| It's
alright to FEEL anger. Its perfectly NORMAL to feel hurt and upset
or rejected, even betrayed. What's NOT ALRIGHT is to allow your anger
or sadness to devour you or leave you feeling dejected or devoid of power,
energy, and spirit.
Some of
us FEAR anger and DENY sadness. We smother our emotions, scared to
feel too much. (If we felt them with all their magnitude, could they take
us over?) In actuality, emotions can only hold the power that we
assign to them! On their own, they are only words.
Concealing
our true feelings can lead to self-destructive behaviors. I use to
swallow my anger, sadness and disappointments with ice cream, cookies and
cake. I always appeared pleasant and in control while shoveling food
down, in private, hating myself. We all have our "drug of choice"
to numb our feelings. I didn't know how to communicate my feelings
(growing up, was told "You have no reason to feel that way", or "Children
are seen and not heard"). "So what DO I do with those feelings that
cant be denied" I asked myself. I ate them.
Our other
"drugs of choice" are drugs, alcohol, cigarettes or gambling to push
down and, hopefully, kill those uncomfortable feelings. |
Unfortunately,
negative feelings never die, they are buried alive within us, where they
continue to DISEMPOWER us.
Continually
harboring sadness and anger isolates us from those we love, and those who
would love us. These emotions are our clue that things aren't right
inside. Its a call to evaluate our lives to change our direction or perspective
(IT'S NEVER TOO LATE), a clear message that we are not aligning with our
SENSE OF PURPOSE.
One way
to rid yourself from these very heavy emotions without "outside help" is
to reclaim our own power, energy and spirit by learning and
practicing Emotional Freedom Technique. It allows you to identify
the situation, feel the most intense emotion, rate the severity from 0-10,
then tap on upper body acupressure points, thereby releasing these negative
emotions that are stored and harbored in these energy lines (meridians).
This is all about using your OWN POWER to release negative blockages in
your energy system, WITHOUT talking about the problem or challenge at hand.
This is a self healing process which EMPOWERS YOU and reminds you of the
SELF-CONTROL you truly have over your life. EFT allows you to strip
the energy away from the emotions of anger and sadness, thereby stopping
them from limiting your life. It can be practiced anywhere, anytime,
(except while driving)! |
The
world is your mirror; know that what you PROJECT,
YOU WILL
RECEIVE BACK. If you are an angry person, you will attract other
angry people to yourself. If you act sad and feel powerless,
you attract sad and powerless people. Conversely, you feel cheerful,
and lighthearted, the same will take notice. Like attracts
like.
You have
a choice to use your anger and sadness as a call to transform yourself
by learning a life-long skill of tapping (EFT). Every time you use
this skill, you gain confidence, strength, and the knowledge that you are
beginning to reveal the happy, peaceful person you were always meant to
be. Be true to yourself as you "tap" into the unending source of
power, energy and love which empowers, supports and connects us all! |
