows:
**Think Before You Speak**
Experts recommend thinking before speaking, especially when feeling angry, as this can prevent you from saying hurtful words that may damage the feelings of those close to you or the people you are addressing.
**Stay Silent**
The video suggests that it may be better to remain silent when you are angry and frustrated. Once you calm down, you can address the reason behind your anger and make the right decisions about it, as you won't be able to handle things appropriately while you are angry.
**Repeat Phrases That Help You Calm Down**
It is advised to repeat phrases like "Take it easy" or "Everything will be fine" to yourself when you feel angry. These phrases may help you let go of feelings of anger more quickly.
**Distract Yourself with Other Activities**
You can distract yourself from what makes you angry by thinking about or doing other things, such as watching television, calling a friend, or going for a walk outdoors. All these activities will help you forget your anger, restore balance to your emotions, and allow you to think about the problem calmly and wisely.
**Distance Yourself from Those Who Anger You**
Try to distance yourself from the person who has angered you and spend some time alone to restore balance to your feelings and rid yourself of anger.
