Anger turns unhealthy when it flares up all the time or spirals out of control. Chronic and explosive anger will have serious consequences and will affect your relationships, health, and state of mind. Controlling anger is easier than you think. You can master to express your emotions without hurting others.
Anger, like any other emotion, it’s conveying a message, telling you that a situation is upsetting, or unjust, or threatening. If you are exploding due to anger, it only means that the message never had a chance to be conveyed. It’s completely normal to feel angry when you have been mistreated or wronged, anger becomes a problem when you express it in a way that harms yourself or others.
May be you can’t always control the situation you’re in or how it makes you feel, but you can always control how you express your anger without being verbally or physically abusive. You will always have a choice about how to respond.
Venting out your anger is always healthy but the truth is that anger is much more likely to damage your relationships, impair your judgment, get in the way of success. That’s where anger management comes in.
Many people wrongly think that anger management is about learning to suppress your anger. Anger management doesn’t help you to suppress feelings of anger but rather to understand the message behind the emotion and express it in a healthy way without losing control which makes you better in managing conflicts of your life, and strengthen your relationships.
Mastering the art of anger management takes time, but the payoff is huge. Controlling anger and expressing it appropriately will help you build better relationships, achieve your goals, and lead a healthier, more satisfying life.
Out-of-control anger damages your physical health, mental health, your career, your relationships with others causing lasting scars in the people you love most and gets in the way of friendships and work relationships.
