Why No One Ever Makes You Angry

Don't Get Mad, Get Wise

Anger is a natural human emotion, but it can be destructive if not managed properly. When we get angry, our bodies go into "fight or flight" mode, and we can become aggressive or defensive.

However, there is a better way to deal with anger. Instead of getting mad and acting out, we can learn to "get wise" and manage our anger in a healthy way.

How to Get Wise About Anger

Getting wise about anger means understanding what it is, why we get angry, and how to manage it in a healthy way.

1. Understand what anger is. Anger is a natural human emotion that is triggered by a perceived threat. When we feel threatened, our bodies go into "fight or flight" mode, and we may experience increased heart rate, sweating, and muscle tension.
2. Identify your triggers. Once you understand what anger is, you can start to identify your triggers. What situations or people make you angry? Once you know what your triggers are, you can start to avoid them or prepare for them.
3. Develop healthy coping mechanisms. When you feel angry, it is important to have healthy coping mechanisms in place. This could involve talking to a friend, journaling, exercising, or practicing relaxation techniques.

Getting wise about anger is an ongoing process, but it is worth it. By learning to manage our anger in a healthy way, we can improve our relationships, our health, and our overall well-being.
