When I get really angry, I have a hard time thinking clearly, so the first thing I do is remove myself from the situation. Sometimes simply walking for a few minutes helps relieve tension. I also find it helpful to put on some calming music or even write down what I'm feeling in a notebook to get it out of my head. If it's something really intense, I practice deep breathing because, although it may seem basic, it really helps slow my heart rate and relax. Other times, talking to someone I trust also helps, as it gives me a different perspective.
