How To Not Get Mad – Controlling Madness
There are many tricks to controlling your madness and sadness. First of all you should take 5 deep breaths.Then go to your room and take some more deep breaths. Count how many red or blue things.
Second you should try to cancel out all noise and just start thinking about what upsets you. I like using that technique when I’m getting yelled at. Or you can count your blessings by counting all the things you love.
Third you should try sleeping and just stop thinking about all your worries, anger, and sadness. Just let it all fade away. If you’re a parent and your kid upsets you these next ones are for you.
First you should let it all out by screaming in a pillow or blanket. Then you should take some deep breaths probably, 5-10 of them depending on how bad they upset you really.
Side note you should avoid yelling at them if they do something small but if its really bad you can yell or put them in timeout or something like that.

How To Not Get Sad – Controlling Sadness
First try to calm yourself by meditating or you can even just sleep. This is a great way to compromise your sadness and if you can’t sleep then try the other ideas I mentioned.
Now if none of these work for you then you can always just confront your sadness with somebody and then they can help you hopefully.
And if they can’t help you you can just go somewhere you would like to go, that you love and just to try to clear your mind of whatever it is that is making you super sad, or mad. Or you can just go to somebody else that you think can help you with your problem that your having. If that doesn’t work just try to forget about it all when you are going to bed the next night.
If you want to, leave me a comment on what you do to work through your emotions and control madness and sadness, I would love to hear them.

I find for me that sleep deprivation is when I get sad or mad. If I can control the amount and quality of sleep I’m usually much better.
This is so true! Sleep really does make all the difference!
I try to sleep like you mentioned above and sometimes I watch movies, what actually helps me most is talking to someone that I trust very well; I feel better after doing all these things

Thank you for reading. It can be tough at any age to deal with your own emotions! Being able to control them is such a great skill.
Great ideas! I like to take a bath and read a book or go for a run. Sometimes just going to bed and sleeping it off is helpful too!
So true! Sleeping and resetting works so well.
Great post…I usually too like to lock myself in my room and either watch a show or read a book to just get me to relax and get my emotions under control!
It is nice to be alone sometimes. It helps and is so calming
