Anger is an emotion characterized by antagonism toward someone or something you feel has deliberately done you wrong. Anger can be a good thing. It can give you a way to express negative feelings, for example, or motivate you to find solutions to problems. But excessive anger can cause problems.
Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems—problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. And it can make you feel as though you're at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion.
Anger is one those emotions that makes us do things that we later regret and makes us say things we don't mean to people we care about. If not managed properly, it doesn't only hurt us, but it also hurt the people we love. It doesn't only affect our mental and emotional health, it also affects our physical health. According to the Yale University, people with anger management issues tend to get sick more often and are more likely to get heart attack.
So, anger management is very important for our physical, mental and emotional health.
We can control our anger by counting down from ten when we are angry. If we are very mad, then we count down from 100. In the time it takes us to count, our heart rate will slow, and our anger will likely subside.
We can also take deep breaths to control our anger. Taking deep breaths helps both our body and our mind to calm down.
We should express our anger properly. We can shout at a wall when we are alone. We must keep in mind that suppressing our anger will only make it worse. It drives a person totally crazy.
We could also calm ourselves down by listening to the song we love.
Another way to control our anger is by using it for our creativity like writing poems and stories and also for painting. Emotions are powerful muses for creative people, and anger is no exception.
Anger is a normal emotion that everyone experiences from time to time. However, if you find your anger turns to aggression or outbursts, you need to find healthy ways to deal with anger.
