Anger Management

Anger Management

Since ANGER is fundamentally a raw emotion, we often DON'T give it much thought [even on a post-mortem basis].  BUT if you feel that there is likely a legitimate anger management problem, experts tell us to trace [backwards] the origins of that ANGER and HOW they affect feelings and behaviors can help.  Understanding WHAT makes you ANGRY and HOW you respond WON'T solve the problem BUT those steps will start you on the right path of Anger Management📗📙📘

ANGER is a normal, healthy emotion, neither good OR bad.  Like any emotion, it conveys a message, telling you that a situation is upsetting, unjust OR threatening.  If your knee-jerk reaction to ANGER is to explode, however, the message NEVER has a chance to be conveyed.  So, WHILE it's perfectly normal to feel ANGRY WHEN you've been mistreated OR wronged, ANGER becomes a problem WHEN you express it in a way that harms yourself OR others💧💧💧

Problem is. many of us [wrongly] think that venting ANGER is healthy, that the people around you are too sensitive, that your ANGER is justified, OR that you need to show your fury to get respect.  BUT the harsh truth is that ANGER is much more likely to have a NEGATIVE impact on the way people see you, impair your judgment and get in the way of success.  BUT shouldn't we pull the brakes for now and understand the effects of ANGER?  Chronic ANGER that flares up all the time OR spirals out of control can have serious consequences to your:

PHYSICAL HEALTH - According to experts, constantly operating at high levels of stress and ANGER makes you more vulnerable to heart diseases, diabetes, weakened immune system, amongst others💥💥💥

MENTAL HEALTH - Chronic ANGER consumes huge amounts of mental energy and clouds your thinking, making it harder to concentrate or even enjoy life.  Worst, it can lead to stress, depression and other mental health problems.

RELATIONSHIPS - ANGER can cause lasting scars in the people you love most and get in the way of friendships and work relationships💦💦💦

Our takeaway:  Separate the MYTH and FACT when it comes to ANGER.  Allow me to share that shortlist:

MYTH:  It's healthy to vent ANGER and let it out.  FACT:  While it's true suppressing and ignoring ANGER is unhealthy, venting is NO better.  ANGER is NOT something you have to 'LET OUT' in an aggressive way to avoid blowing up.  

The list grows and this tells us to contain effectively our ANGER management.  No less than that❗❗❗
