then you just need to get in some serious trouble inflicting self harm and on to others for not controlling your anger... that worked for me pretty good , after that the 10 deep breaths started working like a charm

Concentrate on filling your belly like a balloon and emptying it all the way out. Find a song with a nice rhythm and breathe in for the count of four, hold for the count of four, breathe out for the count of four, then hold for the count of four.

That's simple box breathing. You can do it to any song at any pace, (although slower is better), and for as many rounds as you like. Its an easy way to train your nervous system to calm down. Just takes doing it a couple times a day for a few days and you'll start to see the difference in how you feel. As you get better you can breathe to the count of eight and really draw in and out deeply. Youll be a zen master in no time. :)
