What a great topic!

Interestingly enough, I noticed I felt resistance to the phrase “mastering anger” as if anger were a skill to cultivate.

I like the way @Roo Mulligan puts it – “honor my own anger.”

I believe that our emotions are not who we are but rather signposts from our body that something needs attention, so honoring them as messengers makes more sense for me!

And the way that I honor my anger is to get compassionately curious about it – why am I so charged? What’s underneath of that? What’s underneath of that? And how can I fully feel into it without getting hooked?

It’s a practice and a process, but when I approach it this way, I find it’s much easier to embrace these “ugly” feelings when they come rather than try to push them away.
