ANGER - The Great Divider
We all experience it, and all it usually does is mess up a relationship. So what do we do about it?
Well first, here's what NOT to do.
a) Don't repress it. That will only cause dis-ease.
b) Don't express it. That will only cause disharmony
So what's left?
Well, here's something that works for me. Transform it. Anger is a powerful energy, so it usually takes physical movement to release it. It's amazing how much work you can accomplish with that energy. Clean your house. Pull weeds or rake leaves. Go hit a tennis or golf ball. Drag out that exercise equipment you've stashed away.
When the anger has finally dissipated, you'll feel good about what you've accomplished, and then you can start doing the real work of analyzing why you were really angry. It's rarely for the reason that caused the flare up. Keep peeling back the layers, by asking yourself questions. (i.e. Was I really this upset because someone forgot to pick up the mail or you fill in the blank. Why was this simple task so important to me? etc.)
And when it's all over, know you've done your best and just love yourself.
