Quelling anger

Sometimes when I feel really angry, I figure i should give myself time and wait for tre anger to subside. Like I don't feel the Spirit at the moment and don't feel sincere enough for prayer or scripture study or anything else that would incite it into my life. Although this may be true to a certain extent, I have been taking it too far. When I feel angry, perhaps I can do something for a few minutes to calm down...exercise, do a breathing routine, close my eyes and think of nothing, allow it to burn out a little...but then very quickly I need to fill my heart and soul and mind with good and dispel the anger before it takes hold of me. In this way, it will never become anger...just a temptation to be angry. A temptation I will quell with the help of grace and the Spirit. 

Then I won't have to wait around and then have something to repent about. Instead, I will feel better and stronger sooner.
