The Rise and Fall of Anger
Anger is a normal part of our emotions. It is a healthy response to an appropriate situation, it rises and falls and, when allowed to be expressed, is released and forgotten. Anger that is unexpressed, repressed, or held onto is unhealthy and begins to have negative consequences for one’s overall wellbeing. Learning when and how to get angry is one of the difficult challenges of life. Many people learn to contain their anger so completely that they don’t feel angry even when they should. This lack of anger is as much an indicator of an imbalance as is the constant feeling of anger and irritation that can come from blocked Spring energy.
Try venting your anger in a constructive way: punch a pillow, chop wood, shout, jump up and down, sprint, write a letter to your congressman…whatever it takes to get it out of your body without destroying anything.
