Anger is an emotion that is expressed when one is disappointed, or provoked. Different people express their anger differently. Some are more extreme than others, depending on the level at which one’s anger reaches. Some people are easily provoked while others take quite some time before they get angry. But all of us need to exercise anger management.Anger can be a very dangerous emotion since it can cause a lot of damage if not well managed. The most dangerous deeds have been committed in a moment of anger. Most of those people who have been convicted of murder did that crime in a moment of anger. Many marriages are broken because of many things done in anger. We have seen a husband murdering his whole family and committing suicide and mothers murdering their children in a moment of anger, just to mention but a few. This proves that there is a great need to learn and also teach the society about anger management.There are several things that need to avoided in order to avoid anger from getting out of hand. Firstly, avoid taking any kind of action in this moment of anger. This is because when one is angry they are not in their right mind. Their level of reason is very minimal. Secondly, avoid any kind of talk. Talking when one is angry is not wise because one might say things that they might regret later. Words are very powerful because, although they cannot break a bone, they do break hearts and believe me, it is better to have a broken bone rather than a broken heart. Remember once a word is spoken, there is no way for it to be taken back. Choose your words wisely.For us to avoid taking any kind of action when angry, there are several techniques we can use. To avoid talking, some have even found taking a sip of water and holding it in their mouth for some time helpful. Remember the same mouth used for talking is the same one used for eating and drinking. Another helpful technique is that of doing some kind of exercise, like taking a walk. One can also read a book. Just do something that you enjoy doing and that works for you. It all depends on one’s personality.The truth of the matter is anger makes one’s reasoning go down. But remember do not keep that anger inside, it can turn to bitterness. That’s why it is advisable to solve the problem that brought the anger in the first place, when much calmer. But then when solving, sought out your words wisely and reasonably. Once calmer, you will notice that things were not as bad as they seemed.
