Anger is a natural human emotion, but its effects can be far-reaching and long-lasting. Like the holes left in a fence after removing the nails, the impact of our anger can leave lasting marks on the people around us.

So, how can we become aware of and manage our anger to minimise its negative impact on others? First and foremost, we need to cultivate self-awareness and recognise our triggers. Understanding what makes us angry enables us to take proactive steps to manage it effectively.

Secondly, we need to develop healthy coping mechanisms for anger. This could involve deep breathing exercises, practising mindfulness, or engaging in physical activities to channel our energy in a positive way.

Additionally, we need to communicate openly and honestly with the people affected by our anger. By expressing our emotions in a calm and respectful manner, we can minimise the potential harm caused by our outbursts.

Remember, you can take the nails out of the fence, but you can’t take out the holes. By cultivating self-awareness, developing healthy coping mechanisms, and practising open communication, we can manage our anger in a way that minimises its negative impact on others.
