Anger Management – MaggiesVitamins

“Let your anger set with the sun and not rise again with it”. Irish Proverb

I am sure we have all been angry in our lives. It is a natural emotion and an expression that helps us to release pent up emotion. There is nothing wrong with anger when it is used for its purpose and not prolonged or it does not become a regular part of one’s life.

Anger eats away at a person and it also, of course, hurts the people it is projected at if it is indeed project at someone. Anger is very toxic to both the expresser of it and the receiver.

Anger is also associated with the liver in Chinese Medicine. It is said “Anger is the natural response to any interruption in the liver’s mission to move and grow.”

This makes sense to me because when I feel or experience anger, I feel my body become tighter and more restricted. I feel my ‘blood boil’ and we know that the blood is filtered through the liver so I can relate to the idea of the liver being interrupted in its ability to move and grow. It begins to constrict rather than expand.

If you are dealing with a lot of anger that you cannot explain or you might even wonder why you are reacting in anger, it might be helpful to work at supporting your liver.

I have written several posts about supporting the liver and you can read them here:

Of course, seeking a counselor or medical guidance is always a great plan as well. 🙂 But it never hurts to love our livers as the really are the source of our ‘life’.

Dealing With Anger – 5 Tips to Help

April 29, 2020 Maggie Holbik, Offering Inspiration for Living Freely and in JOY!

“For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind”. Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Having anger or being an angel? Hand turns a dice and changes the word “anger” to “angel”. And you can change the word to angle too! A new angle on anger. 🙂

I don’t know about you, but I find myself experiencing anger lately. Last night, in particular, I started feeling anger. I am sure this is happening more than normal for some of us due to the pandemic we are in.

I am normally a positive and JOYful person, but I found myself getting angry. I would think about something and then add to the pot, and my anger started to grow larger.

But by this morning I had a break through and was able to shift it…..

I woke up feeling the feelings from the night before and I realized that I no longer wanted to experience them. They did not feel good to me, and in that instant I knew I wanted to pivot out of that situation. So here is what I did.

5 Things That I Did To Move Through My Anger

I ACKNOWLEDGED and recognized that I indeed felt anger. In fact my daughter and I discussed this openly just a few minutes ago. I told her how I had gotten caught up in anger but that I now realize that the anger is not serving me and that I don’t like it. She then shared some feelings of anger she had yesterday and we each talked out our feelings. And then we smiled, felt relieved and carried on to our new day.
I DECIDED that anger does not serve me. It only keeps me in fear and pain and that I do not like. No. No. No. I choose JOY on this road trip of life. 🙂
I FELT it, but I did not hang on to it. I experienced it (energy in motion) but I did not stay in the experience. I MOVED through it to the other side.
I used AWARENESS to realize what was going on and I accepted it, but I also made a conscious choice to pivot to a new experience and a new outcome.
I did not JUDGE myself for feeling this way. I observed and I made choices to alter the experience and move through to a more positive place.

So I turned the angle on my anger and turned it into an angel 🙂

And it is interesting to note that the moment I shifted and cleared my anger the sun came out. 🙂

If you are feeling anger or other feelings that are not making you feel good at this time, I hope you find these 5 pivot points helpful. I know many people are suffering right now. Stay strong, know that you are loved and keep the faith that there are new and better days awaiting us.

All my Best,

Maggie

The Time is Now …. to let it go….

April 1, 2020December 27, 2021 Maggie Holbik, Offering Inspiration for Living Freely and in JOY!

One of the best things that we can do for our health, right now, is to let go of any anger and resentment we have for anyone or anything.

I am not going to pull up a whole bunch of studies here to back this up but I could pull up many. I am going to keep it simple.

We know that anger and resentment are enemies to our spirit, our happiness and to our immune system. Right now, more than ever, we need to be supporting our immune systems.

With social distancing and not being able to see other people that we do care about and maybe even some we miss but we hold resentment toward, this is the perfect time to bring resolution to these situations.

I am sure we are all thinking deeply about our lives and what they mean to us and this includes our relationships. I am sure we all will agree that loving and peaceful relationships are the ultimate gift here on earth.

If you have no way to initiate resolution with someone that you are holding anger toward, or you feel helpless as to how to let it go, just take a baby step and let it go in your own heart 💜, knowing it does not serve you, especially at this time when the best thing we can do is anything that is good for our immune system.
