\"Let's<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 By Kara Godfrey<\/i><\/p>\n

Yelled at by your boss at work? Been ghosted by some rude-boy? It\u2019s easy to give into the anger and who hasn\u2019t gone on a bit of a Twitter rant only to regret it the next day? Next time you feel the red mist descend, try some of these top tips to staying zen…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Go for a run\/kickbox<\/h2>\n

Forget yoga; it\u2019s all about burning off that rage. An angry run or kickboxing session means you\u2019re concentrating on something else, be it your breathing or someone\u2019s head you\u2019re punching. As Lena Dunham says: “It ain\u2019t about the ass; it\u2019s about the brain.\u201d And don\u2019t forget to use that post-exercise shower for that pretend argument with whomever has got you mad.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vent to a friend<\/h2>\n

Grab a bottle of wine and settle in for the evening. Warn your friends ahead of time but a good vent and scream helps you not only get it off your chest, but can help rationalise whatever the problem was with an external point of view. And any time with the girls is time well spent right?!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do something satisfying yet mundane<\/h2>\n

Whose to-do list is already out of control one month into 2017? However, those mundane tasks you\u2019ve been putting off could come in handy when you need a distraction. Clearing your food cupboard of four-year-old chickpeas or sorting your beauty drawers of gloopy nail varnishes can take your mind off things as well as feeling like you\u2019ve achieved something small. And it\u2019s all good feng shui. Two birds with one (pumice) stone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Head for the apps<\/h2>\n

Ah, the beauty of technology. There are some great apps and websites out there which can help you take your mind off things, be it through meditation or laughter. Headspace<\/a> is perfect for fitting in ten minutes a day of quiet mindfulness.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Look at the big picture<\/h2>\n

If nothing else, when you\u2019re feeling mad or frustrated, it\u2019s always good to keep a list of everything you have achieved and everything positive about you. Create your own \u2018F*** Yeah\u2019 list of your amazing travels, work successes or even just having an amazing bod. So next time you\u2019re feeling mad, just remember; you\u2019re awesome, babe.<\/p>\n
