,,Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.'' (Aristotle)

WHAT IS ANGER?

    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 an urgent feeling, which can arise quickly and which feels it demands us to act, or a slow burn which constantly affects our thoughts. It is often physically as well as emotionally uncomfortable, as it has physical as well as psychological components.

    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.

    The way we manage anger is something learned through life, and is affected by our experiences. However, human beings are constantly capable of learning better strategies to deal with anger, to use anger more positively and to both recognise and avoid, its possible harmful effects.

WHAT WE CAN DO TO CONTROL OUR ANGER?

1. TAKE A DEEP BREATH:

    When we feel that we angry, we most begin to breathe deeply. This allows us to get more oxygen. It also contributes to the relaxation and relaxation our muscles.

2. COUNT TO 10:

       Counting gives you time to cool down, so you can think more clearly and let your first impulse to react pass. Impulses are urges to act without thinking. When you are angry, you should save ourselves time by counting up to 10 without any behaviour or talking.

3. TAKE A DEEP BREATHING AS CONTINUING TO COUNT:

          Counting up to 10 hepls us think right. If you take a deep breath during this time, our muscles relax.

4. TAKE A TIME OUT:

      A few moments of quiet time might help you feel better prepared to find solutions. If you are involved in an argument and you feel anger taking over, suggest that you both take five minutes, perhaps have a glass of water or a cup of tea, and then talk.
