What a great session today at my WAVES course. It was all about anger. This is my main concern and it was great to address it. I worry about my anger and it has affected my life in numerous ways….. jobs and relationships mainly and some uncomfortable confrontations in public, all of my own making.
There’s a lot to learn, I mean a ton of stuff about what anger is, where it comes from, what do we do with it. It’s actually incredibly interesting to learn about the ancient part of our brain that deals with the most basic of instincts….
1. Eating ie hunting incredibly dangerous animals
2. Sleeping ie getting ready for tomorrow’s hunt
3. Fucking ie having kids so when you’re too old to hunt they can go out and kill some woolly mammoths
We fight or run away. We stay and confront our fears or run away and hide. We are not that far removed from our Neanderthal forebears. Anyone that’s interested in this subject can Google it and thousands of pages will turn up. Have a look at MINDs site.
I wrote down all the causes of my anger on paper, screwed them up and made a caterpillar from all the negative stuff!
Everything takes time Doug and everything comes yo he who waits. Have patience. It will all work out in the end x
