I find that good music is a great way for me to calm down and refocus my mind. I will try to incorporate some of your suggestions as well. Thank you for sharing this wonderful article.

I don't usually get angry quickly but she has this nasty habit of sputtering out insults that finally brings me to a boiling point. I exploded. I don't hurt anyone; I don't even so much as pinch her. But I break things, plastic chairs, small tables, etc. I often forget that this scare tactic does not work on her anymore. She proceeds with her babble. She is determined to keep me miserable while she's at it. Then I remembered that I wrote in my site about <a href="http://moralde.com/feelgood" rel="nofollow">the need to feel good always</a>. I knew I should get my state up and out of this quickly or else commit the same mistakes I listed in my article. The first two of your instant fixes is what I used. I went to approach my youngest daughter and made funny faces at her. When she laughed, I was immediately out of my misery. But since the background babbling was still there, I need to keep this up too. In between making my daughter laugh, I recalled all the really funny youtube videos I have seen. This is really effective, I found myself laughing softly, which I had to stifle lest my wife interpret it negatively. When you're in a fight, I don't think you can do the last 4 instant fixes. You can't read a book with all that babbling noise. You can't drink tea, lest she picks it up and splash on your head. You can't 'walk out' on her. Take a shower or bath? But I can't stand very long baths. Last night, my wife and I had a fight.

Enjoy with friends and do everything which you like. I am totally agree with Alex that If you are not in mood to go to office then don’t go. Enjoy with friends and do everything which you like.

I don't dictate which day, so that means if I'm feeling cranky one day I can take the morning off, watch TV on my computer and forget about all the pressures that made me cranky. By lunchtime I'm in a much better mood having thoroughly enjoyed my pout and I get back to being my normally optimistic self.
