💢 Anger Isn’t the Enemy

Anger gets a bad reputation. It’s loud, messy, and often arrives uninvited. But beneath its heat is a signal: something matters to you.

Anger says, “This boundary was crossed.” “This value was ignored.” “This pain needs attention.”

It’s not weakness. It’s not failure. It’s a flare in the dark, asking you to look closer.

🛡️ What Anger Is Trying to Do

Anger isn’t trying to destroy—it’s trying to defend. It wants to protect your dignity, your safety, your truth. But without direction, it burns everything in sight.

When you pause and listen, anger becomes a guide. It points to the wound, not the weapon.

🧭 How to Work With It

• Notice it. Where does it live in your body? What triggered it?
• Name it. “I feel angry because…” gives it shape and context.
• Channel it. Use movement, writing, or conversation to release the pressure.
• Learn from it. What boundary needs reinforcing? What truth needs honoring?

🔥 A New Relationship

You don’t have to fear anger. You can respect it. You can walk with it. You can let it speak without letting it scream.

Anger, when understood, becomes courage. It becomes clarity. It becomes the fire that warms—not the fire that consumes.
