What do you do to relax when you get angry?

I find myself getting angry quickly quite a bit and I've tried counting but sometimes it doesn't help. So what do you do to calm down?

    When i was in group therapy they showed me this technique i guess yu could call it that . Basically what you do is make a fist with each of your hands and squeeze as hard as you can then slowly release and open your hands all the way really slow. It works trust me i do it all the time and it helps a lot

    I remove myself from the situation when I am trying to be on my best behavior. If it's with a parent and they ask me to do something that they could easily do I suck it up and do it, I pick and choose my fights by asking myself; What do I get if I pick this fight? What do I get if I let it go. Most of the time I would get nothing by arguing just a bigger fight and if I let it go then I stop a fight and very potential migraine.

    Source(s): I lose my temper very easily almost everyday so I try my best to let the insignificant things go.

    Imagine how the person who MADE me angry looks naked. That usually makes me laugh which, in turn, helps me relax.
