Moving calms you down
It is a well-known fact that if you feel upset or angry doing slow movements can help a great deal. Therefore, try calming down by taking walks or just standing up from your chair in order to go to the other corner of the room- you might be well impressed by the outcome.

How to Handle Other People's Anger Like a Pro
Anger and Aggression
- Anger: An emotion felt when we believe we have been wronged.
- Aggression: is an act of expression of the anger, by our words our actions. Aggressio...
Validation and Boundaries
- We can try and validate the anger felt by an individual by making them know that their anger is maybe justified while putting firm but respectful boundaries on their aggression.
- We then need to be clear about what type of aggression we are willing to tolerate, setting boundaries on the unacceptable.
- We may have to put our foot down and be ready to leave the conversation or escalate the issue, without falling into the trap of guilt and emotion.
- If possible, we need to restart the conversation when things have cooled down, and diffuse the issue in a calm way.
Avoiding Speculative Self-Talk
Unchecked self-talk can easily turn into self-delusion. The stories we create almost always make you look like the good guy and cannot be termed as objective.
- The way to get out of this speculative self-delusion is to avoid any speculation about other people's anger, at least initially.
- Make sure to note down the facts of the situation. This can make the story less according to your gut instinct, and more towards the objective reality.

Interacting Factors of Anger
Anger comes from three interacting factors:
- A provocation or trigger. It's what happened right before you got angry (being cut off in traffic, or insulted by someone, for example)
- The person's interpretation of the provocation. When you blow things out of proportion, overgeneralise, or label people in inflammatory ways, you become angrier than you otherwise would
- Their mood at the time, such as tired, stressed, hungry, already angry.
Understand Your Anger
- Is your anger justified? Consider if you've really been wronged or treated unfairly, and what the real consequences of that are.
- What does your anger tell you about the situation? When you think your anger is justified, what is your anger communicating to you about the circumstances? Your anger may come from the stress of the coming day.
- What does your anger tell you about yourself? Anger can tell you a lot about your values and needs. It can give you a better understanding of what to do next.

Knowing what triggers your anger
Emotions are made up of 3 components:
