Why Anger is Good
I know it isn’t the most festive entry but December for me
has really been a stressful month. By the time you are 12 months into the year
you are stretched from end to end and are teaching yourself meditation
techniques to keep the shingles at bay.
Work demands, home demands, personal demands. And you naïvely
believe that there is some reprieve with Christmas and the New Year but really
there isn’t. In fact, everything gets even more magnified. All the things still
left undone, un-organized, unrealised. And what about all the stuff that you
did accomplish? Of course you should be recognized for that? And you feel you
will be ‘thanked’ for the strong results, but even then, you get… a lump of
coal wrapped up in a tiny recycled bow! I don’t know about you; but that makes
me real mad.
At first, I was trying to fight the anger and think about
things rationally but the truth is, nothing propels you to get out of your
current situation and into a better one, quite like anger. If a dress is
bulging in all the wrong places and that makes you angry, you sign up for a
kickboxing class and kick the crap out of those bulges; or the dress.
In effect, if you are angry it just means that you have
hope. Hope because you know that the source of ‘that’ anger is temporary since
you won’t let ‘that’ happen to you again. You now know better. You deserve
better. There IS a better. A better dress. A better gym. A better job. A better
boyfriend. Whatever your case is.
Now you just have to harness that potential for a long
enough time to keep you focused on getting yourself out of the current ‘angry’
place and onto a more deserving platform.
I am totally giving this a shot in 2015! Go hard or go home,
right?!
