Personal Development and Happiness: Releasing Anger
In personal development, one of the main goals is to achieve happiness. What often stands in the way are negative emotions that linger on. Most people have some of these emotions, either repressed or lasting with no outlet. Some are low level, some are strong.
Recognising that you have this sadness or anger bottled up inside you, or dealing with lower level emotions are articles that can be found on the Urban Monk website. I am focusing on letting out anger on this article because I feel it is one of the worst. It is crippling; it colours everything you do in your life and is often linked with depression.
Anger is crippling
I used to suffer from massively pent-up emotions; while I was often described as a teddy bear guy, I had massively pent-up anger and to a lesser extent, sadness. When I blew up, I blew up. I became verbally abusive and irrational often this would only be shown to, and therefore unintentionally hurt, the people who love me the most and are the closest to me. This led to a deep depression that lasted for more then a year and badly deteriorating physical health.
So trust...
