Hurricanes, How does anger effect my life?

Today reading in "Seasons of Change a 90 day transformational guide" I was asked to journal about anger and how it operates in your life? I realize today that anger like all emotions is an emotion. Unlike childhood I am aware today that it is here usually to transport me from one place to the next at a rapid rate of speed.

I really enjoy the line in todays reading " How often do I allow anger to sit on the surface of my life waiting for something to come and stir it up?"

When I am pushing myself so hard that I am not taking time to breathe. It becomes easy to lose awareness of my mood, attitude, and emotions. It is in those moments that I find it is most easy to create a storm in my life. I begin to feel unappreciated, unvalued, and took for granted. All of this because on the surface of my life I have allowed myself to become depleted. Which is where I do not honor myself, and value my need for self care.

It is at those moments that I find there is indeed anger (heat) on the surface of my life waiting to be stirred up. Then some unsuspecting person, place of thing come along and not say hello, thank you, or you're welcome and off I go. I think the key here is that it is so much easier to focus that energy of the hurricane of emotions at others rather than looking at the fact I am the one who set the bar for what I will allow into my life by not self caring.

I would far rather someone else be liable for this mess. Not to mention, the sympathy that I receive for being the victim in this experience. It is not difficult to look at others and place responsibility outside ourselves, when in fact we started the party of devaluing who we are in the first place. Take a breath today and check in with yourself and take a look where you are, and love yourself. I love you! Rev Allen
