Putting Out the Fire of Anger and Overwhelm

Relationships are our best teachers. Anger and Overwhelm are powerful tools for change.

I’m sorry you feel so overwhelmed.

It’s important to remember we are all in this together. A victim can’t exist without a bully, and vice versa. If you feel like someone is playing the victim, it would be wise to wonder who or what is he/she is the victim of. If there is something you can do to not play the game, that will eliminate both sides and everyone will feel lighter.

Anger management is important. One of the best ways to control anger is to adopt a state of gratitude. Of course we can compare and think things could be better or things could be worse, but neither is love. Love is acceptance of what is.

I’m sorry you feel hurt by something someone said. The truth is you have to have an emotional receptor site within you to be affected by another’s words. On some level you believe what he/she said to be true, that’s why it hurts. If I were you, I’d be grateful to him/her for triggering a sensitive spot, as it opens the door of self awareness and has the opportunity for profound and lasting healing.

Does that make me a yogi?

None of us are perfect, that’s part of why we are here. If you think you can change someone else to become more comfortable yourself, you have it all wrong.

It is the uncomfortable times that call us to go deep within, shift our perspective, change our own ways, and rise in compassion.

I hope you both can learn and grow from this, communicate, and become stronger, and more understanding and loving.
