Читать книгу Self Esteem Bible: Build Your Confidence Day by Day - Gael Lindenfield, Gael Lindenfield - Страница 38

Some injustices are undoubtedly worth getting furious over, but the majority of life’s minor frustrations are not. This may be true even when we think we have good cause to feel annoyed.

One very sound reason for not staying angry is that it can damage you. If you need a quick way to wind down and encourage yourself to forgive or forget, just remind yourself that the build-up of tension produced by anger can:

cause or exacerbate digestive disorders;

create hypertension;

raise our cholesterol levels;

damage and block our arteries;

aggravate heart disease;

exacerbate bowel disorders such as colitis;

increase our susceptibility to infection;

intensify pain;

create headaches and exacerbate sinus conditions;

contribute to inflammatory disorders of the muscles;

hinder our recovery from major traumas and illnesses.
