Here's an idea: disconnect from online and reconnect with nature: go outside and proceed for the longest distance comfortable to a park, a tree, a weed by the sidewalk, lichen on a rock; anything growing and not human.

It is absolutely true that you can go touch grass to manage your anger. You'll feel much better. At the same time, some anger is legitimate, especially if you're talking about anger caused by inequality and injustice. If your solution to that kind of anger is to make it go away by disconnecting and ignoring it, you're only helping to perpetuate the inequality and injustice by pushing it out of your mind. Removing the anger removes some of your motivation for rectifying its cause. If you have illogical rage issues, like say road rage, yeah. Go ahead and take care of that however works best for you. If you're mad for legitimate reasons, I suggest letting that anger fuel you to act in a way to help bring about real change.
