Been discussing this very emotion with my little sister this week, specifically in relation to parenting our children, and how expressing anger constructively can also teach our children that they are safe to do the same.
I came up with the idea that anger can be called passion (for something in which I believe). Is this also a fair assessment? It frames the emotion as a value of strength rather than an anger that might be one emotion to fear for its consequences.
I love this. No emotion is bad or wrong. We are in control of how we respond to & regulate our own emotions. A lot of people assume anger is a response -- but it's not! That's our own choice of how we externalize our anger.
👏👏👏👏👏 This reminds me a lot of Adam Grants writing style - extremely thought provoking. Learning something new is great, but altering the way you think is life changing. Well done!
Also very curious to learn what was on the ‘Your Anger is Your Gift’ playlist 🤣
As Lydon said 'Anger is an energy.' How you use that energy, however ...
Love this!
