E10 Calm down and work through anger 2

First, I can take some deep breaths or count to ten to calm down. I can stop and think before I say or do something I may feel sorry about later. I have lots of ways to cool down. I might go somewhere quiet to relax and think. I can draw or make things, read a book, or sing a song. I might also run or play outdoors or spend time with other people. When I feel calm I can think more clearly. I may think about my part in the problem and what I can change. Talking things over with somebody I trust may help me understand and work through my anger. I can also talk calmly with the person who was there. I can show respect as I tell how I feel and what I want. I can also listen and try to understand the other person&`&s view. When I&`&ve been angry and I&`&ve said or done something unkind, I can say, "I&`&m sorry." It won&`&t help to blame anyone else.
