All you need to do is to give yourself a break. Make sure you have some “personal time” scheduled for times of the day that you know are particularly stressful.

Acknowledge That you Have a Problem

This will definitely pave way for management.

Put yourself in the victim’s shoe

Put yourself in the position of someone who is usually at the receiving end of your anger. If all the harsh words or inflictions you’ve laid on others were laid on you. What would have been your reaction?

Use Humor

“Silly humor” can help defuse rage in a number of ways. For one thing, it can help you get a more balanced perspective.

Relaxation

Breathing deeply, slowly repeating a calm word or phrase and relaxing imagery, can help calm down angry feelings.

Build Trust

Angry people always have the notion that others do things on purpose to annoy or frustrate them. However, people often focus less on you than you might think! Try to be honest and build trust with people so that you will less likely to attribute their actions to malicious intent.
