Road rage is always a scary aspect of being on the road, and no matter your background or where you are, you have to accept that not everyone is the best driver. Rather than giving the middle finger to every car or taxi that cuts you off and letting one finger develop arthritis, turn the other cheek and don't let the offense bother you.

Not only is anger dangerous to everyone on the road at the time, but even the long-term effects on your health are not worth the 5 minutes of cursing at the driver who offended you. We asked health and wellbeing experts for advice on how to manage road rage. Take a look below and help you become the change you want to see on your path.

Breathing: Breathing exercises can help you cleanse your body of stagnant air and stale energy, make your blood more oxygenated, and, of course, relieve stress. Focusing on your breath brings your attention inward, making frustrations seem more distant without taking your attention too far away from the road.

Listen: Listen to music or audiobooks. Music can subtly color your experience and add an exciting soundtrack to your commute. Audiobooks can provide you with just the right amount of distraction to make driving enjoyable enough that you find annoying drivers and heavy traffic less frustrating.

Relax: When you feel depressed, you store tension in your body. Simple techniques will help you learn to quickly release tension in your body, even while you're sitting in your car, which will help you feel more relaxed, both physically and mentally.

Play: Use cognitive behavioral interventions such as Counting Idiots. Basically, if you accept that a certain number of people are going to make a fool of themselves on the road and decide to count them out as a game, you can reduce the stress associated with reacting to their rude behavior.

Plan: Usually, when we feel frustrated on the road, it's because we are in a hurry and can't get to our destination quickly due to traffic jams. Organizing your schedule so that you can leave early and planning transportation will help you feel more relaxed, as this can really matter if the trip requires a few extra minutes.

In the end, it's up to you, and your behavior toward other drivers will often determine how a potentially dangerous situation ends. Deal with your road rage just like you would deal with a little kid breaking things, stay cool and cool, stay calm, who knows your calmness might cause someone else to do the same! Stay safe out there!
