Recognize and deal with angry feelings
Prof. Dr. Jorge R.

It’s normal to feel angry from time to time. But when we don’t channel those feelings productively, they can spill over into other aspects of our life.
? Know the warning signs of anger in yourself so that you’re able to control and manage your anger. These include feeling frustrated, irritated, or annoyed; clenching your fists; or muscle tension, especially in your neck, back, or jaw.
? Take a slow, deep breath when you find yourself getting angry. Count to five. Exhale. Repeat.
? Address problems early on so that they don’t worsen and become harder to resolve.
? If you could use help managing angry feelings, or if you are living with a person who gets angry often, speak with your physician or a leader from your faith community.
