Anger Management - How to Control Your Anger to Get the Most Out of Your Life Part 5

THE BENEFITS OF ANGER

It's important that you know you're not alone. Everyone experiences some type of
anger every day of their life. And the point of learning to manage your anger isn't
to suppress it and completely do away with it, but to learn how to channel it in a
positive way to improve your life and your relationships.

While uncontrollable rage and anger can have very negative effects on your life,
properly managed anger can also be very positive. For one thing, anger can be
very motivational. Think about it. When you're angry with your boss, you tend to
work harder to show him he was wrong. When you're angry with yourself for not
meeting a goal or accomplishing a task, you try that much harder to get it done.
Experiencing anger is also another way our bodies signal us that something is
wrong and that we need to take care of it. When we angrily snatch up our child
just as they're about to jet into the street, or we stand up to a bully for a friend or
colleague, or when we jump in and help that stranger who is being mugged.

These are all occasions when our anger has spurred us to action in an effort to
right a wrong. Many of the most important changes in society have come about because
someone was angry with the way things were and wanted to right the wrong. For
example, the Civil Rights Movement and Mothers Against Drunk Drivers and PETA.
If it weren't for outraged activists, we wouldn't have the laws we have that protect
children, the mentally ill, people of different religions and ethnic backgrounds, the
handicapped and disabled. And the list goes on and on of people who have been
helped because someone became angry and decided to channel that anger toward
a positive end rather than one of destruction and violence.

The next time you get angry and say or do something you'll feel sorry for, just
remember that anger does have it's place and don't beat yourself up about it.
Instead of wallowing in guilt and making yourself even angrier, take responsibility
for your actions and work on managing your anger instead of letting it manage
you.

wait for another chapter of anger management :)
