A hard part of my journey is still handling my emotions. Being a student of the self-development world and a life coach I get how important that is.
Still, at our core, we are emotional beings and often find ourselves in situations that push us to the brink. Learning to step back and assessing whether it is worth losing my mind over a matter is where the balancing act comes in.
The word of God refers to what we as modern-day Christians have come to call righteous anger (Mark 3:1-5). Now, we need to understand that this type of anger refers to hating what God hates and loving what He loves.
Anger as such is not righteous and only an emotional expression or outlet we choose (consciously or unconsciously) because deep inside we have created the environment for those feelings to grow and flourish in.
As with all the posts in the group, the aim is not to give advice but rather to create a context for us to explore and share our thoughts. That said I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter...
Are you governed by your emotions snapping at the drop of a dime or have you mastered the art of taking a breath, slowing down and assessing the best way forward?
Please feel free to share your thoughts
