Do you know?
One of the common reasons for most physical and mental diseases is ….. Anger.
Yes, you read it right….
And if you want to live a happy healthy life, do one thing…..
JUST
Tame your anger and you will witness impeccable change in your mental and physical health.
Before discussing further, let’s have a brief view of what anger is.
According to Charles Spielberger, PhD, a psychologist who specializes in the study of anger,
Anger is “an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage”
It is good to express anger or disagreement over issues and events in a healthy way, as we are all humans and have certain perspectives about certain things and events. We react uniquely to a single event. Thus showing our angriness is right but it is destructive when anger converts into permanent rage. When you don’t have control over yourself and easily get manipulated by situations and people. When you’re raging, shouting and annoying others, you’re doing more harm to yourself than others.
Because like any other emotion, anger has a direct effect on our physical and mental health. When anger is volatile, it changes into a direct fight and harming others, but when it is repressive, it is eating you like a bug inside bite by bite and you do not even realize it.
Besides anxiety, depression, and irritability, don’t forget, that aggression has a direct relation with heart attack, high blood pressure, and diseased lungs.
Now would you want to be in control of your anger or you’re strong enough to tame it anyway?
Yes! You will be stronger enough to control your anger just after practicing some techniques.
