Alleviate Feelings of Anger and Frustration

Anger is often a useful and important emotion, but, left unchecked it can get the best of us and take us out of the present moment. At its core, anger is about conflict: conflict with others, ourselves, or situations.

Bottling up anger wears on your health. On the other hand, lashing out stresses the body and it can make you feel destructive, dangerous, and out of control.

Bringing mindfulness to your anger can lead to the realization that when the emotion of anger is present, it’s often a knee-jerk reaction to the softer emotions beneath – like hurt or fear.

And so, by practicing mindfulness and gently acknowledging those emotions you allow yourself to regain control over your emotions and reactions, promoting a sense of calm and clarity amidst tumultuous feelings.
