More information about Anger:
What happens to your body when you feel angry?
When you experience anger your body goes into a fight
or flight response. Chemicals are released into your bloodstream to prime you up for the fight or help you flee the situation.
These powerful chemicals cause your body to undergo extreme changes. Breathing begins to increases and blood is detoured
away from the internal organs you don’t use in a fight and shunts it to your muscles for strength.
· Your pupils dilate causing your vision to sharpen
and your awareness intensifies.
· Your
rational mind is disengaged and your thoughts become distorted.
·
You are now in your anger attack mode and ready to fight.
· The fight or flight reaction gears you up for battle, however most
times there really is no battle to fight.
When
you face real dangers in the world, this fight or flight response is invaluable to your survival, but when you are in a constant
state of fight or flight day after day your health can begin to suffer. The powerful chemicals accumulate and make your
body pay a price for being in a constant high energy state.
