5 Signs you are Quietly Angry
- You spend your time quietly reliving events justifying your action or inaction.
- You give the silent treatment, making your presence known with loud sounds (door slamming).
- You criticize others who are not present.
- You lash out at other drivers or other peoples actions .
- You believe you take the higher ground and are the ‘better’ person.
Anger is the emotion we use to express our fear, doubt, discomfort and sadness. Like nervous laughter, anger is merely the tip of the iceberg because underneath are unexpressed emotions and memories layered with doubt and fear.
Of all the emotions we experience, anger is the most unpredictable. It erupts unexpectedly leaving us feeling guilty and relieved at the same time.
Learning to manage the negative effects of anger grows with awareness. Anger can be a positive emotion when we use it consciously without causing harm to ourselves or another.
It takes courage to peel away emotional layers. Mindful meditation brings you into the present moment to experience your feelings without being owned by them. Meditating with an experienced instructor supports you from drifting to leave you feeling a deeper sense of calm and trust.
