[step] Sometimes try breathing in and out through your nose and exhaling slowly through your mouth. This helps to slow the " fight or flight " feeling associated with emotional outbursts. [step] Keep your cool by breathing deeply and slowly, to calm down your nervous system and to buy yourself some thinking space. [substeps] Try inhaling for 4 seconds, holding for 2, exhaling for 8, waiting for 2 and repeat. [step] Do this by counting to five in your head and then gradually inhaling. Continue in this manner until you feel both tension and anger, working from the tips of your toes. [step] It's easy to think that you are getting angrier than you really are, or that the person you're being frustrated with is getting under your skin. Take a deep breath and try again to calm yourself down before you can continue to berate the person.
