Part of the spectrum of emotions and sensations we possess within us can contain anger, nervousness and rage.
Anger is an emotion that arises when something does not work as we think it should or as we had planned. It can manifest itself in the face of a provocation, or in the face of an unforeseen scenario. It can appear as an impulsive reaction, which we find difficult to control. The Lord always shows us with examples that the best thing to do is always to try to remain calm, to treat with respect and love our neighbor and all the people around us.
With this premise and this basis, every time we face this type of situations or scenarios that trigger these negative feelings, let us remember and take up a prayer as a mental alarm that makes us really feel where we are.

Anger arises from a basic, instinctive function of people, which is intended to respond to a threat. Not being able to handle anger correctly not only affects social and personal relationships, but also generates harmful consequences for spirituality.

Today you will learn some ways to control anger to take care of your physical and spiritual health. There are a few techniques that can help you control your angry impulses. First, there is the famous 10-second rule.
When you find yourself in the moment of greatest tension, take time to respond. Do not speak without thinking, as hurtful words may come out of your mouth that have negative consequences and go against respect for God.
Take a deep breath, step back for a few seconds if necessary, and come back with a less visceral and more rational response to the conflict.
Secondly, breathing and prayer is fundamental. Breathe consciously, relax your muscles, say a prayer or recall in your memory a verse from the Holy Scriptures that aligns you with your Faith.
Finally, talk to the Lord. Our Savior will never judge you. You can share your own experiences and frustrations in prayer and you will automatically feel the release of that negative energy. The key to everything lies in learning to forgive. As Jesus did and as He taught us on the cross.
