Conflicts are an inevitable part of every person.

Sometimes it gets too emotional.

What is anger

Anger is a normal, natural human reaction to some irritant or threat.

During aggression, people usually begin to raise their voices, throw things, and insult others.

It is important to understand that such a reaction does not mean that you are a bad person, as it is an unconscious reaction to stress.

To make your life and the lives of loved ones easier, it is important to be able to control your emotions and cope with anger.

How to calm down during a quarrel

To calm down during an argument, try leaving the room.

Just say you don't want to continue and go into another room or outside.

Give yourself time to come to your senses and calm down.

Fast walking, sports, running, as well as meditation and breathing practices will help relieve anxiety and overcome anger.

To calm yourself in the moment, slow your breathing and count to 10.

You can also try grounding. This is a way to help you focus on the present moment.

For example, you can pay attention to your body, feel how you are standing on the ground, holding an object.

Look around and look at what is around you.

This practice will help you calm down and come to your senses during nervous stress or a panic attack.
