Hi friends! Welcome back to the blog.

Today’s topic is my favorite-not being sarcastic at all. It’s my favorite because our world is dealing with so much anger and the aftermath of it. I don’t have to tell you this. You probably suffer at the hand of “anger” or have witnessed a loved one, or a complete stranger, become victim to anger.

Okay, wait a minute. We are not going to do blaming of any sort here. Remember: this is a judgement free zone. So let’s take a look at anger as if we are discussed what 2 + 2 equal.

In this blog I will share with you how to address anger. I’ll mention 2 ways people tend to deal with anger, but you want to adapt # 3 if you want a healthy relationship with anger. Yes, you heard right. I want you offer you an opportunity to explore a healthy relationship with anger.

Before you give up on me, hang around just a little bit longer.

1. One way you can deal with anger is to give in to it. You can shout, scream, throw thing, act out completely as if you are completely helpless. This is not what I am encouraging you to do by the way.
2. A second way you can deal with anger is to resist it. You put on a happy face. Your blood pressure goes up. You look for ways to release that anger through addictions of many kinds. You build yourself a lifestyle and a mindset that poisons you from the inside out. I am not asking you to go this route either to be clear.
3. Route # 3! this is the route I want you to take. The third way to deal with anger is to FEEL IT! Let it be there but DO NOT react to it. Easier said than done. I know that very well, but I want to ask you to stay and hear me out before you close the tab.

The best way to feel the anger is to find yourself a place where you can be with the person inside of you. Take a moment to stop and think about what the energy of anger feels like inside your body. Locate it. Where is it? Is it in your head, your heart, your stomach, your throat? Stop and pay attention to the sensations in your body to locate anger.

Once you’ve located it, sit with it. Stop and sit. Let it swirl and twirl around in a rage. Just sit and witness it. Describe what it looks like. What does it feel like?

Now step outside of your head. Congratulations! You’ve successfully processed anger. You’ve made friends with it. You are no longer afraid of it. It can show up at your doorsteps any time of day or night and you’ll be able to just sit and witness it.

With practice, you can have dominion over anger. With practice, you can overcome anger. With practice, you can befriend anger. With practice, you (and others around you) will no longer fear the anger that shows up at your doorsteps.

With Practice….

Now go and practice!
