Anger Can Be Useful

Anger is useful when it serves as warning that something's just not sitting right with you. You may be facing a situation where it's necesary to set boundaries to prevent another person from taking advantage of you. You may need to set limits on how much you are able to do to help someone, because you're feeling depleted yourself. Whatever the source, your anger can strengthen you so that you are able to assert yourself or face an upcoming conflict.

Once you receive an anger alert, stop and pay attention to it. Identify what exactly has triggered your anger. What exactly is the issue? Think about how you might be able to address the issue rather than allowing your anger to get out of control. Taking time to think can help you to resolve the problem or situation more rationally and more effectively.
