Anger is a normal emotion just like getting sad or happy. However, anger can begin to impact our lives negatively when it gets out of control and turns into violence, aggression, bullying and constant arguments.
Not effectively managing our anger can rob us of positive relationships, keeping a job, feeling peaceful, achieving optimum health and ultimately rob us of our happiness in life.
Anger could be something you’ve had an issue with most of your life, perhaps only recently it has spiraled so out of control that you know now is the time for change.
You find yourself frustrated about a lot of things. You tend to focus on all the bad things of a situation. You most likely find yourself shouting or putting someone down as a way of releasing your anger. Your mind is always racing with negative thoughts and you just can’t seem to catch a break.
Anger issues are frustrating and unhealthy.
Research shows that anger can increase people's chance of developing coronary heart disease. It can also lead to stress-related problems, such as insomnia, digestive problems, and headaches.You might be experiencing it at a severe or mild level; whatever it may be- it robs you of your chance of happiness and inner-peace.
Anger is like an iceberg. Beneath it, lies many other possible issues that could be going on which is masked by the anger, such as; guilt, fear, past trauma, depression or anxiety.
