C’mon Inner Peace, I don’t have all day!

“I’m just so angry right now, I feel like smashing this desk into smithereens…”

“I feel so low, all I want is to stay in bed all day and cry my eyes out.”

“I hate myself, I wish I could just disappear from the face of Earth…”

“Why did he/she say that?”

“Life is so messed up!”

We’ve been there, or we know people who’ve been there.

No one ever said life is going to be easy. But most of us feel entitled to a smooth, always sunshine-y one.

We have regrets. We feel ashamed. We grieve over the loss of loved ones. We go through heartbreak. We lose. Unfair events make us so angry – with ourselves, with God (okay, atheists, back up a bit. We'll talk about it later). We hate uncertainty. We are human, after all.

It’s easy to slip. It’s easy to let the negativity get to you.

These are moments you need to help yourself. Because at the end of it all, how you weathered the storm is all that matters.

Because anger, frustration, helplessness, hopelessness can cloud your perspective. And it won’t affect just you, but also your tribe.

So identify the trigger. What’s making you react that way? Is there a positive outlet you can use for that raging storm in you?

Think.

And always follow your heart.
