“Where there is anger, there is always pain underneath.”

— Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now

backtrace the anger

to the hurt it hides

anger is always

a secondary emotion

accept you feel hurt

get out of your feelings

breathe, ground, center

then seek to understand

why?

where are you attached

to an outcome or timeline

thebookquotes:

“Don’t apologize for your feelings. Never apologize for those.”

— Jenna Evans Welch, from Love & Olives

but don’t trust them

to be accurate portrayals of reality

accept you feel them

then seek to understand

where your thinking led to them

so you can let them go

so they will let you go

and out of understanding

choose effective, rational, healthy responses

start now

you’re not guaranteed

another moment

don’t let feelings

trap you in a pit

Bill Murray on being present:

“Just try to feel your own weight, in your own seat, in your own feet. Okay? So if you can feel that weight in your body, if you can come back into the most personal identification, a very personal identification, which is: I am. This is me now. Here I am, right now. This is me now. Then you don’t feel like you have to leave, and be over there, or look over there. You don’t feel like you have to rush off and be somewhere.”

Aging Gracefully

when you lose your center

when you’re in your feelings

when you’re chasing the rabbits

when you’re beside yourself

when you’re in your head

breathe

in through your nose

for five seconds

out through your mouth

for five seconds

over and over

re-read this blog

re-center

re-ground

get out of your head

and into your body

and connect with physical reality

as quickly as possible

Other people don’t get to treat you badly just because they’re suffering and you don’t get to treat other people badly just because you’re suffering. We all have a responsibility not to take our pain out on others, no matter how hard what we’re going through is.

we justify

our own toxicity

when we get

in our feelings

understand your feelings

trace the thoughts

that led to them

but do not trust them

to take you

anywhere good
