Anger diffusion

1. You will be dead someday

Is it really worth feeling upset over this?

2. Anger is more about your own weaknesses

If someone makes you mad, YOU were complicit in allowing yourself to feel that feeling.

3. Anger passes

Allow yourself to feel the anger for a moment. Don't dwell. You have bigger things to accomplish today.

4. Exercise

Work out, use that adrenaline in a positive way.

5. Meditate

Sit with the feeling. Determine underlying thoughts. Be in the moment. Is it really this bad?

6. Dwelling in anger isn't healthy

Angry people often have shorter lives.

7. The root cause of anger is fear.

The underlying feeling of anger is fear. What are you afraid of?

8. Anger is protection

Do you really need protection right now? How did you arrive to the point of needing to protect yourself?

9. Step away (if feasible)

Being in the vicinity of a trigger can feed the anger. Go for a walk. Read a positive quote. Read the Daily Stoic. Reset yourself.

10. Angry actions can lead to regret

Feeling the anger and allowing yourself to indulge it will rarely lead to positive outcomes. Don't add to the anger by doing something you can't take back.
