Anger a voice worth listening to

“Choosing not to act on an angry  impulse and to feel the pain that lies beneath is a very powerful thing” - Gary Zakov

Anger is one of these emotions, women still learn to silence, to deny it entirely  or to vent it in a way that leaves us feeling helpless and powerless.

Suppressing anger does not really help you. When anger is turned inwards it can result in depression or/and somaticizes into disease.
How we deal with anger and how we express ourselves is the key to better relationships with others and also with yourself. Anger can become a tool for self healing or a weapon of destruction. The choice is yours. Learn to use anger as a powerful vehicle for creating meaningful and lasting change by making anger your ally rather than your enemy.
In fact anger is a sign worth listening to. It is a sign that you have been offended in some way or another, how you express this feeling is a totally different thing. The emotion of anger is neither bad nor good. In a sense it is your warning sign. It sets your heart racing, elevates your blood pressure and quickens your breath. Adrenaline surges through your veins and poises you for action.

Anger is a sign that your core values are being offended, your beloved ones are being harmed or you feel wronged or your needs are not met.
Make anger your ally and take time to listen to its voice because it is the voice of your intuition. Acknowledge your anger and release it in healthy ways without offending, hurting or discrediting others.

Befriend  anger and make  it your ally, feel its power and give it a voice, so you understand what anger is trying to tell you and how it tries to defend you from possible harm. Often relationships become stronger as we learn to listen to our anger and use it as a signal to implement positive changes.
Listen to what anger is telling you so you can make the changes you need to live the life you truly love.
