I’m quick to anger. I lack patience. There’s my dark side. I’ve gotten better with driving – not getting so worked up if someone goes too slow or cuts me off. We all have a dark side, and we should all work on it for our own well-being as well as those around us.
The only way to bring them out into the light is to acknowledge them. Once you’re more self-aware, you can catch yourself when that side wants to burst out.
Full disclosure…I haven’t quite mastered this skill. I can get annoyed if I drop a pen. It could be pent-up rage from childhood coming out, I don’t know. I’ve been in therapy for years, and I’ve improved many things in my life, but I can’t shake this one.
What are YOUR methods of conquering your demons? I wonder if going into a room by myself & screaming into a pillow might help…..♥
Stay tuned
