How To Stay Calm In 5 Simple Steps
Anger is an emotion characterized by antagonism toward someone or something you feel has deliberately done you wrong. This emotional trigger of anger signals that we are being threatened, injured, deprived, robbed of rewards and things we expect. Anger can be a good thing. For example, it can motivate you to find solutions to problems. It can give you a way to express perceived negative feelings in a positive way.
Physically - Anger affects your liver or gallbladder, it causes your body to release adrenaline, your muscles to tighten, and your heart rate and blood pressure to rise. Your senses might feel more acute and your face and hands might feel hot or sweaty.
Why do you need to know what triggers your anger?
Anger is a natural response to perceived threats. There are many common triggers for anger, such as losing your patience, feeling as if your opinion or efforts aren't appreciated, and injustice. Other causes of anger include memories of traumatic or enraging events and worrying about personal problems. You also have unique anger triggers, based on what you were taught to expect from yourself, others and the world around you.
Emotionally - You may cry, experience deep sadness, or become vengeful. Studies show that our tendency to avoid the pain inherent in taking responsibility for our lives is at the core of anger, and is central to nearly every emotional ailment, including anxiety, depression, and addiction. For us to remain unblemished in our own minds, we are forced to distort the world around us, and if our grasp on reality is flawed, then our adjustment to life will suffer.

Accept - Your ego colours the world so that you remain untarnished. Choose to accept the reality you find yourself in.
Reframe - By reframing the past and putting it into a different context, we change what it means instantly and automatically.
Forgive - Have you ever noticed that when you’re angry with yourself, you tend to bang into things or knock them over? The more forgiving you are of your own setbacks when you let yourself down, the easier it will be for you to forgive others when they’ve let you down.
Recognize - There are many common triggers for anger, such as losing your patience, feeling as if your opinion or efforts aren't appreciated, and injustice. Learn who you are so you can be proactive in any situation.
Most of our anger issues come from an unwillingness to face the emotional pain of either something someone did to us (producing anger), or something we did (producing guilt or shame, which is anger turned inward). Choose to act responsibly and increase your ability to remain calm in any situation.
