Happy Monday

Anger

I had a wonderful visit this weekend with a friend I rarely get to spend time with.  If you’re like me you replay conversations in your mind long after they are finished. While I was in replay mode I was pleasantly surprised to hear my words explaining things instead of just talking things down.  As you know I take a class each week and I have learned that “Anger is a secondary emotion”.  What this means is when we are angry it’s a reaction to something else like, embarrassment, insecurity, fear, rejection etc.  We don’t know how to process the primary trigger so we just get mad.

That’s not me anymore ! When I was talking to her I could explain things in a way that made sense and there were positive outcomes instead of a boiling pot of emotion. She even asked me a couple of times about situations that should make me anxious… “Oh, well what are you going to do about that?’ I found myself saying – “Well, that’s not until August and August will take care of itself, this is June and I’m not going to waste June and July worrying about August.”

This is a powerful change for me. For those of you who are in touch with your emotions and can handle situations my hat is off to you.   The Lord wants us to know Him and know ourselves.

Self awareness is a wonderful tool in the construction of a good life.

Jesus said to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbor as yourself.   Well, you can’t do that if you don’t love yourself !!!

You are the only person that you can never get away from, so you’d better work it out.

Have a great week ladies, thanks for letting me share.
