Anger is part of life — just like memory, happiness, and sadness.If not handled well it can be very destructive and may lead to numerous negative consequences like being physically injured,ending up in jail,losing loved ones or feeling guilt or shame. In this article I will teach you how to manage your anger effectively by focusing on the positive.
Develop an awareness
This is the first and very important step. Clinical psychologists Patrick M. Reilly and Michael S. Shopshire suggest that ‘’To break the anger habit, you must develop an awareness of the events, circumstances, and behaviors of others that “trigger” your anger. This awareness also involves understanding the negative consequences that result from anger. For example, you may be in line at the supermarket and become impatient because the lines are too long. You could become angry, then boisterously demand that the checkout clerk call for more help. As your anger escalates, you may become involved in a heated exchange with the clerk or another customer. The store manager may respond by having a security officer remove you from the store. The negative consequences that result from this event are not getting the groceries that you wanted and the embarrassment and humiliation you suffer from being removed from the store’’
