I’m angry about being angry

Posted on by philipdodson

When we fight against our feelings, especially the negative ones, they do not go away. They become energised and grow.

Often when I get angry, I get angry about being angry. I tell myself I should just be floating on a cloud, all calm and zen-like. ‘I know how to deal with this…I shouldn’t be angry’ is what I tell myself and that causes more anger!

However, all feelings are there for a reason and we could choose to welcome them. To learn why we feel that way and to use it as our guide.

Funnily, the moment we accept and welcome our negative states, the sooner they subside and go. Energy goes where our focus goes and resistance and fighting something is a negative energy.

What’s outside the circle?

Outside the circle, it is scary

Not everything that we do will be brilliant, we are not a machine, we are a human being and we will make some fuck ups. In fact, the more we do not care and the more we let go of fear, the more fuck ups we will make as we will be doing more.

Doing something requires a risk, stepping out of the safe middle of the circle where everyone else is and going to the edges or outside the circle entirely and into the wilderness.

This requires bravery, a willingness to say to ourselves ‘this might not work’.

However, if we want to create our dreams and do something that really matters to us and others, then we have to be prepared to go outside the circle where it is scary.
