00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.460
Anger isn't bad, it's information.

2
00:00:03.100 --> 00:00:05.480
It's your mind and body waving a red flag

3
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:07.100
saying something isn't right here.

4
00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:09.660
The question isn't, should I be angry?

5
00:00:09.980 --> 00:00:12.700
But what's my anger trying to tell me?

6
00:00:12.980 --> 00:00:15.560
Are you feeling unheard, overwhelmed,

7
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:18.400
disrespected, underappreciated?

8
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.040
Anger is often a surface emotion covering something deeper.

9
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:24.320
And if you keep stuffing it down,

10
00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:26.320
it doesn't disappear, it just builds.

11
00:00:27.040 --> 00:00:30.040
But if you explode, you don't feel better either.

12
00:00:30.940 --> 00:00:33.520
The key is creating space before reacting.

13
00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:36.240
Take a deep breath, literally.

14
00:00:38.300 --> 00:00:40.040
Walk away, count to 10.

15
00:00:40.580 --> 00:00:42.580
You could try splashing cold water on your face

16
00:00:42.580 --> 00:00:45.640
or moving your body, rubbing your hands together.

17
00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:48.760
For some people, they like to rub their fingertips

18
00:00:48.760 --> 00:00:50.040
up and down their arms.

19
00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:52.760
The reason we do this is your nervous system

20
00:00:52.760 --> 00:00:55.620
needs a reset before your brain can think clearly.

21
00:00:56.260 --> 00:00:59.980
So then ask yourself, is this really about this moment

22
00:01:00.720 --> 00:01:02.460
or something deeper going on?

23
00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:05.459
If it's a small frustration, release it.

24
00:01:05.740 --> 00:01:09.780
If it's a real issue, face it with clarity, not chaos.

25
00:01:10.740 --> 00:01:12.020
You're allowed to feel anger.

26
00:01:12.860 --> 00:01:15.300
God gave us anger as a signal,

27
00:01:15.620 --> 00:01:18.380
but you don't have to be ruled by it.

28
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.460
God gave you emotions, but he also gave you wisdom,

29
00:01:22.060 --> 00:01:24.200
self-control, and the power to choose peace.

30
00:01:24.940 --> 00:01:27.040
You are stronger than this moment,

31
00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:29.180
and you don't have to carry it alone.

32
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.980
Ask God for help, for clarity, and for strength.

33
00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:34.960
Let him steady you.

34
00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:36.700
You are not too much.

35
00:01:37.300 --> 00:01:38.760
You are not a ticking time bomb.

36
00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:41.680
You are a human, you are growing,

37
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.060
and you are still deeply loved in the middle of it all.
