The emotion of anger is a perfectly normal emotion. It is healthy when controlled. Human beings rarely act physically expressing the anger. We have language hence we use verbal abusing and then only physical rage is followed if anger is not controlled. It can lead problems with family members and work place.
Biological and physiological changes accompany the emotion of anger. Your heart rate and blood pressure go up when you are angry. Additionally your adrenaline levels, noradrenaline levels and energy hormones escalate.
A person could be angry at a specific person or event or anger may be caused by worrying about the personal problems. Bad memories and events can trigger feelings of anger. Naturally anger is expressed aggressively. So there are fights and hence we defend us if we are attacked. We can not physically attack every person or object that irritates us or annoys us. Social behaviour normalities should be adhered to.
There are three main approaches to anger expressing, suppressing and calming. When you express your feelings in controlled manner it assertive manner and it is healthiest way. It is difficult to do this. Identifying your needs and how to get without hurting others will need to be known. It means treating yourself with a level of respect and of course others also.
When anger is suppressed, it is not allowed outward expression and it can turn inward on you. It may cause hypertension, high blood pressure or depression. If anger is not expressed it can create other problems. It creates either passive or aggressive behavior which fails to build successful relations with others.
Finally if you can calm down inside your responses internally heart rate, blood pressure and outward behavior will be controlled. Someone or something will be hurt should these techniques be unsuccessful. Anger can be controlled by simple techniques. Relaxation tools such as deep breathing can help calm down angry feelings. Breathing deeply and repeating soothing words like "take it easy" will enables you to reduce angry feeling. Practice this technique daily. Slow yoga and meditation is another way to relax.
Alternatively change the way you think. When people are angry the generally curse, use colorful language or swear. When we are angry our thinking is exaggerated and extra dramatic. If we replace it with more rational thoughts it will help us. You have to remind yourself that getting angry is not going to solve anything.
That makes you feel no better but even worse. We try to find out solution of our problems but sometimes that is not possible. As a result we get angry. Instead of that we have to learn to face the problem. When we are angry we come to conclusions which are often wrong. A way to solve some problems is to slow down and think about what we are going to say, or do, before doing or saying it.
