Some Helpful Hints For Anger Free Management Techniques (2)

Breathing

Sometimes when anger strikes it’s hard to realize that the simplest motions can help us calm down. One of the most effective methods of relaxation is controlled breathing. When you start to feel your anger bubbling up and taking control of your mind, remove yourself from the situation. Find a quiet place where you can be completely alone, and start by taking a few deep breaths in and out.

Once you’ve started focusing on your breathing, try one of these effective anger free management breathing techniques. Breathe in as deep as you can for three to four seconds, and then exhale for 8 seconds, pushing the air out of your lungs as hard as you can. Breath in deeply again, and repeat until you feel calm. Or, try breathing in deeply for 10 seconds, and exhale normally for 10 seconds, but as you exhale say the word “calm,” stretching the vocalization of the word out for all 10 seconds. Repeat until your anger has subsided.
