Hello Hivers.
One of the most damaging emotions is anger. Anger can destroy our relationships, careers, and personal lives. If we don't know how to control our anger, it will control us. In this article, I want to explore what anger is and what causes anger. I'll also give several suggestions for ways to control your anger.
What is Anger?
Anger is a normal, healthy emotion that everyone experiences from time to time. When anger is expressed in a constructive, positive way, it can be a helpful emotion that motivates us to take action and make necessary changes in our lives. However, when anger is expressed in an unhealthy, destructive way, it can lead to problems in our personal and professional relationships, as well as our physical and mental health. It’s important to understand the different types of anger and how to express it in a healthy way.
There are three different types of anger: passive anger, aggressive anger, and assertive anger. Passive anger is when you repress your anger and don’t express it in any way. This can lead to feelings of resentment and bitterness, as well as physical health problems such as high blood pressure and headaches. Aggressive anger is when you express your anger in an explosive, violent way. This can lead to property damage, verbal or physical abuse, and legal problems. Assertive anger is when you express your anger in a direct but non-aggressive way. This type of anger expression is the most effective in communicating your needs and solving problems.

When Should You Get Angry?
When it comes to anger, there are a lot of different opinions out there. Some people think that you should never get angry, while others believe that anger is a perfectly natural and healthy emotion. So when should you get angry?
The answer to this question depends on a few different factors. First, you need to consider the situation that you're in. If something really bad is happening, then it's understandable to feel angry. However, if the situation isn't that serious, then getting angry probably isn't necessary.
Second, you need to think about how your anger will affect other people. If you're going to lash out in anger, then you could end up hurting the people around you, both physically and emotionally. Therefore, it's important to try to control your anger so that it doesn't get out of hand.
Finally, you need to consider your own personal well-being. Getting too angry can be bad for your health, both mental and physical. If you find that you're getting angry more often than not, or if your anger is starting to affect your quality of life, then it's time to seek help from a professional.

Why and How to Control Your Anger
Anger is a normal emotion that everyone feels from time to time. However, when anger is not managed properly, it can lead to problems. That’s why it’s important to understand why we get angry and how to control it.
There are many different reasons why people get angry. It could be because we feel like we’re being treated unfairly, someone has hurt us physically or emotionally, or we’re simply having a bad day. Whatever the reason, it’s important to find healthy ways to deal with our anger.
Some people try to bottle up their anger and ignore it. However, this can actually make things worse. Anger that is not expressed can turn into resentment and bitterness. It can also lead to physical health problems such as high blood pressure and headaches.
So what can you do to control your anger? Here are some tips:
Identify the triggers that make you angry. Once you know what sets you off, you can try to avoid those situations or be prepared for them.
Conclusion
If you're struggling to control your anger, it's important to understand what might be triggering it. Once you know what your triggers are, you can start to develop healthy coping mechanisms to deal with them. If you're not sure where to start, consider talking to a therapist or counselor who can help you develop a plan. Remember, everyone gets angry from time to time — the key is learning how to manage it in a way that doesn't hurt yourself or those around you.
You are so correct brotherly, For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.

Thanks for reading bro.
This is very true! Studies have linked negative emotions to having detrimental effects of physical health. It is simply not worth getting too angry!
Assertive anger. We liked that term.
When we deploy it we can detect what is really causing that basic emotion and we prevent our anger from having collateral and secondary effects, damaging our environment.✨
It seems that we will not be able to get rid of anger, so your last paragraph is a coherent, reasonable and logical invitation.💪
