"Sometimes your anger can be
so subtle that you don't
even realize you are
neglecting your health, your
goals/dreams, your family,
your house or your job.
The anger can be so
paralyzing that you put your
happiness on layaway waiting
until "someday" to enjoy the
gift of life.
Choose
your battles wisely. Don't
allow old hurts or
disappointments to keep you
from living with gratitude,
hope, joy, love, peace,
forgiveness, faith and
action.
The past has passed. Do you
have control over what
happened? What role, if
any, did you have in
participating in your own
misery? Are you willing to
let it go and grow? Why do
you want to hold on to it?
Is it necessary? Is your
anger triggering other
issues that need to be
addressed? Is your anger a
wake up call to take action
(i.e. abuse, self-esteem,
relationships, injustice)?
Anger is one letter
short from
danger.
Is your unresolved anger
causing you to lash out at
the wrong time and to the
wrong people? Is your anger
jeopardizing your health,
career and
relationships? Has
your anger robbed of sleep
and a sense of humor?
Are you tired of carrying
the pain? Do you want to
feel better? Do you want
revenge or do you want
renewal? Do you want more
peace or more pain?
Breathe! Breathe!
Breathe! Be totally present
in this moment, in this day,
in your body, in your home,
in your job, in your mind
and in your heart. Write
down on a piece of paper
what you are angry about.
Put the story behind your
anger into
perspective. Pray about it
and then either let it go or
take positive measures to
put out the consuming toxic
fire of anger."
