Take a slow, deep breath.

Relax your neck and shoulder muscles

• Inhale: With your mouth closed, breathe in slowly through your nose for two seconds. Count: 1-2

• Purse (pucker) your lips as if you want to kiss someone or blow out a candle.

• Exhale: breathe slowly out through your pursed lips for four seconds. Count: 1-2-3-4

• Repeat this cycle for 4 minutes or until your breathing returns to normal.

Then

1. Ask yourself what I am angry about? What has triggered this anger?

2. Observe sensations in your body, name feelings, and allow them to pass without trying to force them away.
