You could try to put that energy into more productive things. For me when I get angry I take a little time to myself, and I let myself calm down. Sometimes I'll listen to some music and then I take that little rush of energy and write what I'm feeling or draw a little. Just put it into something that interests you. Talking it out after you calm down a little bit always seems to help too so don't be afraid to do that.

Punch a pillow. Work out. Go running. Anger is not the answers to anything, you should try to love more than hate.

Avoiding taking your anger out on others can sure be tricky, but not impossible. You should try to do some breathing exercises when you get frustrated with people or are angry in general. Try this one: Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Repeat this as many times as you need to until you calm down. Hope I helped. :)

Take a step back and look at the situation from the other persons perspective, once you analyize the situation from there, it gives you the time to calm down a bit, and think rationally about the situation. The only way you can really avoid doing this, is being able to see other people doing it, and understanding that the other person is taking out their anger on someone that didn't do anything wrong.

First thing first is to take a deep breath and try to calm yourself. Figure out what's making you angry at the moment. Then try to see if you can find something else to divert your thoughts and such and try to avoid whatever made you angry.

It is understandable that it is easy to take your anger out on others. Good ways to avoid this is to try to channel your anger out through different methods. Exercise is a proven method that works with relieving anger. Yoga is a great way to relieve stress, and in turn relieve anger. Try to avoid people when you feel angry, and try the old trick of counting slowly backwards from 10 to 1, taking deep breaths after each number.

Take a deep breath and stop to think if your anger is going to help the person you are angry at. Realise the problem and why it has happened.

When you feel angry just go to a quiet space, calm yourself down, think about your anger, see if its worth responding back in a rude way. Once your calm , come back to the person.

Surprisingly going for walks in nature every day calms the mind for the rest of the day. Simple breathing meditation. Working on the source of the original problem. Good luck & much love :)

I always think before I speak, I think about what I am mad about and Ask myself if it's someone elses fault or could this be handled calmly instead.
