There is no other way to release your anger than to get angry. But that may be a problem. Especially if you’re waiting until you have a reason to get angry. You’re waiting until you get pissed off, until someone triggers you, until you’ve had enough.
And here lies the problem. When you wait, your anger builds. It festers. It boils. And it becomes more than ready to release at any given moment. And when that moment arrives, your anger releases in full force because you had no control over it. It just happened. And it was done waiting.
And you wanted to control it. You thought you had control over it. You were sure you had it in check this time. Maybe you’ve been down this road before, and you swore that next time, you would get it right. You wouldn’t get as angry, you wouldn’t rage, and you wouldn’t hurt anyone. But it didn’t work. You lost control. Again.
So now what? Where do you go from here? This has become really scary now.
You have no control over your anger. It controls you.
This is so incredibly frightening. Something deep inside of you is out of control. And it decides when and how it wants to come out.
Maybe it’s just better to forget about it. Pretend it’s not there. Ignore it. It has to go away. Why is it there in the first place? Why do you get so angry? Why can others keep their cool and you can’t? Why do you have to be so uptight? What’s wrong with you?
There’s nothing wrong with you. You have anger. And anger is a natural emotion.
And it’s normal to feel this emotion. And you need to feel it. But not when someone provokes you to feel it. You need to feel it on your terms. You can decide when, where and how you want to feel this anger. You don’t have to wait.
It’s time to release this anger that’s in you. It’s time to get angry. It’s time that you take your control back. It’s time you get anger on your side. Anger tells others that you have had enough. Anger says that it is time for change…in you. So go ahead. Get angry!
