Anger is one of the basic human emotions, as elemental as happiness, sadness, anxiety, or disgust. And many things can trigger anger, including stress, family problems, and financial issues.
But the question is, is it wrong to be angry?
No. It's not bad to feel angry. Anger is a normal emotion.
So when is anger wrong? Anger is wrong when it is uncontrolled or unjustified, which often the case with the anger displayed by imperfect humans. It's true that we cannot always prevent ourselves from feeling anger, but we can control how we deal with it.
So now, let's discuss how to deal with anger. I'll give you 6 steps, and I hope it helps.
Let's start.
1. Recognize the danger of uncontrolled anger.
Some may think that unleashing their anger is a sign of strength. In reality, someone who cannot control his anger has a serious weakness. On the other hand, when we cultivate our ability to control our anger, we demonstrate true strength and discernment.
2. Deal with anger before it causes you to do something you will regret.
Notice that when we feel angry, we have a choice—we can choose to let it go before we end up "doing evil".
3. If tempers are flaring, leave the scene.
Although it is wise to settle differences with other quickly, both you and the other person may first need to cool down before you can discuss matters calmly.
4. Get the facts.
We can prevent unnecessary anger by considering all aspects of a situation rather than forming conclusions before we have all the facts. Remember that we can slow down our anger by being a good listener.
5. Pray for the peace of mind.
Prayer can help you experience "the peace of God that surpasses all understanding." His power in action can produce qualities that help to counter anger.
6. Choose your associates carefully.
We tend to become like the people we associate with. If we associate with people who are prone to anger, we will probably become like them.
Lesson: It is wise to control our emotions rather than to let them control us.
Anger..not my thing though
