The Pursuit of..... Anger

Anger: a strong feeling of displeasure and usually of antagonism. What makes you mad, urkes you, drives you up the wall, gets a bee in your bonnet, make you want to overthrow the milk man when he comes to visit again???? This may be the most successful blog- why because as you will see, anger drives us.

First level of anger: Frustrations, pet peeves. Do you get angry at......

• The cart you choose at the grocery store swivels or jiggles as you move not allowing you to steer the cart to any isle but only into other people.
• People who know which buttons to push to want to attack them in a friendly-vicious way.
• A computer, you just bought, which only has the trial offer of Microsoft Vista- which now is not working so you will have to buy a new version after just buying the computer.
• Someone who cuts right in front of you on the street only to slow down and turn in 2 mins.
• Parents-your own or other peoples'
• personal weakness
• There is clutter
• Throw pillows are not in the "right place"
• Talking on the phone.
• Those people who pee on the seat- and I am not just talking about guys!
• People who try to dress- be original please.

These things may only frustrate me, but please add your own. Getting these things out in the open will thrust you into a new found energy. Trust me. Try it...

Now, Try out this one! Get ANGRRRRRRRYYYYYYY! Become "green" with anger, furious, outraged, dogeared and panting (not sure if I heard that or made it up?), and see what happens. (You may just be wondering are you crazy- why should I think about anger- I need to relax- but just hold on and try it out you may be surprised).
Do you get ANGRY at:

• child abuse
• "people asking you to do things" like be a nursery worker, Sunday school teacher, or ( place something in this blank which applies to you ____________.)
• the spread of diseases- AIDS, HIV,
• teen pregnancy- and the immoral society which makes these practices so free that we have no respect for sex. Sex= happy. ( I am sex, today I have had a great day).
• ME
• over due books- (no that is just my fault- so I am angry at myself)
• Paying for things which you need but cost more than they should- such as Kleenex, toilet paper, food, fruit, veggies, teaching licenses, cell phones, anything not so fun.
• Tolerant people- who are not tolerant

Now check how you feel. Most may feel relieved to release this anger through talking about it. But does your blood boil? DO you feel like you could run for about 12 miles or maybe a good 2? Or maybe it brings up other things which bring up other things? Anger energy- what if we used this energy to make these thing right or try? If we stopped only talking about them but use the things which make us angry to drive a energy/passion to help these things. I find that the more I am angry at something (like nursery duty) the more I realize that people ask because I can do it and they trust me- why not change that into taking that 2 hour shift of chaotic screaming kids to help out. Or stop being critical of those who you despise and turn around and have good days- with the energy. As Martha Stewart might say Angry energy-"its a good thing".

And till next time: remember it is not brainy people who make money- its those who use their brains and butt kissing skills to find great paying jobs who make the money.
