Negative emotions like anger kick us into our survival mode, as if notifying to our body, “we are in dangerâ€. There occurs a physiological change that takes place in our body to prepare us for fight or flight. These physical responses disrupt the natural flow of energy in our body – affecting our heart, immune system, digestion and hormone production. A negative emotion is therefore toxic to the body and interferes with its harmonious functioning and balance.
Aren’t your physical and mental health worth more than the mental pressure you are voluntarily inserting into yourself? Is it worth it to react out of spiteful emotions and hurt feelings, so that we might temporarily satisfy our pride?
Anger also clouds our judgment and we become consumed with problems and pain. Instead of freeing ourselves from the self-inflicted pain, we make irrational, unreasonable, regretful and hurtful decisions!
So, who is going to win? You or Anger?
