Exercise, anything that tires you out quickly. Eg. press ups.

Or just have 15 minuites on the ol'punchbag

I exercise. It works wonders for me. And as it happens i am studying fitness. I think i may end up becoming a very calm person.
Well, I don't study fitness, but working out does wonders for me, too. Usually my rage intensifies at first, until the burn turns into pain, but when I reach the point of exhaustion all my rage disappears in an instant... kinda like a balloon popping because it can't take the pressure anymore.

I calm down one of the worst possible ways. I don't. I hold a grudge against the person who has annoyed me until I have payed them back in kind. So really it is just filed in the back of my mind for later use.

Either listen to metal which I would do anyway or just meditate. Or if I am around a lot of people just seek refuge in my mind for a little bit.

To calm down when I am annoyed, I normally use music.
The soothing melodies placate my boiling rage.
This is one such song used to negate my ill-tempered moments.

I go somewhere quiet and just do nothing for a while. Then try thinking about how whatever has pissed me off so much usually isn't worth it and try move onto something more positive.

That or text a friend "Free for a rant?" and then ring them and vent...big time.

Watch Law & Order: Criminal intent, George Carlin or Bill Hicks on DVD. Always makes me feel better, especially after a really crappy day.

try listening to this at the same time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMnrl0tmd3k , if that doesnt calm u down, nothing does.
I thank you for the gift you have given me with this link. Know that you may well have prevented a future homicide caused by unending numbers of hackers in CoD6.

OT: I keep it to myself generally. Rage counselling does that to you I guess.

I listen to some angry music.

Pearl Jam's Do The Evolution useally does the trick.
I listen to 'Kill You' by Korn, lol. Usually does the trick.

How do you still have your sight?

OT: I usually stroke my knife, maybe feel the blade.
Just holding a weapon calms me down... Don't judge me.

I imagine myself doing extremely visceral things to them.

Mainly in the style of a Tony Jaa film.

I say to myself that nothing can be proven and that I don't know enough to judge anything or anyone.
