I M ANGRY
I’m Angry – What Should I Do?
Anger is a universal emotion. It’s a natural response of the body and mind when we feel hurt, disrespected, or out of control. The issue isn’t feeling angry – it’s how we handle it.
🔥 What Happens When You’re Angry
When anger hits, your body goes into “fight or flight” mode , your heartbeat rises, breathing quickens, and muscles tense up.
While this reaction once helped humans survive danger, in modern life it often causes impulsive reactions: shouting, saying hurtful things, or shutting down emotionally.
1.How to Recognize and Manage Anger
Acknowledge your anger without judgment.
Say to yourself: “I’m feeling angry, and that’s okay.” Emotions aren’t enemies – they’re messages.
2. Pause and breathe.
Take a step back. Physical distance helps calm the body and clears the mind for better decisions.
3. Ask: “What is this anger trying to tell me?”
Anger often hides deeper feelings – sadness, fear, or the need for respect and fairness.
4. Express it safely.
Write it down, talk to someone you trust, or use creative outlets like art, music, or movement.
5. Forgive, but set boundaries.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean accepting bad behavior. It means freeing yourself from emotional chains.
6. Move your body.
Exercise releases tension and transforms anger into productive energy.
