Some people say anger is a healthy emotion. This is probably one of the greatest misunderstandings of many when it comes to negative feelings. Recent studies have shown that brief anger spikes harm arteries and is a heart risk; chronic anger fuels heart disease, plus mental issues like anxiety and depression.
Frequent or recurrent irritability impairs blood vessel function for up to 40 minutes per episode, raising the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes over time.
Chronic moodiness is linked to higher cardiovascular morbidity, weakened immune function, hypertension, and other stress-related conditions.
Anger, irritability, and moodiness are stress conditions that also lead to mental health concerns, which are associated with increased anxiety and depression, psychological distress, mood disorders, and poor impulse control. They exacerbate stress and can worsen conditions like PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Not to mention, rage and wrath lead to violence.
Consequently, anger, as well as irritability and moodiness, is an abnormal and unhealthy emotion, especially when experienced daily.
Negative feelings are mentally, physically, and spiritually exhausting and unhealthy. These conditions hurt the self more than anyone else.
Some further misunderstandings about angry emotions are that people believe they have no control over them, that others are to blame, and that they're necessary. These mistakes are the lies the world teaches us.
Anger, irritability, and moodiness are inessential reactions and habits. Everyone gets angry at different frequencies and to different degrees; some have rare, legitimate reasons, while others keep looking for justifications. Some people remain temperamental and are ruled by their disposition.
Anger, moodiness, and irritability stem from a fear implanted in a person, most likely at a very young age.
If you have a consistent negative emotion, you likely picked it up somewhere along the way in your life, thinking that this is the way to behave in certain circumstances or with certain people, through example and reinforcement.
Subsequently, somewhere in the midst of living your life, it became a pattern of reacting, stemming from an untold fear within, because practice makes perfect.
The opposites of negative emotions are patience, peace, and serenity, which also come from within.
