Yesterday, I had to deal with anger.
Yep—anger came to visit. Uninvited, as usual. And as always, it caught me off guard.
Now, I’ve spent a good chunk of my life being told things like:
“Monica is hot-tempered.”
“You’re too angry.”
“Why do you overreact so much?”
And to be fair, they weren’t wrong. I could go from zero to one hundred in a hot second.
But here’s what turned things around:
✔️I stopped trying to suppress it.
✔️I stopped being ashamed of it.
✔️I started listening to it.
I learned that anger isn’t something to fear or fix. It’s information.
It’s the soul’s way of flagging something that needs attention.
Now—nobody likes to be around anger.
We’re told to hide it, manage it, neutralize it.
(I even went to anger management once. Waste of time. Hockey puck.)
