Great thread, vortex!
Honestly, the thoughts I think that help my rage in the short term make in worse in the long term, so I do what WovenGalaxy wrote, I read, I bike, I change my environment or do whatever to stop thinking. I also like baking and listening to audio books, or puzzle while listening to music. Activities in which my mind can roam while having something structured to process are great. Somehow that enables me to put a distance between those negative thoughts and me and thus am better able to control them/ push them away.
