EFFECTS OF ANGER

Anger is often viewed as harmful. It does not only affect the person feeling this anger but those around
him or her. As these feelings get stronger, changes occur in our body. Our faces turn red and carry a frown.
Our teeth are clenched, and our hands are closed tight. Our breathing becomes heavy, and this makes our
heartbeat faster. Our shoulder and neck muscles become stiff, and our blood pressure begins to rise. All these
things happen because our body is preparing for something. It is preparing for action. However, this action
does not have to be harmful. People are often guilty about feeling angry. But anger can be viewed positively.
Feelings of anger tell you that something is not right and that something needs to change. The challenge lies in
making sure that actions resulting from anger will help rather than harm. Expressing our feelings can help
others understand the source of our anger rather than fear its consequences.
