Seriously though.. I can see how the anger helps me see how important something is to me and gives me the passion and drive to go after it 👍 All emotions are so important and shouldn’t be suppressed. However, we have to learn (and teach our kids) suitable ways to channel the difficult ones, so we can live together in society and not hurt anyone ❤️
I love this.. a very interesting read and makes a lot of sense. I get really angry if someone/something gets in my way or stops me from doing something/moving forward.. physically or otherwise. You know the game kids play where they stand in the doorway, arms stretched across and say “what’s the password?”... drives me mad!! 🤣 I may have a problem 🤔🤣
Having a parent with a short-temper, subconsciously made me not want to be like them. However, I don’t think I had the tools to be assertive, so I just wanted to avoid getting angry. So like you, I abandoned my needs and feelings sometimes, in order to “keep the peace”.
Anger isn’t something to be scared of, it’s an emotion, it tells us things. It’s what we do with the anger that is the most important thing.
Yeah, I guess when I was growing up, I heard people say don’t act in Anger, I was hearing you have to calm down and the anger needs to disappear before you can/should act. But there’s so much intelligence in our anger when we’re able to see it clearly!

Yeah. And don’t hurt anyone includes hurting ourselves! Thanks for your comment, Eva!
Good point! 👍🧡
