Anger Into Art

After being awakened numerous times during the night by my dog, instead of taking my anger out on him, I decided to express it in another way.

I remembered my husband telling me some thirty years ago that I did my best work when I was emotional. The work at that time was songwriting. Frustrated with him over some issues that I don’t even remember now, I reached into my pocketbook, pulled out a piece of paper, and finished my first song.

The result of my frustration today didn’t turn out too bad.

I pray my Native American friends won’t be offended. It is just what popped into my head at that moment.

I have learned over the years that it is okay to be angry but is healthier to direct that anger in a more productive way.

When you are angry, take the time to do this:

Controlled breathing – breath in slowly for 7 seconds and then slowly out for 7 seconds and release. Repeat as needed until calm.

Redirection – Write, draw, play an instrument or whatever creative outlet you have, and put all that emotion that you were feeling into it.

Anger we know can be very destructive and unhealthy. If you don’t have a creative outlet, think about taking a class or teach yourself something new.

Take the time to care about YOU!

Have an awesome day. Jesus loves you.
