Self Talk To Deal With Anger

• Take a deep breath and relax.
• Getting upset won't help.
• As long as I keep my cool, I'm in control.
• Easy does it-there's nothing to be gained in getting mad.
• I'm not going to let him/her get to me.
• I can't change him/her with anger, I'll just upset myself.
• I can find a way to say what I want to without anger.
• Stay calm-no sarcasm, no attacks.
• I can stay calm and relaxed.
• No one is right, no one is wrong. We just have different needs.
• Stay cool, make no judgements.
• No matter what is said, I know I'm a good person.
• I'll stay rational-anger won't solve anything.
• I won't be pushed into losing my cool.
• I have a plan to cope with this. What's the next step?
