   Take a deep breath and count to ten before you give your reaction.
   Realize that there’s always the other side to the coin.

   Impulsive reaction more than often results in deep feelings of regret for both sides.

   Also exercising or creating any kind of art work will give a positive outlet to your pent up energy, hence you’ll be calmer when interacting with seemingly annoying people.

   Hope this helps and wish you luck.

   The ultimate anger management tip is to recognize that you are solely responsible for your experience in life. Nothing can happen come to you without your either having earned it through previous karma, or find current agreement with it. Once realizing that, you know there is no one else to blame. Look in the mirror. If you don’t like your current experience of life, change it. That’s more self-responsibility than most people are willing to accept. How about you?

   Recognize your emotion — don’t keep your anger bottled in and pretend that you’re okay. Afterwards lock yourself inside your car and make sure that all the windows are closed and then shout or cry your heart out. Stay inside the car for as long as you need to. Sometime it only takes a minute; other times, an hour. It works for me!! After doing this, I get out of the car with a clearer head and I can already approach certain issues with a steady mind. In addition, I have gained control of my emotions. In case I’m mad at someone, I’m now sure that what I’m going to say to that person is what I really mean… not just because I want to hurt that person. (Caution: just make sure that the engine is not running when you get inside the car..lol)

   Self analysis to work out what the anger is really about! Usually when we get angry, the obvious cause is really just a trigger and the anger is usually connected to deeper and more hidden issues.
   By looking at all the different triggers for anger and seeing the connection between them, it is possible to identify what greater unresolved pain is causing the anger to flare when it does.
   This means rationalising and intellectually analysing an emotional issue. The only way to deal effectively with disturbing emotions is to introduce the intellect and analyse dispassionately.

   It is difficult to calm ones self when the heat of anger is swelling within. The time to combat anger and rage is before it starts. While one is calm, and in control of their emotions, when clarity of thought is possible.

   Be aware of your areas of weakness, avoiding situations which cause undue stress. Count your blessings, make a commitment to yourself that you WILL treat others as you would want to be treated. Pray for insight, wisdom and a peaceful spirit. Build a compassionate soul within. Recognize that every human living is dealing with pain of one sort or another. Give the world a break. People are not out to get you. They are trying to survive, and they too are struggling.

   When you start to feel the heat rising, let that feeling be the trigger that tells you, that as an act of your will, you will physically take a step back and say out loud "Let’s make a new start in this conversation, maybe I was wrong." That defuses most volatile situations, and a new beginning is then possible.
