Running a business is stressful. Running a business and juggling other daily life tasks as many of us do takes stress to a whole other level. This results in a lot of emotions and unwanted anger. We don’t always mean to get angry, but more often than not certain life events happen when we don’t want them to. We want things to go one way, but they usually go in a direction that creates chaos and drama. How do you deal with your anger when it rears its ugly head? Do you work out; vent to a friend; have an after-hours cocktail? Anger is a powerful word! Why?! Because anger is a strong emotion that takes a lot out of us. Think about it, when you’re angry you can think of nothing but the situation that’s making you furious. Imagine how much brain power you are giving to that one problem!
