Whether it's that frustrating driver in front of you who turns without signaling, or that the snow plow blocked your car in yet again with a mini-mountain range of ice chunks, we all get angry sometimes. And it's a perfectly healthy emotion designed to help us know when something is wrong and let others know how we feel. But unfortunately, many of the ways we deal with anger are not so healthy.

The most common negative ways most of us deal with anger are: withdrawing or moping, denial and suffering in silence, lashing out, using sarcasm, or even feeling guilty.
It may not seem like the most pressing issue in your quest for healthier living, but unmanaged and suppressed emotions can wreak havoc on both your physical and mental well-being. Depression, insomnia, and even physical aches and pains can result from misdirected and/or unmanaged anger.
So how should you deal then? Learn to recognize the physical and behavioral cues that signal you are angry, identify exactly what it is that is making you upset, and validate/accept your own feelings. Try listing all the possible solutions, and think out what you're going to say ahead of time -- remembering to avoid laying blame and focus instead on getting your feelings across and finding a resolution.
