I bet you were never taught this

Do you believe that anger can be good for you?

It’s not what we’re taught, but...

If we don't have a little bit of anger, sometimes we get stuck and don’t move forward.😠 Why?

Anger can be motivating because it ignites us to create change for the better. Obviously...

This doesn't mean that you should start acting out of anger, but instead, recognize what’s triggering that sense of anger, accept it, and do something PRODUCTIVE about it! Then...

You'll stop feeling angry. But the thing is...

It’s not about NOT being angry. Trying to suppress anger makes it expand. 😤 In fact...

From the hundreds of clients I’ve worked with over the years, if they were dealing with an anger issue (either as a receiver or a giver of angry behavior), it’s because the anger was pushed down for so long that it came out more explosively, later. In essence...

Anger needs to exhale too. And if it doesn't, it turns violent. So if you're angry with someone or something...

Be aware of the feeling in the moment, then put your focus on what else you can do with that feeling which can actually create a burst of creative force, and project it on something positive. It’s not about...

Squashing the anger, but re-directing it in this new way eventually makes the anger melt away.

That’s what I did with the song: "High On Love (Can’t Get Too)." When I wrote this song...

I looked around at the state of our world and I went into an anger spiral. I thought...

"Why in the world are we still using plastic bottles, knowing that there’s a Texas-sized island of trash in the middle of the Pacific!? Why are people still throwing things into the ocean? Into the rivers? On the floor!??" And then...

As my frustration peaked, I wrote a song that took me to another place (literally to outer space, as you’ll see in the video, in a red Tesla roadster, no less...but that’s another story!). 🚀

Then I realized...

Writing the song helped me to get out of anger and then I was able to think more
rationally and compassionately, and find better solutions to how I can be a more responsible contributor to our precious planet.

Let me know in the comments how you think I did with channeling my frustration into something positive, or how you can turn anger into love.

Watch "High on Love (Can't Get Too)" and I'd love for you to share the love!
