What makes you angry? Injustice? War? Poverty? Your partner coming home late from work every night? Your boss or co-workers being stupid and lazy? What else? I'm guessing you'd like to change these things for the better, and you become angry out of frustration, because you think you're supposed to be angry, or from the belief that anger will somehow create the changes you'd like? Will it? Probably not. Two things that anger will create are: stress and toxicity in your body, and; resistance and reaction in other people. Will either of these things help you to make the changes you'd like? No. They might even make it harder. If you'd like to be free from anger's control, to create what you'd really like, ask “What will anger contribute here?” and then “What else is possible to create the changes I'd like to see?” What if you could see anger for what it was: a distraction?

How often do you get angry? What makes you angry? How quickly does your anger come to the surface? Do you think it's wrong? Does the anger envelope you in layers you can't escape? Does it distract you from creating the life you'd truly like? Rather than considering anger in itself wrong, what if you asked a question to get clear on what it truly was? For example, Heated Anger can indicate where you are in judgement, rather than interesting point of view. Explosive Anger can show you where you've been suppressing yourself. Or Rising Anger may indicate someone is lying to you. All useful to know. So next time, ask “What is this anger?” Then notice what shows up and acknowledge it. In doing so, you'll be free to choose for you, rather than be in response. Don't forget, you can always play with Potent Anger to get your point across.
