Anger is an emotion that is characterized by antagonism or a strong feeling of being upset or being annoyed because of something wrong or bad.
Anger can be used as a way to express negative feelings or help in focusing and finding solutions. However, excessive anger can be problematic not only physically but psychologically too.
While some of you can manage anger, others who are “hotheaded” experience anger at a higher intensity than average. It could be due to numerous factors such as — low tolerance toward frustration, genetic or sociocultural.
So here are 3 ways to help you cool your head when angry:
• Relaxation : simple breathing from your diaphragm. Take a deep breath in – hold – release lungs 🫁, you can pair it with visualization of a calming picture. 🖼️ Here is one for you.
• Restructure your Thoughts : when we are feeling something too intense, logic goes out of the window. But if we think logically it sometimes defeats anger. Try reminding yourself that it could be a rough spot here and shift your perspective. 💭
• Use Humour : as a child you would sometimes burst in laughter when angry. Rage diffuses in a number of ways and one among is silly humor. You can of course find a way to diffuse your own anger. 😸🤭🐶
Now that you know how to do it here is a Pro Tip: Give yourself a break! ☕ A study suggest that taking a break for 5-60 minutes refreshes your brain.
Inside out is an amazing movie to understand about your emotions.
Ruskin Bond is a renowned contemporary Indian writer of British descent. Famously known for his children’s books. The little green book of happiness is nothing short of a treasure. It’s a keeper and one book which makes you feel better just when you need it. Happiness is as exclusive as your coffee. If you stay and keep at it, it may get easier. Savour those moments, for there is no reverse in the reality.
Here are 5 quotes from the book that I absolutely love-
💚 Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. – Thich Nhat Hanh
💚 Sometimes there is greater joy in gazing at a mountain than in climbing it.
💚 Don’t let one cloud obliterate the whole sky. – Anais Nin
💚Money often costs too much.—Ralph Waldo Emerson
💚 Happiness is as exclusive as a butterfly, and you must never pursue it. If you stay very still, it may come and settle on your hand. But only briefly. Savour those moments, for they will not come in your way very often.
Nearly everyday whether you are at corporations or at school or at home, communication is like salt to every dish. Imagine a day with zero communication – merely the thought of it is panicking.

You can use these C’s while communicating face to face or in emails.
