Anger is a part of our emotion. It's a natural phenomenon. Anger is a frequently misunderstood emotion. People confuse it with aggression, violence,they think of it as mostly unhealthy and they fail to recognize the times in their lives when their anger has been positive.At the same time, anger may even make people take wrong decisions in their daily life and may clash while in anger. Anger can be controlled and saturated in right direction as well.
√ Anger is not inherently bad
One of the most common misconceptions about anger is that it is bad for you. It's not. In fact, anger is a valuable emotion as it helps people confront injustice. It alerts us to the fact that we have been wronged or treated unfairly and it energizes us to respond to that injustice. Much like hunger motivates us to eat,thirst motivates us to drink, and fear motivates us to avoid things that are dangerous,anger motivates us to respond to confrontation and unfairness.
√ Anger can act as strongest motivation
"Anger is like Gasoline, if you spray it around and somebody lights a match, you've got an inferno, but if we can put our anger inside an engine, it can drive us forward."
When we feel that emotion that rules us up, we also feel motivated. At first, knowing how best to act is difficult, but in time the emotion of anger can drive us to create something innovated to solve a problem. While we can all relate to anger as a result of injustice or pain, we don't always realize that stress and taking on too much can cause angry outbursts. The body and the mind sometimes work together to tell us we need to cut back at work or find more time to relax. Motivating ourselves to enjoy life more and stress less is one of the best benefits of anger.
√ Two hormones adrenaline and cortisol are released when we are angry
These chemicals acts as strong boost to our body muscles for several minutes.
√ Anger teaches us about our ability to cope
We all experience anger from time to time, and even when we repeatedly feel frustrated and irritable our feelings may not indicate anything abnormal. Anger teaches us about our ability to cope, because we can easily and objectively look at ourselves and answer a few questions.Am I feeling angry? Sometimes we feel pressured or rushed and that leads to anger. Solving the underlying problem in this situation means planning and being more organized.
√ Anger is an emotion with physiological effects
We all understand the feeling of a rapid heartbeat, sweaty palms and burning stomach as our muscles tighten and we feel anger. The "fight or flight" system engages as we decide how best to deal with our anger.Expressing anger is always the best thing for you. When anger feeds off itself, your release of anger causes you more damage. Be wary of the cycle that wreaks havoc on your nervous system.
√ Anger can cause a variety of problems for people
Everyone knows that anger can be problematic for people. We have all read about cases of people who lost their temper and hurt someone or hurt themselves. However, people don't always recognize the scope of the types of problems that can emerge from anger. While arguments,damaged relationships, physical fights and risky driving are fairly common.We see several other types of consequences that emerge from maladaptive anger. Chronic anger has been known to lead to long term health consequences and finally anger can lead people to experience other uncomfortable emotions like sadness, fear or guilt.
√ Anger causes separation
Speaking of separation, what are the effects when you are angry? Anger pushes people away, scares them, makes them fight back or shut down. Relationships don't have room to breathe when they are defined by anger. "How could you?" "You shouldn't have...... "sound familiar?
Remember that anger or any reaction is not the fault of the other. If you are angry, look within yourself. Lovingly investigate what has been triggered in you, and your whole perspective on the situation will shift.
√ Chronic and uncontrolled exhausted anger can directly lead to heart attack or paralysis
When you just can't shake the anger and it feeds off itself for too long, you will either find yourself making yourself physically sick or your ourburst can land you in jail. Pressure in veins begin to rise with increase in anger. Smoking, poor diet and lack of exercise can exacerbate the effects of anger, putting you at an increased risk for cardio-vascular events.
√ Anger stops growth of new neurons in brain
Thus, growth of brain is weakened when a person is angry.
√ Humor can diffuse anger
Realizing that life is stressful is only the first step. Actually, the realization is more like lacing up the shoes than even taking the first step. The first step comes from the understanding that anger is an emotion that men and women feel differently and anger does not have to control us. The simple act of laughing at anger can diffuse it. In an argument one person can defeat the mounting anger with a joke. Wouldn't recommend a stand up comedy act to diffuse a dangerous hostage situation, but when your coworkers can't agree on a project, trying to diffuse the situation with office antics can help everyone get focused.
√ Start working out when experiencing anger
When we're angry, a large quantity of energy is stored in our muscles. To calm down, this energy needed to be released. Best remedy to release this energy is to start working.
All that anger, all that fear, all that negative energy take it to the gym and spend it there. These things make a great fuel,let these things nourish you and not the either way around.
√ Try to fill your stomach with healthy diet when you're angry
Hunger increases magnitude of anger exponentially.
AGGRESSION IS ANGER IN ACTION
Feeling the anger,and choosing to take a deep breath or choosing to verbally assault a cheating lover is the difference between anger as an emotion and anger in action. Aggression is when we act on our anger, and aggression can land us in jail. Men often feel like showing anger in public or in workplace is a sign of weakness. Hiding feelings of anger can cause outbursts at home in these situations. Accept when you feel angry and try to understand its root.
When anger must be released in a physical form, try mixed martial arts or boxing lessons to control the aggressive instinct. The benefit from anger in this scenario is that you can express your aggression and exercise at the same time. Sometimes, this physical exercise is what the body needed when the mind felt the anger emotion.
