A short walk can help a person calm down and think about a solution. When confronting others about specific problems, situations, or grievances, anger frequently arises. Learning to deal with these issues constructively can help you reduce the impact of your anger while also resolving the underlying trigger. It can help to avoid words like "always" or "never," which can alienate others and make it difficult for someone who is experiencing extreme or irrational anger to believe that things can change. Allow yourself to let go of bitterness, as holding a grudge can fuel anger and make it more difficult to control. Instead of harsh, sarcastic humor, focus on good-natured humor, which can help to relieve anger and resentment. Timing is crucial — if discussions in the evenings tend to devolve into arguments due to exhaustion, for example, shift the times of these discussions. Working toward a better and healthier negotiated settlement can lead to positive emotions for all parties involved.
