Why learning to control anger is important?

Why learning to control anger is important? You might think that venting your anger is healthy, that the people around you are too sensitive, that your anger is justified, or that you need to show your fury to get respect. But the truth is that anger is much more likely to damage your relationships, impair your judgment, get in the way of success, and have a negative impact on the way people see you.


Ø   Hurts physical health. Chronic anger makes you more susceptible to heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol levels, a weakened immune system, insomnia, and high blood pressure.

Ø   Hurts mental health. Chronic anger consumes huge amounts of mental energy and clouds your thinking, making it harder to concentrate; it can also lead to stress, depression, and other mental health problems.

Ø   Hurts your career. Constructive criticism, creative differences, and heated debate can be healthy. But lashing out only alienates your colleagues, supervisors, or clients and erodes their respect. What is more, a bad reputation can follow you wherever you go, making it harder and harder to get ahead.

Ø   Hurts relationships with others. Chronic, intense anger makes it hard for others to trust you, speak honestly, or feel comfortable-they never know what is going to set you off or what you will do.
