Angry people—we fear them, unsure of when they might blow. Yet at the same time, we have this idea that anger equals strength. While it can certainly bring us to a place of action, is that really the best motivation? There is no shortage of resources and support groups for anger management. It pervades our culture. But the thing is, to really get a grip on anger, you have to look in the mirror and stop blaming others. Our emotional triggers are clues to how we treat ourselves: we didn’t set boundaries, we accepted poor treatment from others, we didn’t value ourselves. Why do we do this? It just makes us powerless. Learn to improve the quality of your life by getting at the root of your anger and living a more peaceful existence. To help with this, I’ve created a free resource: Controlling Anxiety, Anger and Resentment in 3 Steps. Download it at tracycrossley.com/controlanger.
