Often anger gets misdirected and makes a big mess! A healthy habit to develop is to notice your irritation, frustration, or anger, and then check in with yourself. What is really bugging you? Is it really the person or situation you are about to aim your wrath? We can do a lot of harm to our relationships and communities when we allow ourselves to “blow off steam” at someone or something that happens to be in the way when we feel mad. By doing your own work to figure out what you are mad about, you can then do your own work to respond to the situation in a healthy way. It is doable. And it is healthy.

"Anger can be a powerful tool to facilitate change. When there is an injustice, anger creates the energy to work to make change. Have you heard the term ""righteous anger""? It refers to the anger that comes when an injustice or evil has occurred. When you look back at history, postive social change has occurred when people have responded in righteous anger to a societal ill within their communities, and work to make the situation better. When we use anger in this way, it does not cause distruction, but promotes health.

Okay all you nice people out there, get ready for an uncomfortable truth.
Anger is a healthy emotion.
That's right. Anger is one of the basic emotions that humans are designed to experience. Too often, anger is mismanaged, and gets a bad rap because of the harm that mismanagement creates. It can be confusing to figure out how to experience anger without causing harm to our relatonships or to ourselves. We often either blast someone with our anger, or we stuff it deep down inside of ourselves. Both of these attempts to manage our anger create problems in our relationships. So we often believe that anger is somehow a bad emotion, and then we feel stuck with how to move through our anger.
In the next several days, we will explore how to move through anger without causing others or ourselves harm.

Civility is rooted in a belief that ALL people have value. That means we can be in relationship with those who think differently than us. It is not a threat to our worth when someone disagrees with us. From the lens of civility, it is more important to show respect for the person than prooving your point. Both your own and the other person's points of view matter. Nobody has to be shut down, minimized or devalued because they think differently than you. Likewise, you get to have your point of view, even if it is unpoplular. Civility creates room to be curious about someone else's ideas.
