What is the best thing to do if you are mad?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Change your mind and the anger will dissolve; transform your inner stance, and the outer world will realign itself."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the best thing to do when you are mad is to change your mind—drop the thought-stream that fuels the anger and shift your inner stance. By choosing a new perspective in the present moment, the mood loses its grip. Transform the state from within, and the outer situation reorganizes itself.
When you feel mad, switch your inner channel—pick a different thought and mood right now.
Why this matters practically
- Stops reactive words and actions before they harm relationships.
- Restores clarity and calm so you can respond wisely.
- Builds the habit of choosing your inner state instead of being ruled by it.
