(The MOTH hasn't done a great job of hiding it.) And let me tell you I need it. Great idea about teaching the kids. I teach the boys that it's okay and normal to get angry, it's what we do with the anger that's important. I’m getting a punching bag for Christmas too!

I have things I need to change and I want to change. And I have stresses to deal with too! Actually identifying these things and acknowledging them is a start for me. I need to harness my anger at finishing my thesis! Thanks Wendy and Zuzu. I have things I need to change and I want to change. And I have stresses to deal with too!

It matters how we use our anger. We need to use the energy it arouses to change things that need changing. If the anger is a result of depression and/or stress, then we need to deal with that.

Whatever it is the negative energy need to be released, otherwise it can linger and manifest itself into physical illness. The same goes for sadness or any other negative emotion they have to be released to make room for the positive ones.
