Yes, You Have Every Right to be Angry But . . .By Jim Donovan (about the author) Page 1 of 1 page(s) For Futurehealth: Jim Donovan - Writer "I
have every right to be angry!" How many times have you said this or something
similar? You rant on in righteous anger about how so and so or such and such
wronged you or how "they" should do something about ___________. You'll
defend your position no matter what the cost. You'll tell anyone who will
listen your tale of woe, and if you are lucky, you can even get a group of
people talking about your issues. It's
easy. All you have to do is start to complain about some injustice, real or
imagined, and before too long, other people will join in. They'll emphasize
with you and may even add their own story to fuel the fire. If you doubt this,
just listen to almost any group of people discussing a current issue. There
is one problem with this entire scenario. The injustices that you are talking about;
the bad service you received in a restaurant or whatever is the source of your
anger, you are in a vibrational match to the negative situation. You're
vibrating in harmony with something you do not want and from that point of attraction,
you can only attract more of it. But,
you argue, I have to talk about it. Maybe, maybe not but, this is important;
you do not have to dwell on the situation. While there may not be anything
wrong with expressing anger, there is absolutely no value in maintaining this
emotional state. Whenever
you are in a heightened emotional state, good or bad, you are attracting the same
or similar conditions. Knowing
this, why would you want to keep replaying a negative situation? Acknowledge
the situation, maybe even allow yourself to feel angry or upset by it, but then
move on. Reach for a thought that feels better than the one you're thinking.
Replaying unpleasant events from the past has absolutely no value in the
present moment. All it will do is keep you stuck and recreate more of the same.
Remaining
angry at someone was like letting them live "rent free" in your head. The
next time you find yourself in a situation that can set you off, acknowledge it
and then let it go. Either find something good in the situation or just replace
the thought with a thought of something you do want. Simply
go, in your mind, to some place, real or imagined, that feels good and remain
there for about 30 seconds basking in the good feelings. That is usually
sufficient to change your emotional state to one that is more productive.
Remember the wise suggestion from the Abraham Hicks work; the most important
thing is that you feel good. It's
really that simple. If you are feeling good, everything is flowing and you are
attracting your desires. Anything less, and you are shortchanging yourself. Remember,
"As you sow, so shall you reap." Bible, Galatians VI
