Anger tells us that something is wrong, and we better correct the situation, if it's humanly possible. It also reminds us that we have values, and that we are passionate people. You have to feel strongly about something to get angry about it. Your mind is screaming for you to "Do something!" And I don't mean pull out your .45 Magnum revolver. You're not going to make anyone's day with that. Maybe it's time to evaluate what's going on to make you so angry, and then do some problem solving.
In today's e-mail, Wings for the Heart Motivational Newsletter (http://www.wingsfortheheart.com), I came across five steps for striving to be happy. What would your five steps be? Well, I found step two rather interesting:
2.
Have a healthy outlet for your anger - you need to let your frustrations out.
Talk to someone if you must or go to the gym to pump out those happy hormones.
Studies show that people who exercise are more readily able to find solutions
to their problems.
That sounds like good advice to me, if you want to be happy.
Nevertheless, never forget: Anger is a gift, and it's what you do with it that counts--like all gifts.
