Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry:

• Count to 10
• Get or give a hug
• Stamp your feet
• Beat up a pillow because the pillow can’t get hurt
• Draw a picture of your anger
• Play a video game
• Run around the house five times
• Sing along with the stereo
• Pull weeds in the garden
• Think happy thoughts about things like your favorite dessert or a fun vacation
• Take a long bike ride or go in-line skating

Never getting angry is impossible. Instead, remember that it’s how you act on your anger that can make a situation better or worse. Take charge and don’t let anger control you. That way everyone wins.
