Being angry can become a self-destructive habit, causing anxiety and high blood pressure. Psychology expert Peter Quarry says a healthier way to manage anger is realizing that it is a form of energy. This energy is much better funneled into creative projects, planning to do something happy with colleagues or family, or accomplishing personal goals. Key Learning Points Constant anger has long-term consequences. Instead of letting your reactions become a habit, Peter Quarry recommends that you: Realize that anger is a form of energy. Harness that energy in a creative way to accomplish something. Don't waste valuable energy on anger. Do something productive e.g. clean up, writing, planning.
