When God inspired the writers of the Bible to instruct us to never let the sun go down in anger, he knew very well what that meant and how anger affects the human being and his quality of life. It is a fact that the average human being is weighed down by anger. The more pounds you carry, the heavier the weight imposed on you.
However, in the same Bible, the writer instructs us to forgive seven times seventy times a day; meaning four hundred and ninety times a day! This shows the importance of forgiving those who make us angry and forgiveness is the greatest tool you can use to manage anger in your life.

Art therapy has long been seen as a form of therapeutic process for emotional disorders and anxiety. Van Gogh kept some of his demons at bay through art. More recently, therapists have reported a high success rate with the use of creative and artistic expression to deal with anger, depression and pain.
Take for example Carla P., who was saved from her 15 year severe depression by art therapy. She claimed that taking the creative artwork sessions saved her life. Although medication provided some relief, it also brought on a 35 pound weight gain that made her feel old and dumpy. Then she started searching for alternate treatment avenues. On the advice of a friend, Carla signed up for an art therapy class, even though she did not believe initially that the session could help her.
