I have a friend who talks about anger and says it’s a God given emotion. Anger is natural, and I think anyone can attest to feeling anger at least semi-regularly.

Anger is everywhere it seems. The internet is awash with posts and tweets that are full of opposing viewpoints that not only offend you, but that are unholy in their ignorance. How can you read online consistently and not be angry consistently?

And people… boy do they disappoint sometimes. Oh the expectations, how wrong you were to have them. Shame on you.

We all intrinsically know that excessive anger contributes to poor health.

But really, the way we deal with anger is what affects our health. We have options, and some options are more feasible depending on our personalities and our circumstances.

So how do we deal with the constant flood of people who piss us off? What’s the best way to handle anger? Can we make our anger work for us?

The way you deal with your anger has an effect on people liking you or not. You can push people away and they won’t come back if you don’t use skill in expressing anger. Anger can be ugly or attractive, depending on how and when you show it.
