TAKING TIME OUT TO SPEND WITH OURSELVES IN NATURE GIVES US A CHANCE TO REFLECT ON OUR HUMAN EMOTIONS.
EVEN NATURE APPEARS TO EXPRESS ENERGIES OF PEACE, JOY AND SOMETIMES ANGER WHETHER IT BE VIA AN ANIMAL, THE SEA, THE WIND OR WEATHER. HUMAN EMOTIONS ARE NORMAL AND EVERY EMOTION SERVES A PURPOSE. ANGER IS A NECESSARY EMOTION WHICH CAN SAVE AND PROTECT OUR LIVES. ANGER WELL HANDLED HAS A BENEFICIAL PURPOSE AND CAN BE A LUCRATIVE CATALYST FOR CREATING CHANGE WHEN IT IS CHANNELED TO IMPROVE ONES LIFE AND PROTECT ONESELF FROM HARM. LASHING OUT AT OTHERS WITH ANGER IS A LOSS OF ENERGY UNLESS YOUR ARE PROTECTING A LOVED ONE OR SAVING ANOTHER LIFE FROM HARM. ANGER UNEXPRESSED AND KEPT PENT UP INSIDE CAN BE LIKE A POISON TO OUR WELL BEING AND CAN EXPRESS ITSELF IN UNEXPECTED OUTBURSTS TO OTHERS NOT RELATIVE TO THE ORIGINAL SOURCE OF THE ANGER. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE OF SITUATIONS WHERE IT WAS UNSAFE IN OUR PAST TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST OTHERS VIOLATING OUR SAFETY AS OCCURS IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS OR AS CHILDREN WHO ARE UNABLE TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST ADULTS WHO ARE ABUSIVE EITHER PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY OR VERBALLY.
CONSTRUCTIVE COMMUNICATION OF ONES FEELINGS RELATIVE TO THE SOURCE EVOKING THOSE FEELINGS AT THE TIME IS A HEALTHY FORM OF COMMUNICATION IF POSSIBLE. RELEASING THE ENERGY OF PENT UP ANGER THROUGH EXERCISE OR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY OR CHANNELING THE ENERGY OF ANGER INTO CONSTRUCTIVE OUTLETS FOR POSITIVE CHANGE IS ALSO A HEALTHY USE OF THE ENERGY OF ANGER. THE REFLECTIVE AND THOUGHT PROVOKING VIDEO BELOW IS A GOOD PERSPECTIVE ON UNDERSTANDING AND ADDRESSING ANGER IN OUR LIVES.
”It is shame that keeps us human. If you do not know that you have done something wrong then you cannot make a choice to correct it. Shame is like a compass.” – Video Author
