ANGER Is Like COAL

 

Here's a giveaway and bonus question.  WHO's our common #1 nemesis in life?  Our meddling neighbor?  NOPE!  Our cranky elder who refuses hospice care?  NOPE!  Our monster boss?  NOPE!  Our toughest customer BUT WHO we CAN'T drive away because he's our customer?  NOPE!  Here it is.  ANGER is our common nemesis in life.  It cuts across ages, cultures and all societal barriers.  When ANGER erupts, it's ten times worse than the anger of either Italy's Mount Vesuvius or Indonesia Mount Dukono.   ANGER IS LIKE COAL.  It will burn the hands itself.  And before you know it, we're done, we're burned, we're toast😡😡😡

YES, ANGER can us make feel as though we're at the very mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion we can never run counter.  WHETHER it starts as a fleeting annoyance that eventually worsens into a full-blown rage, ANGER is a completely normal and usually healthy human emotion.  BUT here's the catch, dude.  WHEN it get's out of control and turns destructive, that's it☝☝☝

Worst of worse things, ANGER can lead us to that path towards problems, be it at our home, at work, at our business operations OR even amongst one's colleagues or friends.  Taking a leaf from the experts, they advise that the three main approaches with ANGER are as follows:

• EXPRESSING
• SUPPRESSING
• And...... CALMING

YES, the instinctive and natural way to express ANGER is to respond aggressively!!!

Without being defensive, experts opine that ANGER is our natural and adaptive response to threats as it inspires that powerful and often aggressive feelings and those manifested behaviors that sometimes become uncontrollable, allowing us to fight off and defend ourselves WHEN we feel attacked OR even at least offended.  A certain amount of ANGER is necessary for our survival, at least within WHAT is reasonable until things become unreasonable💥💥💥

Our takeaway:  WHICHEVER path things will evolve WHEN ANGER is at the very core of things, this is WHERE ANGER management is worth considering WHERE the modest goal is to reduce both one's emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that ANGER causes.  YES, we CAN'T get rid of OR avoid the things OR those people WHO tend to enrage us NOR can we change them BUT we can learn to CONTROL OUR EMOTIONS BEFORE OUR EMOTIONS WILL CONTROL US.  YES dude, ANGER IS LIKE COAL, it will eventually burn your hand until you're toast😡😡😡
