Keeping Your Cool: Anger Management

If you find yourself getting angry often, then you have a health problem. It's been well documented, and generally accepted, that keeping your anger IN is unhealthy. Now, in a new twist, recent research shows that people who let their anger OUT, often suffer more symptomes and sickness than those who keep it all in. It also doesn't do a lot for one's relationships! If holding anger in AND letting it out are both bad for you, then what's the answer? "One way is to change our expectations," says Dr Merny Schwartz. "Stop telling yourself that it is awful or terrible that you have to wait on line, get caught in traffic, get treated unfairly, receive inferior service at a restaurant, etc.; they are merely unavoidable, if unfortunate, facts of life."
