"Anger"...The double edged sword!

"Anger"......."Destructive Behavior" or "Creative Ally"?

How are you using your anger?
Do you deny that it exists for you?........ Or are you using it to create change in your life?

Anger has been given a bad rep. It definitely has the ability to be channeled into productive change. However, misused anger can result in depression, weight gain, and a multitude of other disorders.So how does one channel anger into productive change?

The first step is to recognize it when it surfaces.
Anger is activated by our thoughts. Maybe you are thinking about something from the past. Or you may have allowed something or someone to disrupt your natural flow of grace.

The second step is to set the intention to channel it outward instead of turning it inward.
"How"? (you ask). Take a walk, or do something physically, something that will stimulate your senses. The goal is to take your thoughts away from the counterproductive or destructive ideas, and redirect the adrenaline toward productivity.

Then explore ways to create something new from the experience. i.e. A rude driver may motivate me to leave a few minutes earlier which assuages my sense of urgency. Then I have removed the element of "Survival Mode" from the equation. Or, you can find a way to appreciate the creativity of others. i.e. Watching your favorite comedy show. It's hard to laugh and be angry at the same time!
Laugh it off!


I wish you Love & Light
