Anger is a tough emotion. It feels so urgent and all-consuming. And we feel like we have to act on it. Right. Now.
And so, we do. We say something cruel or sarcastic. We yell. We slam doors. We become stone-cold silent and refuse to communicate. We replay the situation or interaction over and over. And we get madder and madder.
But even though our anger feels overpowering and overwhelming, we can avoid having a rage-filled, knee-jerk reaction. We can do better in our relationships, and we can take better care of ourselves.
