Learning to Feel Anger

I’ve been lately feeling this subsurface tension of anger and irritability to a point where I feel like I wanna start a brawl with someone for no reason.

It’s weird.

I have not been one to show rage or anger outwardly.

But as I have been learning about psychology, human psyche and “Shadow Work” from writings of Carl Jung,

I feel like I need to find a way that is healthy to show these hidden emotions.

Anger, Rage, Attraction, Lust, Envy, Competitiveness are emotions that we all keep hidden (or atleast try to hide)

But for the last 6-7 weeks, I have been very attentive to my feelings of rage in particular.

And I’m trying to find a way to channel it better.

Some ways I’m trying to channel it now are by

• Working Out every single day.

• Channeling it on my drawing sessions.

• Going for a Run.

• Deep Breaths &

• Writing.

Reading Carl Jung and being able to listen to his videos (very rare to find) has been enormously fascinating.

The parts of us we struggle to hide are exactly the parts we need to learn to show the world.

If we keep trying to hide our things under the bed, we will one day run out of place and the bed will come crashing down.

The same goes for lust or envy I think. You need to find better ways to channel these everyday emotions into something that benefits you and others around you.

And the only way to understand what's going on in your head is to self reflect and to study about the mind and the subconscious.

Like an alchemist turning normal metals into gold, you should turn your normal human drives and emotions into fuel for the fire inside.

I think this is a looong process and I will have more thoughts on it as I learn more.

But for now, this is where I’m at.

Sayonara,
