How to avoid anger
There are various tips to calm anger, although in each individual they can lead to different degrees of effectiveness. One of the most widespread is to go for a walk or a stroll; Physical fatigue is ideal for clearing the mind and dissipating the anger produced by certain situations, such as arguments or difficult-to-solve problems.
If we stay at home thinking only about the problem in front of us, without exploring new alternatives to solve it but simply reviewing the methods we have already tried, we will be guaranteed failure. This leads us to a very deep frustration that fuels anger and leads us to argue with those close to us. The physical exercise that a walk entails ensures a deep sleep session, in which we may organize our ideas differently.
Practicing a sport can bring similar results to going for a walk, although this requires a vocation that not all of us have.

In a group where there are individuals of both types, this difference can lead to arguments due to a lack of understanding of the other's personality.
Anger can be treated with physical exercise, but also with reflection and dialogue: many times, the best way to end the discomfort is to express our feelings in front of the person with whom we have become angry or to someone who gives us unconditional support , to look at the problem as objectively as possible and try to fix things.
