1. Locate a potential outlet
Make an intended effort to heal the situation rather than dwelling on what got you furious. Are you frustrated by your child’s irregular behavior? Look for something to keep them engaged. Is a family member or a friend doing anything that irritates you? Calm down and engage in a productive conversation or establish clear boundaries.
2. Forgiveness or perhaps forget
One of the most effective antidotes to resentment is forgiveness. Allowing rage and other unpleasant ideas and sentiments to distort and disrupt one’s daily life leads to bitterness, anger, and pessimism. You’ll both learn a great lesson if you can forgive someone who caused you to feel angry. For you, the ability to forgive will stress the fact that no one has control over your mental condition. The forbearance you show the offender may just be enough to remind them of the value of keeping one’s word.
3. Enhance your listening abilities
Listening skills training may appear to be an afterthought but bear with us. We instantly strengthen communication between the other person and ourselves when we are engaged listeners. This fosters trust, which can aid in the reduction of potentially antagonistic thoughts and feelings. Demonstrating to somebody that you’re paying attention achieves three goals: It builds or reinforces feelings of empathy through (1) demonstrating that you care, (2) demonstrating that the other person’s thoughts and emotions matter, and (3) establishing or reinforcing sentiments of empathy.
4. Become more relaxed
Relaxation practices, such as deep breathing and soothing imagery, can help quiet down furious feelings, according to the American Psychological Association (APA).
