Anger
A Beacon for Hope (If Attended To)
If you want to re-frame anger more positively, these next ~35 seconds of reading may be of interest to you...
Anger: otherwise known (and felt as)...
ā¢ Disappointment
ā¢ Rage
ā¢ Impatience
ā¢ Despondency
ā¢ Loneliness
ā¢ Betrayal
ā¢ Violation
ā¢ Injustice, and so on
These emotions share something in common...
They are triggered by situations that challenge our commonly held beliefs and expectations.
We might hit an unexpected obstacle, feel disrespected, or have unjust criticism thrown our way.
These can lead to emotions felt within the anger family.
Suppressed anger can lead to all kinds of mental, physical, relational, and lifestyle problems in the long run
So any experience of anger should be instead viewed as a calling sign.
A beacon to a better way of life.
A signal for change and transformation.
We need to first accept anger without judgement.
It doesn't have to be directed towards anything or anyone.
Instead of blaming another, turn inwards and reflect on which boundary has been crossed without you realising it.
This is vital!
From here, we can look to the future rather than dwell on the past, and spot these opportunities early.
Yes, this is difficult.
And yes, this is worth it.
Anger gives us the motivation to set healthy boundaries, assert our true needs, and give us motivation to act, as well as improving our communication.
Anger is a calling sign for you to become your true self.
It is not just a temptation towards destruction.
