“Dear self, Don’t get worked up over things you can’t change,
or people you can’t change. It’s not worth the anger build
up or the headache. Control only what you can. Let go.” Unknown
What good is getting ourselves all worked up or angry over something
or what someone said to us? A little righteous indignation over an
injustice can be a good thing and anger can be a useful tool at the
right time and place and when used in the right way to help keep us
focused and on track when we need the fuel. But when we feel the
anger boiling up within us or we feel ourselves getting worked up that
is not the time to burst out or boil over. Save that feeling and energy
for when we need it. Practice restraint. Exercise patience. Say hello
there anger, I recognize you and I welcome you but now is not the
time there will be a time later but not now. Let us move on together or
try a different path for now. Then coolly calmly collectively calculate
your path and plan and prepare for the future. We may just find the
anger goes away or we overreacted for no good reason, or we were
mistaken. It also helps not to take everything personally because it’s
not always about us.
