The Dangers of Old Anger

Does the guy who cut you off on the freeway three years ago still raise your blood pressure? Do you still hold in mind the “bad boss/supervisor”? Does the college professor who gave you an F still raise the anger demon? Are you still angry at your mother who abandoned you at birth? If you answer yes to any of these questions, or if you hold anger from experiences long past, you may be suffering the effects of old anger. Just recently model Naomi Campbell disclosed that she too struggled with old anger over being abandoned by her father as an infant.

Old anger is toxic. It tends to create an attitude of negativity that can pervade how one interacts with the world. It locks away vital energy that can be used in bettering our lives. It creates isolation--after all who wants to be around people who are always angry. Therefore I want to suggest that anger management is not only about seeking help when you have an “incident.” It also involves learning strategies to improve your attitude and outlook on life. Don’t let OLD ANGER rob you of your quality of life.
