Anger is beneficial to relationships
As the saying goes - the heart grows fonder with time and distance (or something like that), there is also a saying that goes something like this - arguments and fights grow people closer together. This saying (unlike the other one in my opinion), is very true in the sense that when you argue with your significant other, you are teaching and learning each others’ boundaries. When you keep your frustrations and anger inside, all you are doing is letting your partner know that what they are doing is okay and so they continue to do whatever it is that makes you angry. This can be very detrimental to any relationship. So, if you use your anger to solve problems other than vent and rage, then a strong and close relationship is what you will have

Self-happiness refers to being completely satisfied with oneself and is generally associated with self-confidence and high self-esteem.

Everywhere, we see self-help books that are titled “how to get what you want through a positive attitude” or “Learn positive behaviors and say goodbye to anger and sadness forever.” What these self-help books are trying to do is brainwash your mind into thinking that the only way to grow personally and become better is to act upon positive emotions and be positive. This is false because as a person, we need to feel our negative emotions

People who develop or improve self-motivation skills gain motivation internally rather than externally. What this means is that if you possess high emotional intelligence in terms of motivation, you are more likely to feel inspired by doing what you love and overcoming your fears if they stand in the way of your aspirations and beliefs. External motivation means that people are only driven if they are doing something for wealth, respect, or fame - i.e. external reasons - rather than personal growth or achievement.

When you accept the good with the bad, you will feel less stressed and more in control of yourself and with your life.

Happiness, although not permanent, is a more stable state and lasts longer than pleasure does.

Don’t overthink, just do. After

The best thing to do to take care of this is to accept that what is done is done and the future is untold, so all that matters is what you can do right now. What you do in the present can help

you learn from past mistakes and alter your perception of what will happen in the future.

Another definition of emotions according to William James is, you feel what you feel based on the physical happenings in your body such as heart rate, breathing rate, sweating, and hormone levels. In this point of view or opinion, happiness, sadness, anger, regret, etc. are not judgments based on your situation but about how you react to (or feel about) your bodily sensations.
