Self Control Anger

Life is full of ups and downs. For the most part, people are resilient and move on after adversity. Unfortunately for many others, small diversions, deviations from our well-laid plans, or the ebbs and flows of normal life can throw us for a loop. How we respond to those disruptions is telling. Sure, it’s fine to blow off a little steam, but if your coping mechanisms lead you in the wrong direction and ramp up your stress levels, it may be time to try something new.

All human beings experience anger. Anger is a normal, natural emotion which helps us recognise that we, or people and things we care about, are being treated badly. It is a hostility which we can feel towards people, but also towards animals and inert objects. Anger can be good if it helps you right wrongs, deal with problems and express negative feelings. However, it can also be bad, as it can be harmful both to you and to others, damaging relationships and affecting your ability to succeed as you hope.

I want to take you on a journey of what anger is and how to conquer it or use it for good. Everyone has their own beliefs about what anger is and if it's good or bad. For 20 years of my life, I lived in fear, and that caused me to feel angry about my life. I was hanging around angry people, and I felt like I had no control. I worked out that most people who are depressed have repressed anger inside, and that's why they feel that way.
