Anger isn't bad, it's information.
It's your mind and body waving a red flag
saying something isn't right here.
The question isn't, should I be angry?
But what's my anger trying to tell me?
Are you feeling unheard, overwhelmed,
disrespected, underappreciated?
Anger is often a surface emotion covering something deeper.
And if you keep stuffing it down,
it doesn't disappear, it just builds.
But if you explode, you don't feel better either.
The key is creating space before reacting.
Take a deep breath, literally.
Walk away, count to 10.
You could try splashing cold water on your face
or moving your body, rubbing your hands together.
For some people, they like to rub their fingertips
up and down their arms.
The reason we do this is your nervous system
needs a reset before your brain can think clearly.
So then ask yourself, is this really about this moment
or something deeper going on?
If it's a small frustration, release it.
If it's a real issue, face it with clarity, not chaos.
You're allowed to feel anger.
God gave us anger as a signal,
but you don't have to be ruled by it.
God gave you emotions, but he also gave you wisdom,
self-control, and the power to choose peace.
You are stronger than this moment,
and you don't have to carry it alone.
Ask God for help, for clarity, and for strength.
Let him steady you.
You are not too much.
You are not a ticking time bomb.
You are a human, you are growing,
and you are still deeply loved in the middle of it all.
