Anger has taken me hostage!!!

I started of my day as I always do feeling greatful and just appreciating all the things I can do today. Furthermore, today is friday!!!

Somehow the morning took a sudden turn and without me really noticing my mood just changed. I found myself feeling jumpy, irritated, frustrated and just so vulnerable. Today is what I call a bad day. I need to return to my center.

This did not happen out of the blue. It happened because I let fear, the future affect me, and after that I left the present and myself. Afterwards, I just stopped being in the moment.

In addition, it seems that once you have let yourself be thrown of your balance every little detail just annoys you! All sounds seem to become louder, time seems to slow down and our surroundings just seem to be closing on us. It is amazing how things can be so different just by changing our perspective.

Today I recognize when I am angry and frustrated. At the moment, there is not much I can do for my anger than just close my eyes and place my anger in a big ballon and watch it fly away. This has calmed me and has made me able to continue with my daily tasks. However, I know I am still at risk of another frustration/anger crisis.

Today I know there are tools I can choose from to deal with my feelings. It is up to me to change back the course of my day. It is up to me to stop feeling this way. I will not ignore it or hide, I have decided to deal with it. Of course, I will not run, eat or drink my anger away, misplace my anger, this will just make it grow!!!

I must accept that anger is a natural human emotion. I must be prepared for these moments and welcome them so I can move on.

Challenge of the day: I will take the time to return to my center. How can I do this? Meditating, sharing, praying, writing, painting, listening to music, massage, anything that connects me with my innerself. I choose to take a long relaxing aromatherapy bath.
