12/26/19 – Hey, you’re angry, and hopefully you’re not angry at me. If you’re angry, then you’re probably not in the mood for jokes, so let’s stay away from those for now. You’re either angry at someone, something, or some situation. Before you read the rest of this post, take some deep breaths… Go on… I’m waiting… How many breaths did you take? Take some more… Good, now on to the next step. Tense up parts of your body starting at your toes and making your way up to your head. Hold it for at least 10 seconds before moving on to the next body part (idk if this works, but it at least relaxes your muscles).
Let your soul step out of your body. You are no longer [insert your name here]. Now you are the universe. Go through the series of events. What led to what led to what? If a person made you mad, put yourself in their shoes (I’m not advocating for them, just go along with it for now). What were their reasons for doing what they did? Is that person also frustrated by something? That person is probably not entirely in their right mind, either. Analyze things from this perspective. If you’re angry about something or some situation, put yourself in the same place. Separate yourself and observe from the outside. You are still the universe. How much control did [insert your name here] have in the situation. Is there anything you could have done to avoid the situation (now you know what do/not to do)? Did you know things were going to turn out this way (well, now you know, and that’s a good thing)? How much impact does it have on the things to come? Is there anything you can do about those things to come?
Did an opportunity close for you? There’s a thing called the Nova Effect. If you haven’t heard of it, look it up. Everything happens for a good reason, and I follow that religiously. The world is so vast, and you only know a mere fraction of it. Go look for more. I promise you, there is something out there for you. You are so capable, and I’m telling you that whatever opportunity turned you down is not ready for your awesomeness.
