Did you know that one in five Americans live with mental illness? Since 1949, May has been observed as Mental Health Awareness Month!

Whether you are working a part time job or knee deep in an established career, the deadlines, performance expectations and other responsibilities can be very stressful.

All too often, people grow up in homes with too much anger. Frequent anger is a problem, even if it isn’t violent. Any anger that conveys “You are not OK,” or “You are not safe,” is problematic.  All forms of anger become increasingly problematic with frequency and/or intensity.

It is important to recognize that anger, just like any other emotion, is a state of mind. Anger can present itself explosively, but we have the ability to choose how we respond to it’s presence.

I want to challenge you to try setting a boundary and seeing how it feels! It may be very uncomfortable at first, but it may also result in some positive changes in your life!

Anger is a normal human emotion that can be managed and controlled.
