What is anger and how to control it
Anger can be seen as a powerful source of energy, much like an energy drink, but only if you learn to control it. Why do I compare anger to an energy drink? Because uncontrolled anger, when expressed outwardly, destroys relationships, damages reputations, and lowers the value of your personality. People start distancing themselves from you due to your temper. However, if you keep your anger inside and channel it positively, it can be an incredible motivator—a real energy drink, not like the kind you see in ads where someone takes a sip and suddenly flies; that’s just fantasy.
The real power of anger is when you internalize it and use it as a driving force to work harder on your goals. Anger helps you remember the reasons behind it. Whether someone insulted you, tried to make a fool of you, or betrayed you, this emotional response pushes you to focus on proving them wrong. You won’t be able to put in the effort unless you have some aggression, and that anger, when properly managed, makes you more determined and serious about achieving your goals. It urges you to work to prove something, and that mindset reduces the chances of making mistakes, leading to better results.
Now, how can you control anger? There are both physical and mental ways to manage it. Physically, if you feel angry while standing, sit down. If you're already seated, lie down. Mentally, remind yourself that you do not own the mind of the person provoking you—they are free to act as they wish. Keep telling yourself that their actions don’t define your worth, and you will not react impulsively. When you choose to remain silent, the person provoking you will eventually realize their wrongdoing. By keeping calm, you not only maintain your self-respect but also take control of the situation.
