Doing The Thing with Anger Now
Hello, February 11, 2012
When someone messes with you, you get mad. Anger is designed to help you get back to feeling good again / to solve problems.
Expressing anger in a healthy way is about feeling valuable enough to stand up and say "Hey, treat me right!", or to get fired up enough to start solving a challenging problem that is in your way.
We are here to be creatively / successfully human.
New anger helps us be this in the moment.
Here are the 2 main lessons:
~ growing into knowing your worthiness
~ standing up for yourself
As you grow into knowing your worthiness, it is easier to treat yourself with respect. As you do this it becomes easier to stand up for yourself. Others start treating you with more respect. It becomes a beautiful cycle. Try it!
Is it possible that instead of bullying being the problem, the problem is shared by those who can't productively use their anger to stand up for themselves.
And, it is not just the kids who need to learn this. We all have these challenges.
Kids deal with bullying at school. You may deal with bullying at your work or even in your home.
Since most of us have not been trained in how to use our anger in a healthy way, small steps may be needed to re-raise yourself to do this. Practice with yourself or with a friend / role play before you tackle the intimidating people or problems in your life. Go back and review earlier blogs in this series. It is understandable to feel fear even thinking about standing up for yourself in tough situations. If too much fear is in the way, start with releasing the fear to find your courage. What would you do if you weren't afraid to do it?
We will see a decline in everything we consider "bad", from bullying to Cancer, as we get to know our worthiness and learn to stand up for ourselves.
What are your thoughts on anger?
If you had a chance to attend a class on healthy anger, would you go?
