Dear Friends

You have faced This emotion many times in your life. Sometimes you have to bear the harmful consequences of this. Yet it is very necessary to come out or to express this emotion. It is not good to suppress it. I am saying not to bottle up this emotion. The expression of all emotions is very necessary.

In the most general sense, anger is a feeling or emotion that ranges from mild irritation to intense fury and rage. Many people confuse anger with aggression. Torri A. Campbell said, “Aggression is the behavior that is intended to cause harm or injury to another person or damage to property. Hostility, on the other hand, refers to a set of attitudes and judgments that motivate aggressive behaviors.”

It is good to express your emotion before converting anger into aggression. Anger becomes a problem when it is felt too intensely. Feeling anger too intensely or frequently places extreme strain on the body. It is not good for your health. If your situations are not good or something wrong is happening with you express it. Tell them about that or discuss it with your family or relatives. You can take help from police support.

Once I was facing the problem of a Guard in my building and my anger was raising day by day I was feeling very bad then I discuss this with my building authority. And the problem was solved.

A man shoots the prime minister of Japan. Think, What would be his emotions? He may be suppressed his aggression in his mind or maybe another problem but his expression of anger was inappropriate. If you have a problem with someone tell him.

How anger affects

Anger affects the physical.

It affects your behavior.

It affects your emotions.

Effects on cognitive skills.

One misconception is that the way people express anger is inherited and can not be changed. Our facial expressions and our nervous system’s response when we become angry are inherited, but what we do next, our behavior is learned. Because people are not born with set, specific, ways of expressing anger. It is possible to learn appropriate ways of expressing anger.

Effective anger management involves:

Controlling the escalation of anger by learning assertiveness skills.

Changing negative thoughts.

Challenging irrational beliefs. Such as orthodox views.

Assertive behavior. The goal of assertiveness is to express feelings of anger in a way that is respectful of other people.

You can break the anger habit by becoming aware of the events and circumstances that trigger your anger and the negative consequences that result from that.

Record your anger meter. When and how much your aggression raised at 1–10 points. What are the general events and situations that lead to anger for you?

What are the emotions and feelings that occur along with anger- such as fear, hurt, and jealousy?

Monitor your emotions.

An important part of your anger control plan can be social support and breathing.

I hope this article would be helpful in your life.
