Haha! Seriously i've had this very same problem.You know what,i'm a typical Hinduism follower,and i started reciting the most favourite prayer of mine when i was angry with my mom,or sister or anyone for that sake.That prayer was peaceful and i could vanish all of my anger when i recited those lines and those are my favourite lines till now.Okay so that was my method,a SILLY one!
First,anger isn't unhealthy,it is healthy as long as it is controlled.when it turns out to be destructive,it overtakes us.It's jus an emotional state ranging from mild shouts to intense rage and fury.Okay now to control it..
As for the mediclaim methods,i know some of them of which the first response is also one,ie,taking something to eat,to offer your stomach something.Simple techniques like deep breathing and relaxing imagery could also help you out with this.
Breathing deeply from your diaphrragm,not from your chest(you know that doesn't just relax you out!)and while breathing deeply,utter words such as Relax,or take it easy!
Imagine a peaceful environment such as a scenery around you when you do this breathing exercise!you could also do yoga.
You can also do these:
Have a walk.look at the sky, for it is the most peaceful imagery you can visually see.Try watching cartoons or funny shows.
Or you could just jot down your thought into a paper and crush it out,imaining you're slapping the person you wanted to slap.
think of your life,and avoid this situation blaming them to yourself!
That's a good topic and i loved browsing for some ideas.Thank you! And happy day!

When I was angry I tried to inhale and exhale for 2 minutes then I go to my kitchen and eat 1 banana fruit and drink some 2 glasses of water.This could help me calm down
from my anxieties and anger.You can also do this it is very healthy.Try it!!!

Hello friend,
You are right. Eating is a best process to control your anger. I also eat chocolate in that situation.
Have a nice day.

eating is a good idea and it is healthy too,but carrying fruits and chocolate always with you is not a good idea right.is it possible to do so?

I have always took the tip of counting until 10 and breathing very deeply when you are angry. But it is also bad for the health to always keep the anger to yourself, sometimes it is good to let it out, just shout but not hurt any people or destroy things.

Anger is a natural emotion that we all have but it's how we express it that's important. All lot of people don't know how to express it in a way that doesn't hurt others. They say that if you keep your anger pent up inside you may explode into violence one day, so that is not good emotionally to keep anger inside. Sometimes, we need to let it go just yell and scream but not directly at someone because that would hurt them. It's a hard thing to do because we don't always think before we act.

I guess its normal to get angry sometimes to a certain situation especially when there is a problem, Well to control my anger I just drink a glass of water and this would help me alot to calm my nerves.

i am working on this anger issue now and im learning it has played a big part in my bi polar and marriage and even friendsips and family.. i think i have held in alot of anger over the years and then one day i let it all out and it felt good and now iam learning that i have to go to a diffent place and not get angry as it is bad for me and my relationships.. so im trying to get along with everyone and not argue even if i think there wrong. imlearning to let things go little or big and not make a big deal and the best thing is walk away from bad situatiins when i feel anger coming on.. instead of getting mad and causing trouble and im trying to be sweet and nice to everyone and the big big big key is my mouth and being quite and not give my opinion all the time.. just be the me who everyone once loved even strangers .. and be a better child of God.. so put God first in my life and stay in prayer but enjoy the goood days as well...

Anger is an emotion that that can bring harm to to other people. In order not to harm others as well as ourselves, we should learn to control it. Here are some tips that you can try to control your anger. First, you must take a timeout. Try to take a pause and count 1-10. This can help you to defuse your temper and help you to think clearly. once, your calm, you can now express your anger but remember not to hurt others.before you act or speak, think first.Then, get some exercise. try to take a walk. Finally, think of possible solutions to the issue rather than focusing on the reason why you get mad.Hope this tips can help.

I usually think of something stupid to ease my anger. Or just shut my mind off completely when someone is trying to make me angry
