Blog Thoughts: Anger

I can feel everyone's head nodding as they read this post. Why is it we immediately turn emotions onto ourselves that do not belong to us? Is it easier? Is it safer? My guess is that it is the least confrontational. Therefore, we are wounding ourselves to avoid conflict and more pain. I understand that idea, but it is not ok. It is healthy to have emotions and to express our feelings in positive ways. Though, when embracing anger, we are only surrounding ourselves with a negative energy that simply can only do harm. What is another way that we can walk into the situation when someone doesn't do exactly as we had hoped, planned or asked? How can we walk in a healthy response to anger that will honor our feelings and protect ourselves?
