  There are certain factors in our lives that triggers this emotion we call...anger. Let's take a look at how we can eliminate this and in return, keep our blood pressure down:


Owning Anger

Acknowledging anger and claiming it as our own behavior is a first step. It increases self-awareness and prevents blaming of others. Turning blame and attribution into "I" statements locates the anger where it actually is -- inside of us!

A Threat

When we perceive a person or event as a dangerous threat to our physical or psychological well-being, anger emerges in an effort to destroy or reduce this entity and to protect ourselves.

What is frightening about the perceived threat? What do I stand to lose? Diagnosing the threat frequently reveals that it is simply a difference in values, opinions or styles of behaving. After evaluating it more closely, it may not be a threat at all!

Renegotiate The Relationship

Plan or discuss together how similar situations will be dealt with in the future. What is the harm in sitting down and reasoning with each other whtether at home or on the job. Life is too short!

Acknowledge regret and exchange apologies. This will open yourself to good future transactions. Forgiveness is very powerful.
