It has been found that the traditional indicators of heart disease such as smoking, high cholesterol and high blood pressure account for about 50% of heart attacks. In trying to account for the rest the focus has moved to psychosocial factors - personality and behavior which give rise to stress hormones. Chronic stress, Type A personality, anger, depression and social isolation not only have a direct negative effect on the cardiovascular system but they also increase the effects of other cardiac factors. This article looks at two of these factors - depression and anger.

Anger Management Techniques
Categories: Uncategorized | March 31st, 2008 | by admin | no comments
GAIN CONTROL OF YOUR ANGER NOW WITH THESE STEPS:
1. Breathe deep and long breaths. Be sure to open your belly and breathe deep into your abdomen. You may not know it, but when you’re angry you’re panicking. This will help you to calm down.
2. Walk outside and look at the sky while you’re doing your deep breathing. This will help you to put things in perspective, and it can have a soothing effect.
3. Do some stretches. When you’re angry your body gets tense and rigid. The stretching will open up some of the tight areas of your body and get more oxygen flowing to your brain and help you clear your thoughts.

All of us at some time or other will have the odd angry outburst, as emotions run high it is quite normal to show anger. However, for some people anger is a controlling factor in their lives. For many years I was a very angry person and because of this the lives of those around me was a nightmare. After two failed marriages I realised that my problems were caused by my own angry outbursts. One day I took a long hard look at myself and decided that I needed help, I learned how to control my emotions and ever since my life has become much happier.

Why do we need anger? Consider the following reasons.
• To protect our rights
• To help us maintain an individual identity
• To wart off those who are bent on preying on the weak
• To mobilize against social injustice
• As a warning signal that our rights are being violated
• To remind us of the things that we hold most dear
• To be used as a tool to protect not to destroy or hurt
• To at times protect more vulnerable emotions
• To remind the strong that the week are not defenseless
• To energize us to make positive changes in our lives
• To give us the time to retreat, compose ourselves and live to fight another day
• To protect the vulnerable among us
• To detect danger and create a survivable plan of action
