Learn why you need to Manage your Anger!


If being angry means that you want to start hitting or abusing someone then it is important that you seek out a Specialist who is trained in this area as soon as possible.

What is Anger Management?

Well, it is a bit of a misnomer. Managing anger shouldn't be the ultimate goal, it is only a quick fix, a temporary solution.

The long-term solution is to move beyond managing our anger to minimizing it!

Sometimes anger is good, it is a catalyst for change. We get angry, we complain, but nothing seems to change so finally we decide that we have to do something about it.

Anger becomes a problem when we can’t control our outbursts... when it affects our relationships and our careers.

You know you need Anger Management when you no longer trust yourself.

Most anger is deeply rooted because it has built up over a lifetime. We bring to each new circumstance a lifetime of disappointments, frustrations and perceived wrongs that have been done to us.

Our old memories and perceptions distort our view of a new situation and cause us to overreact most of the time.

When we have had time to cool down, many times we feel embarrassed or ashamed at our behavior. But each time it happens we feel unable to control ourselves.

Then there are those of us who experience “silent anger”.

Outwardly it seems like everything is fine, we are angry but we are controlling our anger by not showing it.

This can be very positive if the anger dissipates quickly. However, many people hold this anger in and it builds into resentment.

It fuels our desire for revenge and for the ill will of another.

We begin to conspire; it consumes most of our thoughts.

This “inner fury” is possibly more dangerous than letting it out and blowing off steam.

Why?

When we are angry our heart rhythms become erratic, we use up more of our vital energy and cause wear and tear on our system.

In addition, our perception and our higher thinking skills are inhibited, meaning that we can’t think as clearly.

Hazardous to our health chemicals are produced such as cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine. Long-term exposure to these chemicals weakens the immune system leaving us susceptible to disease.

When we bury our anger deeply, below our conscious level of awareness; what we are actually doing at a biochemical level is blocking our cellular receptors.

These stuck emotions are obstructing the all-important flow of molecular information necessary for vital processes of the body/mind.

When we feel angry, frustrated, sad etc… our body is being created based on these harmful chemicals.

It is also widely accepted that psychological stress caused by feelings of anger is a major contributing factor to heart attacks, high blood pressure and ulcers.

Anger can be debilitating for many people and rightly so.

But there is hope, your past behavior doesn’t have to dictate your present and future behavior.

It just takes some training in awareness and appropriate action.

I have devoted most of my life to find solutions on how to improve our lives!

A better life for you and your Employees can start now if you wish.

Re: What exactly do you need to start a business - Hi phummy, I’m not sure what options you have in Nigeria or maybe you already know what you want to do but like any business, it’s all about supply and demand. Is there an interest in the product or service you are selling? Have you researched the market, perhaps approach other competitors to see what they have to offer, do you have any experience in the field. When you have researched your niche and decided what you want to do then it’s time for your business plan. Set your budget (very important) and stick to it, will you be working from home or an office and what equipment/stationary will you need. Manage your time effectively to concentrate on things that will push your business forward. Set realistic goal’s and stick to your plan.
