Rest can put things in proper perspective. The relaxation can be achieved with a walk or just to sit quietly in a quiet environment. Listening to music, reading a book, watching a film, taking a bath, swimming, yoga are activities that can help you relax.

Too often people forget to devote time to relax. It is important every day to save some time for relaxation. Choose activities that you enjoy to do at that time. 

3. Violence is no solution to anger.

If you are afraid that this person may become violent or offensive, try not to approach them directly. Initially try to speak to them on the phone to see if they are willing to find a solution to the problem between you and them. 

You can tell that person how you feel because of his own opinion, but do not try to tell him/her how he/she should feel. It is possible in such situation to either agree or disagree with him/her.

In some cases it is useful to have a third person help you resolve the conflict. The third person could serve as a bridge between you and others and help each party understand the views of others.
