All of us get angry. However, some people flare up more often than others. It is a natural human emotion. Excessive anger does more harm to you than anyone else. By being angry, you end up punishing yourself for the mistakes of others.
Anger begins with stupidity and ends with regret. It drains you mentally and physically. The best thing you can do while angry is to remove yourself from the situation. Saying something while you are angry will only lead to regret.
Follow these 7 simple ways to manage your anger.
