Releasing anger!

Hello Beautiful souls . My message today is releasing yourself of anger.

Feeling angry is a natural human emotion, and it's something we all experience. The key isn't to pretend we don't feel it, but rather to understand and manage it effectively.

Here are some tools to provide a fantastic roadmap for doing just that, offering specific tools to help you navigate this powerful emotion and prevent it from controlling your life to manage anger in a healthy, productive way:

1. Acknowledge and Talk About It

I highlight, one of the most powerful first steps: honestly acknowledging your anger. The simple act of saying "I am angry" gives you permission to feel the emotion without judgment. It's a courageous step that allows you to stop fighting against what you're feeling and start processing it.

Once you've acknowledged your anger, the next step is to talk about it with a trusted person. This isn't about yelling or ranting; it's about finding someone who will listen and hold space for you without judgment. This could be a friend, a family member, a therapist, or even a pet. The goal is to simply express your feelings out loud. This act of vulnerability can reduce the emotional pressure you're holding in, preventing it from building up to a point where you feel you might "snap."

2. Practice Mindful Communication

While it's important to talk about your feelings, I also want to point out the danger of letting that turn into yelling or ranting. This is where mindful communication becomes a crucial tool. When you feel anger building, it's a signal to pause and pull back.

Instead of pointing fingers or engaging in a shouting match,I suggest a better approach: focus on the hard facts. Once you have calmed down, look at the situation objectively. What are the key details? What exactly happened? By separating the facts from the raw emotion, you can find a different perspective. This allows you to explore the situation more calmly and find a solution without letting anger cloud your judgment.

3. Embrace Creative Distractions and Hobbies

Anger can often make us feel "stuck" in a negative loop, replaying the same frustrating thoughts. You identify that one of the best ways to break this cycle is through creative distraction.

Find a hobby, a past time, or a course to upskill yourself. These activities are powerful because they redirect your focus from the source of your anger to something new and exciting. Whether it's painting, learning an instrument, joining a meetup group, or simply getting lost in a good book, these distractions can help you tap into a different part of yourself and bring new enthusiasm and joy back into your life.

4. Find Your Joy and Practice Self-Care

My message ends with a powerful reminder that feelings are temporary and that we have the ability to create a better life for ourselves. This means actively engaging in self-care and finding joy.

Some of the tools suggested include:

• Eating healthy and exercising more. Physical activity is a proven way to reduce stress and improve your mood.

• Getting out in nature. Spending time outdoors can be grounding and calming, helping you to feel less "lost" in your emotions.

• Asking yourself, "What will give me joy right now?" This simple question puts you back in control of your happiness.

• Living in the present. Being mindful and focusing on one task at a time can prevent you from being overwhelmed by the past or worried about the future.

Ultimately, the message here teaches that managing anger isn't about avoiding it, but about transforming it.

By using these tools—from acknowledging your feelings and talking about them, to finding a different perspective and engaging in joyful activities—you can move from a state of being "at the ready to snap" to a place of inner peace and freedom.

What is one small step you can take today to apply one of these tools?

It’s not easy and can be done if we CHOOSE to stop being angry with the world! Take accountability for being reactive. Anger serves no one and hurts you more than the person you feel angry towards.
