Don't
Look Back in Anger
What is Anger?
It's the expression of difference.
So
why do we equate anger with a 4 letter word?
Because the
ways to express anger have been expressed to us in
extreme form.
Of all the four core emotions, Sadness, Fear and Joy
being the
other three, this one conveys the most risk to the person
on the receiving
end.
What influences
the expression of Anger?
Sex conditioning:
Big boys
don't cry, but they can get angry instead (it's the other way
around for
big girls). Why? It's essential for the archetypal
Hunter-Gatherer
to have anger as his aid.
But this
means murder is on his mind.
Social conditioning:
It's unusual
to end up in prison for being sad or frightened because
these are
passive, victim emotions.
Anger is
active and compels us to persecute and act out instead
of acting
in.
Self conditioning:
Anger is
about loss. Loss of control or ‘losing it’.
So what do
we do instead? Bottle it up and leave it to ferment.
The longer
we leave it, the tighter we have to twist the lid until
eventually
we ‘lose it’ and become the very thing we were avoiding
in the first
place!
How can I
manage my anger?
Take an emotional
laxative!
For healthy
emotional fluency, keep a daily check on what and
how you're
feeling. Allow all of your core emotions to inform your
thinking.
Are you able to? If not, ask for feedback.
Anger, when
allowed to flow positively, is a great motivator – it feeds
our passion
- but like salt, anger is no use to anyoone on its own.
