Anger is a very poisonous feeling that has the power to blind us; and there is nothing more harmful than to allow this emotion to take over our life. There are days in our lives when we feel as though all we get is curved balls thrown at us from all different directions, making us react quickly to the situations at hand; Thus causing us to get stressed, disturbed and frustrated. During moments like these, it’s important to recognize the cause of our anger so that we can reflect on it and allow it to be released.

It’s indispensable to get the angry emotions out of our system but it is appropriate to release them in a non-conventional way. Such as walking away from the situation or the person causing us to be annoyed and taking time to breathe and calm ourselves down before confronting the source of our emotion. Once we have allowed the anger to dissipate we can return to deal with the people or situations that upset us and communicate in a diplomatic and calm way. This is the only way to deal with the source of our anger, doing otherwise will only add more fuel to the fire and create more chaos in our existence.

Keeping angry feelings pent up inside not only blocks our clear vision but also cripples our ability to do things with love and enthusiasm. Our well being depends on our ability to keep composed when people and circumstances throw us off balance, failure to do so results in disease, war, hate and loneliness.

We have the ability to maintain a balanced emotional state of mind no matter what life throws our way. But in order to do so, it is essential to find the interconnection between us and our outside reality so that we can see beyond the physical state of mind. Therefore, being able to transcend the mundane emotions wanting to control and obstruct our personal growth.

It is necessary to realize that all the experiences we live through are momentary and just like the sun always shines after a stormy day; our life too will go back to its natural state which is calmness and joy. Whether the circumstances bring us happiness, anger, sadness, peace or chaos; these experiences will shine a new light on our developmental path, guiding us in truly discovering who we are. So learn to embrace all the emotions caused by the physical reality and take each experience and emotion as a learning measure to becoming one with yourself and with human kind.
