People experience anger every day. But what is anger? Anger is a feeling that involves our minds, thoughts, and physical bodies. It is a response to a situation that causes us to feel pain or hostility. Anger can be directed at another person, at an event or situation, or even at one’s self.

Most people admit to viewing anger as a negative emotion. Anger can cause negative outcomes, but it can also provide insight and motivation, if directed in the correct way. If we let our anger control us, it has the opportunity to spiral us downwards. However, if we take charge of our anger by avoiding negative actions, recognizing the points of distress, and by finding healthy and positive ways to confront that distress, we can find a sense of closure and peace.
