Utilize anger in a healthy way by honoring your boundaries
Listen to this episode (1:38:14)
Anger can rise up in you because of a violation of your personal boundaries, but do you even know what your boundaries are?
I like to think of boundaries as your castle walls. And within those walls lies your emotional core where you are most vulnerable yet most powerful at the same time.
Sometimes we feel anger and we aren’t even sure why. This episode will help you learn what your boundaries are so that you know at what point you can be pushed before you “lose it”.
Also, I read an email from someone who got so angry that he forgot what he said while he was in that state. You do have a choice to either utilize anger for your protection, or to attack someone else.
What you choose will determine if you’re in control or not. Where anger takes you is up to you as long as you stay conscious long enough to utilize it in the best way possible.
