Do you become angry easily? Does your blood start boiling fast? Do you react fast and start yelling? If that’s you, it’s a good idea to learn some tips so you can keep a leash on your anger and calm down.

Keep Calm and Keep Your Anger in Check

Don’t Act on Your First Impulse

Getting angry frequently does not serve any purpose to you. I’m not saying that you should never get angry. It’s a normal human emotion and you should feel it. But the danger is when you react to every situation.

Don’t act on your first impulse. Don’t react to every single thing or person. You must pick your battles carefully. When you show your anger to limited situations and people that actually warrant a reaction, people will also take you more seriously.

Calm Yourself Down

When you feel the emotion, calm yourself down. Let yourself feel the wave of anger and let it then subside because you can think rationally only when the anger has vanished.

Use Positive Self-Talk

Tell yourself that it’s not worth getting upset over what or who triggered you. Let it go because it takes away from your energy. This can trick you into feeling more calm.

Distract Yourself

Take a walk outside or play with your pet. You can exit the conversation or situation gracefully and speak to a close friend in confidence. You can meditate or write in your journal to avoid reacting.

Your body is like a temple. It’s up to you to take care of yourself and be conscious of what goes into your body. In many ways, you are what you eat is true. I am working with a trainer to drop the pounds, but it’s deeper than that. I’ve learned what foods I should put into my body from my trainer and how to keep my energy levels high.

Your Body is a Temple

Improved the Relationship Between Myself and My Body

Ever since I started paying attention to exercising and eating healthier, my relationship towards my body has significantly improved. I’m still not there in terms of the ideal the weight and shape I want for my body. I want to become more toned, but I don’t look at myself in the mirror and cringe at my sight like I did earlier.

I am loving my body, including my flaws. I show love to even the extra flab on my body. It has done wonders to my self-esteem and I’m actually more motivated to work out intensely at the gym.

Eating More Vegetables and Fruits

I am incorporating more veggies into my diet. I eat fruits, but fruits have considerable sugar and carbohydrates, so I am conscious of exactly how much fruit I’m eating. I make veggies with my own twist, throwing together some unique dishes that delight my taste buds.

Eating More Meals Throughout the day to Fuel Me

My trainer made me realize that I’m actually eating less. I need to eat more food throughout the day. I need the energy to keep going! So I’m eating more now!

Drinking Lots of Water

Instead of drinking a soda or coffee, I drink a glass of water. It’s chilling and refreshing. My body is beautiful and in order to be the best version of myself, I drink what energizes me and is nutritious.
