1. 화를 식히려고 잠을 자지마라
미국신경과학학회 학술지 “신경과학 저널”(Journal of Neuroscience)에 따르면 잠은 “감정적 기억” (emotional memories)을 강화시키는 역할을 한다. 즉 화난 채 잠을 자면 깨어있을 때 보다 안 좋은 감정들이 머리에 굳어질 가능성이 더 높다는 것이다.
2. 먹을 것으로 해결하지마라
우리는 분노를 느낄 때 해로운 고칼로리 음식에 더 손이 간다. 화날 때 야채를 마구 먹는 사람은 없을 것이다. 이러한 행위는 건강 해로우며 “분노”상태의 몸은 자기가 위험한 상황에 처있다고 생각하기 때문에 소화가 원활하게 이루어지지 않을 수 있다.
3. 운전하지마라
화났을 때 운전하는 것은 매우 위험하다. 화난 사람은 공격하는 것을 덜 꺼려하며 자기만의 시야를 형성해 앞만 보고 주위를 살피지 않아 사고를 야기할 확률이 높다.
4. 화풀이를 하지 말 것
화풀이를 하는 것은 좋지 않은 일이다. 오히려 상황을 악화시킬 수 있다. 이러한 상태에서 폭력적인 행동을 하면 (예: 벽 또는 옆 사람을 치는 것) 폭력적인 성격을 키우는 것과 마찬가지다.
5. 언쟁을 하지 마라
화난 상태에서 언쟁을 벌이면 후회할 말을 내뱉을 수 있다. 화났을 때 언쟁을 벌이는 상황이 온다면 “타임아웃”을 요구하고 진정된 상태에서 다시 대화를 하는 것이 좋다.
6. 이메일을 쓰지 마라
“보내기 버튼”을 누르면 그 메일은 다시 취소할 수 없다. 후회할 말을 보냈어도 취소하기가 어렵다. 감정을 표출하고 싶으면 워드 파일에 작성하라. 그러면 후련해지는 동시에 후회할 일도 없을 것이다.
7. SNS 사용 금지
메일 쓰는 것과 마찬가지로 SNS에 올린 글은 취소하기가 어렵다. 나중에 삭제가 가능하더라도 이미 많은 사람들이 그 글을 봤을 것이다.
8. 술을 마시지 마라
알코올은 “충동억제”기능을 저해하며 사람들을 대담하게 만들어 버린다. 화난 상태에서 술을 마시면 상황이 최악으로 변할 수 있으니 술은 자제하는 것이 좋다.
9. 고뇌에 빠지지 마라
고뇌에 빠져서 나한테 상처를 준 사람 또는 나를 화나게 만든 사람에 대해 생각하는 것은 분노를 식히는데 도움이 되지 않는다. 그 대신 진정하려고 노력한 후에 직접 그 사람과 얘기를 하는 것이 좋다.
10. 혈압에 신경을 써라
분노는 건강과 연관이 되어있다. 분노를 쉽게 조절하지 못한다면 혈압에 더 신경 쓰는 것이 좋을 것이다. 혈압이 오른다면 분노를 조절하려고 하는 것이 최선의 방법이다.

What not to do when you’re angry
Everyone has bad days from time to time. Anger not only affects your mood but also your ability to perform daily tasks. The Huffington Post introduced 10 things that you should not do when you are angry.
1. Don’t sleep on it
According to the study of Journal of Neuroscience, sleep enhances emotional memories. This means that if you are going to sleep while angry, negative emotions are going to be consolidated more effectively than if being awake.
2. Don’t eat
At an angry stage we are likely to make more unhealthy food choices and are craving high-fat and high-sugar food. If the body is in an angry state, it thinks that it is in danger and therefore digestion does not function well.
3. Don’t drive
Driving while angry can be very dangerous. When a person is angry, it is more likely that he or she gets primed for attacks and creates a “person tunnel vision,” which means that you only look straight and don’t look around.
4. Don’t vent
Letting anger out of you might not be a good idea. It makes only the situation worse and it doesn’t make you happy. In addition, getting violent while angry triggers more violent behavior in the future.
5. Don’t argue
Arguing while angry can lead to saying things that you might regret later. If you are having a conversation while you are angry, simply ask for a “time out” and come back to the conversation later.
6. Don’t write emails
You can’t take back things after you hit the “send” button. If you want to get rid of your angry thoughts, just write them on a Word document. There won’t be any regret if you do it this way.
7. Don’t use Facebook
As with emails, you can‘t take back what you have said. Plus, everyone will become aware of things you didn’t wanted to make official.
8. Don’t drink alcohol
Alcohol removes the impulse control and doesn’t help you calm down, but rather the opposite. It lowers inhibition and impulse and can make situations much worse.
9. Don’t ruminate
Ruminating, overthinking about the person who harmed you, is no resolution to anger. Be cool, stay cool and talk to the person instead
10. Don’t ignore your blood pressure
Anger is related to health. If you are an “angry person,” you should check your blood pressure more often. If your blood pressure goes up, stop being angry and try to manage your anger.
