Producer: Priyanka Das Editor: Nisha Dubey

Breathing

Practice breathing exercises as they can help you control your anger. To calm your mind, simply breathe in deeply from your nose and exhale from your mouth. Do this regularly, especially when you feel anger and resentment.

Music

Listen to calming music or songs as they can affect the mind and help you relax. If you feel upset, irritated or angry, make sure you play some songs to take your mind off the situation and instead, unwind.

Exercise

One of the best ways to let out your anger, aggression or built-up frustration is by working out. You can go out for a walk, jog or run. You can hit the gym and sweat it out. You can also try out swimming or weight training.

 Sleep

Sometimes, the reason for your anger or irritation can be a lack of proper sleep. Just get a good night’s sleep and you will be relaxed and find yourself capable of tackling difficult situations.

Hydration

 While it may not seem like much, sipping a glass of water can help you relax. It cools your nerves down, controls blood pressure and regulates breathing as well. It also allows you to pause for a second and diverts your mind.
