Letter #5: Anger as a Habit

Dear Amigo,

Let’s talk about anger. Well, really more like anger management.

In the book Anger Management, by Judy Dyer, we read, “If left unchecked, anger can become a habit.”

We don’t often think of anger—or anger management issues—as a habit. But I would take this a step further. Someone with anger problems could be described as having a collection of bad habits that involve both emotion and stress management.

In other words, a so-called short fuse is a systematic problem. But it’s also a fixable problem.

But that’s all for today.

Until tomorrow…

…and, always remember, stay crispy, my friend.
