Working with Anger

Yesterday I wrote about the effects exercise has on mood. (see “Keep Karma in Mind”)
Today I awoke angry. Since I live alone I had no one to yell at and no pet to kick, if I was so inclined. So I just seethed at Eric Baldwin, Charlie Sheen, overpaid football coaches and anybody who has been unfortunate enough to catch the attention of our national news media.

This internal ranting and raving continued for about thirty minutes. Then, my right palm came directly at my forehead and hit with a resounding splat. Wow!

Inner Voice: “Hey! You wrote about this Yesterday.”) “You are not a slow learner.”
Me: “No. I’m not a slow learner.” However, I have some habits that need to be modified.”
Inner Voice: “Well, think about what you wrote yesterday.”

I did. I followed my own instructions and as the research suggests, it worked. After a few minutes of “walking in the park,” my mood changed, even without the “kiss in the dark.” I challenge you to try it. I think you will like the results.
