RE: Angry (at) breakfast

Have you worked up a good level of anger at any point and if so why? Was it work, personal life or otherwise and how did you manage it, harness it and then release it. Was there a positive result at the end?

I have always been a calm, quiet and respectful woman, but now I have realized that people like to see how you defend your points of view. Only my ex managed to make me very angry and he himself used to tell me to express it. Once I managed to throw my cell phone at his head hahaha. I should have expressed myself in my work, when once a boss told me that he would like to see me belly dancing, I did not return to the office, I should have faced him, but those situations frustrated me and made me run away.

and decided to quell it somewhat with some breakfast which you can see pictured

Food seems to be a calming agent for many, although others decide not to eat while their anger lasts. I remember that a cousin asked us during my father's funeral: How can you eat during this feeling of mourning? The truth is that in my family we usually eat whether we have the flu, rabies, pain or whatever. Food is always the best medicine to calm feelings and that looks very good hahaha.

Anger doesn't mean one can't still be these things. Anger isn't disrespectful, it's an emotion. People people can be disrespectful whilst they are angry though, but that's a whole other thing. I think anger is healthy as it shows passion and can bring great change.

By respectful, I meant not to say bad words, even when I'm upset.

I guess sometimes we do, we're all human I guess and some human emotions cause us to do things we'd probably not do in other circumstances. I know what you mean though, lashing out isn't always going to end very well, but we need to allow ourselves to be...we,,, ourselves and sometimes we are just more human than at other times.
