How do you calm yourself when you’re feeling angry/explosive?

Movement is a good way to channel the anger without suppressing it, so push ups work for me

Positive affirmations. I learning to be kinder to myself. For as long as I've been harsh with myself it hasn't helped the situations.

I’m a very patient person, so if I’ve got to that point, just run. There’s no saving anybody.

I wait for the night and go star watching. That puts things into perspective. I find it calming and soothing to simply watch the stars. In really explosive times I go on a long walk and/or do yoga and fantasize about slaughter.

I can't remember last time I was like that - but I guess I'd go for a walk or play some video games until I chill out.

I get angry but I've never been explosive, I really don't emote, I just file it away and maintain it forever, I am super healthy you guys

I guess I just wait for it to go away and try not to do anything too damaging while I'm angry. Communication can help, though, saying exactly what they did and how it affected you, maybe even with power, as long as it's not done with spite/the intent to harm.
