Taking a cold shower does the complete opposite of calming you down. Think about it, exposing yourself to an extreme cold that your body isn't used to sends your brain into survival mode as your heart rate rises to compensate for the low temperatures. It increases adrenaline flow, not decrease.
It doesn't have to be ice cold. Infact, you will probably find a cool shower very relaxing. Some morning I like to take one when I get up because it makes me feel pretty good. Infact, I actually do better on days when I take a cool shower to start. Cause I just feel more relaxed overall.

Throwing your mouse in the wall fix it.

I can say that liquidpedia's advice to do push ups if you have an adrenaline rush is not that great.
Did about 30 in a very small window of time and had sore back and shoulders for about 3 days afterwards

Well, that just shows how powerful adrenaline can be, as it pushed you beyond your normal limits for push ups. But acknowledging that the body wants to either fight or run away is good. Do some exercise, but do not overdo it.

No offense but that just sounds like you're out of shape...

While doing push-ups will make you feel better physically, it won't take you off of tilt or improve your ability to play. If anything you may find your mouse harder to control.

I find my biggest issue is if I lose game in a frustrating way and then que another right after, I find myself thinking about the last game instead of focusing on the current one, then I lose that one to.

We also normaly relate a big part of our assimilation memory or gestures to peoples we know,
is a very powerfull technique to memorise and remember very detailed how everyperson influents our behaviour so you can "call his hand" upon the necessary time, it is also known as using the right hand of the person.
if you pay attention closely you always remember a person before doing something , or remember a person to use the behaviour you assimilated with him.
in a very organized mind maybe we can have a person who categorized every person he met to achieve the maximum performance of every task necessary,that could explain why we give names or qualities even withouth having conciousness of why we should do it , this unconciouss behavior may acts back when we are on the rythim mind and can give to the person who does it a unconciouss fear to give the proper names and qualities to everyone who he mets becouse of the indexing of memory.
peoples remembering is probably the only way to use their behaviour our mind assimilate and mimic almost unconciously and impressively detailed , is almost impossible to describe how the human mind can see someone doing something and imediately become the other person by assimilation in steps , that is the left side brain part that make many step-by-step actions,the right side brain is very works another way and can be very complex specially for mens.

Quite the guide. The fact it openly contradicts itself at the end is interesting, because it presents a solution it doubts, and one that certainly isn't a solution. You won't callous your mind if you don't push through difficult situations.
I'm going to play my appeal to authority here with a degree in psychology and deep understanding of sports psychology, but there is only two things you need to do:
#1 - Mute your opponent - Nothing they say is going help you stay focused.
#2 - Win or learn, never lose - Losses are lessons. You didn't lose because you were better at that moment, you lost because they were better at that moment, by definition of the word better. Respect the definition of better and learn from it. Embrace "More GG More Skill."
If you're not failing in life, your not trying. Failure is an excellent thing, but most people can't stomach it, which is why most are mediocre.
When you embrace failure and ignore the naysayers, you won't get tilted, you'll get energized and will have calloused your mind.
If you're struggling beyond that, read Mind Gym by Gary Mack. The toughest fight you'll ever have in life is with yourself. Win that fight, not just because it will help you Starcraft, but because it helps you with life.

I like that philosophy. Every game - win or lose - can be used as a data point for reflection and analysis. Even if you get embarrassingly steamrolled, there's often at least something useful that can be learned from watching the replay.

I am a casual diamond player - and I disagree with the premise that one should avoid "tilt". The most fun games I have are when I am emotionally involved; nailbiting basetrades or chaotic games. If I was to experience those games like a lot of pro players without any visible emotion - why should I care for the game; it's not like I am playing for money.

My post is for those who want to reduce their tilt episodes and who have the time and will to play and analyze the game. Otherwise go meet a friend. Or continue reading if you're curious anyway.
Imagine a hypothetical (wishful and unattainable) scenario in which you have a perfect understanding of the game theory (not clairvoyance) and you have the necessary muscle memory and the right tools to optimally execute it at all times. You'd know all that is knowable and you'd know how much is possible to know. Then you'd be in a situation where you could have certainty in your true long-term winrate. Given that no factors outside of your control impact your performance in any capacity, you could quite well be in a state of complete confidence.
In such a state there would be no rational reason to experience tilt (except out of boredom, but I won't address that), as you'd always know why you're winning or losing, and you'd know that there's nothing more you can do about it.
What this means is that one of the main reasons why we tilt is that we experience uncertainty. Uncertainty in our knowledge, in our abilities and perhaps in our tools. We can't control our future results and we can't fully explain past results, therefore we're in an anxious state. The more uncontrollable and unexplainable our results are, the more anxious we get, and the more likely it gets that we tilt.
Therefore one of the most important things to do in order to overcome tilt is to enhance our theoretical knowledge, another is to improve our execution, and we also want to make sure that our tools are optimized. We don't want to be guessing the right play a lot, and we don't want to miss important keyboard inputs.
This means we need to play, study and visualize. We need to cover basic, advanced and expert knowledge and mechanics. We also need good hardware, optimized for our needs, and a good internet connection of course.
If, despite following this, we still happen to tilt, then there's a good chance that we need to correct something in one of those areas. Realistically we'll never be complete, but there's probably always room for more.
Another thing that can cause tilt is when we believe we're facing an inevitable and unwanted conclusion. This belief can either be true or false, but it's not always something that can be addressed with knowledge or execution, because not everything is knowable or doable. In such a case we may tilt and possibly ruin our last realistic chance at overcoming the perceived finality of our fate.
A famous example would be Idra prematurely quitting a televised game that wasn't yet lost. Doing pretty much anything other than quit the game would've been a better choice. That doesn't mean we should never surrender, but it means we should stick around until we've completely exhausted our realistic options - because it's possible that our perception is off.
A few last words: frustration and anger are not the same thing as tilt. You may experience frustration and anger while you're tilting, but also while you're not tilting, so they can sometimes be unrelated.
I do believe that in certain situations frustration and anger can drive certain people to perform better. But everyone's different, so what works for one person may not work for all. You gotta know yourself.
