2. No. 1: Take a timeout
Counting to 10 isn't just for kids. Before
reacting to a tense situation, take a few
moments to breathe deeply and count to 10.
Slowing down can help defuse your temper.
If necessary, take a break from the person
or situation until your frustration subsides a
bit

3. No. 2: Once you're calm, express your anger
As soon as you're thinking clearly, express your
frustration in an assertive but nonconfrontational
way. State your concerns and needs clearly and
directly, without hurting others or trying to control
them

4. Identify Possible
Solutions
No. 3: Get some exercise
Physical activity can provide an
outlet for your emotions,
especially if you're about to erupt.
If you feel your anger escalating,
go for a brisk walk or run, or
spend some time doing other
favorite physical activities.
Physical activity stimulates
various brain chemicals that can
leave you feeling happier and
more relaxed than you were
before you worked out.
No. 4: Think before you
speak
In the heat of the moment,
it's easy to say something
you'll later regret. Take a
few moments to collect
your thoughts before
saying anything — and
allow others involved in the
situation to do the same
No. 5: Identify possible solutions
Instead of focusing on what made you
mad, work on resolving the issue at
hand. Does your child's messy room
drive you crazy? Close the door. Is
your partner late for dinner every
night? Schedule meals later in the
evening — or agree to eat on your
own a few times a week. Remind
yourself that anger won't fix anything,
and might only make it worse

beautiful things in the
world cannot be seen or

be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller

6. Even if I knew that
tomorrow the world
would go to pieces, I
would still plant my
apple tree
I have decided to
stick with love. Hate
is too great a burden
to bear.
Martin Luther King

8. Start where you are.
Use what you have.
Do what you can.
We can change our
lives. We can
do, have, and be
exactly what we
wish.
Men must live and
create. Live to the
point of tears.
Arthur Ashe Tony Robbins Albert Camus
