In the first part of this series, we talked through triggers and the coded messages behind angry outbursts. We also explained that anger, as an emotion, is normal. What is also normal is the consequence to losing your temper.

Uncontrolled, angry outbursts and behaviors have a laundry list of consequences. We probably know how anger can negatively impact relationships, but anger strengthens anxiety which, in turn, strengthens anger (and on and on). Our immune system will be weaker. Our lungs will suffer. In short, angry people can expect to die sooner. There's something else to be angry about.

Oh yeah... and Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating.
