We have all been angry or upset at work due to something that was out of our control. However, unchecked anger and aggression towards co-workers can do a lot of damage to your relationships and career. Next time anger strikes, mood freezing can be a great option. 

Sometimes having a few minutes to yourself or finding a distraction can help you see things in a different light. Changing your habits may give you more time and space within a hectic day and allow yourself to practice relaxation techniques.

There are a ton of mood freezing techniques that are effective at helping to calm you down at work:

1) Accept the situation

Decide to make the best of whatever happens. As you pay attention to things you do have control over, other factors can become less frustrating.

2) Practice relaxation

Develop relaxation methods that work for you. Engage in daily meditation or take a walk. Listen to instrumental music or schedule a massage after work.

3) Get to a quiet place

Modern life bombards us with noise, so it can be nice to have someplace you can retreat to.

4) Take a pause

There is a lot of power in stopping your anger by counting to ten. Give yourself time to consider how to respond.

5) Anticipate consequences

Use that pause to calculate how different approaches are likely to turn out. 

6) Talk it over

Direct discussions usually work best. Negotiate a flexible work schedule with your boss rather than letting resentments build up.

7) Challenge media representations

Media tends to celebrate aggression. Maintain a critical mind so you can separate entertainment from real life.

8) Seek distractions

Some things need to be examined and others are best left alone. Listen to an audio book to take your mind off a long daily commute.

9) Analyze events

On the other hand, serious issues require more attention. Ask yourself why a  co-working relationship now seems strained. It may be worth getting to the bottom of.

10) Address root causes

Make an effort to identify the ultimate source of your feelings. Your distress over small tasks may really be tied to deeper concerns.

11) Change your routine

There may be a dilemma in your life or recurring patterns that bother you. If you want different results, do things differently.
