The idea of chilling off to tone down anger sounds like a plan - you could end up saying hurtful stuff that will damage relationships forever. When I was fresh from varsity I realised that my short temper could get me fired. I decided to take a couple of days leave at times to cool off. You got me down memory lane Manuel 🤠
Loved this post! Anger is an emotion we all experience, and I feel like we aren't taught enough (or maybe any) practices that can help us express it in a healthy way and move through it. I also loved learning about the Spanish words for anger, thank you!
As a personal choice, I find no place for anger. By practicing thoughtfulness, clarity, and empathy for others, we can promote greater understanding of their difficulties. It's important to look within ourselves and to offer kindness, support, and guidance. We should extend grace and patience to both ourselves and others to ensure that we are fully understood. A lack of these qualities can lead to stress and a diminished sense of self-worth.
I agree, Anna. Some people are more sensitive to emotional vibes, some people do not sense them as easily. I think some of the chill people you mention are those. I don't think either is good or bad, it is what it is.
I am one of the hypersensitive type and life can be painful sometimes, but I learned to live with my thoughts in a healthy way.
I don't like to get or be angry... I find it disorienting...It's too much like the whoosh of fire and can leave you burned...
Thanks for sharing, April.
Yes, anger can be dangerous. My dad used to say it is like a very sharp knife. It can help you do your job or it can cut you…
Still, with awareness anger can be a useful tool, imho
I definitely found it useful in my youth, and still do occasionally to this day.
That said, as I have matured I have found anger to be a hindrance. Proud to say I've come a long way, but not ashamed to say I'm still growing.
Sage move! Thanks for sharing Chris!
