Anger is a natural reaction to unwanted, unexpected or fearful circumstances. The feeling originates in the primitive part of the brain which is concerned with survival. Acknowledging when we’re angry is an absolute requirement for maintaining a healthy emotional life, but acting from anger doesn’t help. In fact, it almost always makes us feel physically taxed and emotionally regretful. The simple act of taking a few deep breaths can give us the time we need to relax into the more evolved part of the brain where we can reassess and respond…
Reasonably, rationally and respectfully.
