Anger is an emotion, yes, it should be felt when the need arises but it will be regretful to allow it to control your utterances or actions.
SPEAK•LESS•WHEN•ANGRY
It is OK to get angry but unhealthy to become a slave to your anger. Most often, people end up living in regrets for terrible things they said to others in their mood of anger. Their defenses are always “I NEVER MEANT THOSE THINGS I SAID”. While this could be true, the big question is WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SAY THEM, IF YOU DIDN’T MEAN THEM? The answer is always "I WAS ANGRY/UPSET. Can those words be taken back? NO! Do they/ will they have a negative impact on the other person life? MOST LIKELY, YES!
One of the best ways to refrain from making utterances you are likely to regret is to avoid saying anything while angry, if you feel the provocation is so strong that you cannot resist speaking, walk away (from the person, persons, situation, environment etc .) for a few seconds, minutes or even days) to clear your head and take hold of the emotion before engaging in any form of talk/ discussions in respect of the matter. Note that this is not a licence to keep malice, for that in its entirety is PSYCHOLOGICALLY, MENTALLY AND MORALLY UNHEALTHY. If you are always in a hurry to speak, when angry, you will find yourself always apologizing even when you were right. Worst of it all is that you will end up destroying every meaningful relationship. #PositiveEmotionsNetwork #PEN #TruthHeals #Manageyouremotions #Beslowtospeakwhenangry #EQ #Relationshipcoaching #AbujaRelationshipcoach #Abujacounselor #AbujaEmotionsTherapist #Abujalawyerwithmultipleskills
