Anger and Consequences

Defining Anger

Anger is a natural response to situations where we feel threatened or frustrated. It is an emotion that ranges from mild irritation to intense fury.

Ways to express anger

One such way is internal. In this case, a person may become withdrawn or injure him/herself. Then there are those who express themselves outwardly. It could be in terms of verbal abuse or physical violence or both. Either way, if taken to extremes, can affect your health and the well-being of others.

Anger becomes a problem when:

1. Felt too intensely
2. Felt too frequently
3. Expressed inappropriately

When do you get angry ?

Try and identify the ‘red flags’. These are specific events/situation that touch on sensitive areas in your life, like parents or work or someone’s attitude. Thinking of a past squabble can cause feelings of anger. An irregular lifestyle with disturbed sleep and poor diet are also found to be sources of anger. Most often, anger is a mixture of emotions such as guilt, jealousy, fear, hur, frustration, anxiety or sadness. But because we are unable to identify these emotions, we express them as anger. At times, a vicious cycle is formed: one is angry because one’s needs are not met, and the intense anger makes one unable to meet those needs. And as the vicious cycle turns, one gets angrier and angrier.

How to deal with anger?

First, identify the source of aggression.

• Is it someone’s behavior or attitude?
• Are your expectations unrealistic?
• Are you a perfectionist in an imperfect world?
• Does your job come with a high stress package?
• Are you unhappy, worried/frustrated?

Secondly, understand that you can’t stop yourself from experiencing an emotion, including anger. You can, though, change the way you choose to react to it.

What is the next step?

Once you are aware of the source of anger, you have the power to stop yourself from letting off all steam and letting it escalate into aggression. Fear, difficulties in interpersonal relations, health issues and emotional disturbance. You may feel that expressing your anger to its fullest, instead of bottling up the emotions, will give you relief. But, this is partially true. This is a short term feel-good result, and is just an excuse to express anger when there are more sensible manners to deal with the situation.

Anger Management

Coping Strategies Immediate Dealing Techniques :

1. Take a time-out:  Move away from the situation, or stop the discussion. Once you have given it some thought and calmed down, you can come back and deal with it.

2. Use reason: Take a step back and tell yourself, “This will make things worse.” Even if a part of you remains angry, you still distance yourself from the emotion.

3. Take deep breaths.

4. Smile to defuse a tense situation.

Long Term Solution On Dealing with Anger :

• Ask yourself: Are your thoughts and feelings rational? Is this worth it?
• Think calmly, and tell yourself that ‘getting mad won’t help.’
• Exercise, listen to soothing music, read a book.
• Indulge in recreational activities.
• Focus on the positive aspects of a situation.
• Get proper nutrition and adequate sleep.
• Deal from situations assertively rather than aggressively.

Remember, what goes around come around. If you deal with others in anger, they are going to retaliate the same way.
