Anger Management

11/17/2016

We've just gotten through a really... emotional... election.
Name calling, lies, pitting us versus them (even more than usual).
And in the aftermath?
So. Much. Anger.

Anger is a tough one. We hear about anger management exercises, cooling the anger. In the days around the election, I tried not to be angry. I really did. I tried to stuff it, focus on love, focus on ANYTHING other than the fire I felt boiling inside. I'm a pacifist. I love love.

You know what? It didn't work.

Anger, like any emotion, needs to be expressed - released - a movement of the energy into something else. Anger is creative.

So today, let's talk about how we can use our anger as fuel. Fire it up.

So that's me. Planking it up.
Planks create some serious fire in the core. Throw in some leg lifts, cross knee towards elbow, etc and you will be sweaty in no time.

Planks are a great "go to" when you feel angry. This is because our fire center, literally, the powerhouse of our bodies reside in the core.  Anything that brings your fire to your core is going to help!  (Don't forget twists!)
  • Push Ups, Squats, Jumping Jacks, RUN (Think big movements, big muscles)
  • Molding clay, digging in the dirt, shoveling snow (all of these activities involve transforming something into a new thing)
  • Journal
  • Sing, chant, yodel!
  • Breathe.

Express. 

Don't mask it. Don't push it down. 

​Notice it. Now use it. And create something amazing.

    You gotta feel it to heal it.

    ​Our physical bodies are the primary tool we use to experience this life. Connecting with our breath, moving vibrations through our physical bodies, feeling what comes up, and then releasing through expression, surrender, creativity. This is being human in these human bodies.
