cools down
Becomes less angry
Cools down means to become less hot, or to make something less hot: Let the engine cool down before checking the oil.
The phrase extends to emotions and intensity—an argument cools down when tempers settle, a relationship cools down when passion fades.
After exercise, you cool down with gentler movement to return your body to its resting state.
