TODAY'S THOUGHT - FRIDAY , NOVEMBER 14, 2003
From the book: The Language Of Letting Go
Letting Our Anger Out
It's okay to be angry, but it isn't healthy to be
resentful. Regardless of what we learned as
children, no matter what we saw role modeled,
we can learn to deal with our anger in ways
that are healthy for us and for those around us.
We can have our angry feelings. We can connect
with them, own them, and feel them, express
them, release them, and be done with them.
We can learn to listen to what anger is telling us
about what we want and need in order to take
care of ourselves.
Sometimes we can even indulge in angry feelings
that aren't justified. Feelings are just feelings;
there is no morality in the feeling, only in our
behavior. We can feel angry without hurting or
abusing others or ourselves. We can learn to deal
with anger in ways that benefit our relationships
instead of ways that harm them.
If we don't feel our angry feelings today, we will
need to face them tomorrow.
Today, I will let myself feel my anger. I will express
my anger appropriately, without guilt. Then I will be
done with it.
