The importance of tending to our emotions and regulating anger

Anger is a natural emotion that signals a need for change. It often arises when our expectations or needs are not met. Acknowledging and understanding the early signs of anger can help us respond appropriately before it escalates. Recognizing the physical manifestations, such as tense jaws or raised shoulders, can serve as a cue to address our emotions. It is also important to distinguish between pure anger and the mixing of other negative emotions, like sadness or fear. Practicing compassion, both for ourselves and others, can help regulate and transform anger into more constructive responses.
