Anger Management is the New Anti-Aging Remedy

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but it's my anger that will kill me. This is what a new study seems to say. Going to bed angry will take years off your life. In addition, anger will age your skin faster too.

Anger management is the new anti-aging anecdote, and better yet, it costs nothing. Recently, the University of Michigan study proves that going to bed angry could reduce mornings left in your lifetime.

The study, led by Earnest Harburg, studied four types of couples:

Wife suppresses her anger, while the husband expressed his

Wife expresses anger and the husband suppresses his

Both spouses expressed anger

Both spouses suppress anger

The spouses who both suppressed anger, died in double the numbers of the couples who constructively communicated the anger before going to bed.

Never go to bed angry. Here are constructive ways to deal with anger before bedtime.

Communicate to Dissolve Anger

Sometimes in an argument, we forget that there are three sides to every story: yours, theirs, and misunderstandings. Exchanging thoughts and feelings will allow both parties to feel better and allow both parties to understand the other's side of the argument. Sometimes, just knowing that someone is listening is enough to calm some anger.

Disrupting another person can have profound effects. Interruptions create more anger, adding more tension to the original argument. Allow the other person to complete a thought. Remember, a complete thought is a full sentence in a grammar world, but in an argument, everyone deserves a paragraph. This isn't much to sacrifice for someone you love. In addition, disrupting a conversation will never lead to a mutually agreeable resolution. This is because the person who is disrupting is controlling the argument, not allowing a healthy mutual solution to the problem.

Listen Carefully to the Anger of Another
