Managing Anger

If you have  a heart beat I am guessing you have felt anger. Anger is hard to deal with, it brings up a lot and often times leads to more sadness, blame and more anger. I invite you to try this on for a moment……………

Anger is a gift. If you are able to be angry and then step back and ask your self, ‘what are my unmet  needs in this moment,’ you may find that the trigger for your anger is not truly the source of it.

 Stimulus———-interpretation/judgment…………..=………anger

                              Please try

Stimulus————- "What are my unmet needs————-ex: Love, acceptance,hope,trust etc…

It is hard to be angry when your brain is busy naming the unmet needs.

By doing this exercises we take responsibility for our anger and learn to name needs and acquire a greater self connection.

Hopefully a quiet smile, a more empathic space for yourself and others will blossom.
