How do keep yourself calm when you are really mad?

This question is hard to answer but we just have to breathe and think something else that is not part of it and relax ourselves.

Take a deep breathe and attempt to relax or count backwards until I start to feel calm. The best thing to do when you are mad at another person especially if you feel you will react badly is to excuse yourself until you are able to proceed.

Different coping strategies work for different people. For some, grasping hold of a soft object and squeezing tightly helps reduce stress and calm anger. If that's not realistic, then you can always just remove yourself from the situation that's making you mad-- this is especially useful if you're afraid of what your emotions might make you do. You can also look into professional counseling, where you can work through what's causing you so much anger in life, and find positive ways to work through your problems rather than reacting with anger.

it get really annoying,frustrating and eventually pure anger when you do something and its not appreciated the way you would want, so i am cleaning the house and if i turn i find mud from my relatives, i always enjoy doing the cleaning in weekends, but this was getting annoying so i chose to tell them to try and wait out for the house to dry up, they never listened, i got really angry that i shouted to my grannies, thats not good obviously,but it worked.. so the next time they did the same thing, i just did what i could best, i locked the house and put loud music so that no one could say i ignored their knocks neither did i hear them, after the house was dry i opened the house.. so what am saying is, whatever makes you angry you can face it or lock it out and dont let it get to you... if it gets to you start visualizing great moments instead... i do flash moments to the most funny clips i have ever watched, and laugh instead of getting angry

Meditation and incense have worked wonders for me. Finding the perfect balance of myself and light makes things a bit more calming and less hectic. Sometimes, I turn on relaxing music, light the incense and lay down on my yoga mat. Just breathing.

It's a very old trick. start counting from 100 to 1. If that doesn't help, then sit and fold you legs, and breath deeply and slowly for five minutes. This one really helps. Make sure that you're in quiet environment.

There isn't one set way to calm yourself but I find that counting to three and then trying to separate myself from the thing that's making me angry really helps. Also, if you're standing, sit down. If you're sitting, lay down. Sometimes just changing positions can help defuse some anger.

Breathe. Just breathe. In for 3 seconds, hold for 5 and out again for 3 seconds. Breathe. Imagine the breath spiraling out from your mouth and turning around and coming back through your nose. Breathe.

When I get out of control mad, I tend to try and focus on something in the distance. Something just out of my hearing range, it allows me to focus so much of my energy into figuring out whats out there that I begin to focus less on what is making me angry! I also need to distance myself from the situation or person who is making me feel angry. I usually excuse myself, go outside and listen to the traffic. Sometimes, I also like to sing really loudly to really expressive, passionate songs! Haha!

There are ways to calm yourself down when you are feeling angry. Breathing is a good technique to try, deep abdominal slow breaths can counteract the rising anger. Slowly counting to ten while doing this. You can remove yourself from the situation for however long you need and do something to help you release your anger, go for a walk, run to the gym, play some music etc.
