Have you ever felt like wanting to do or say something, but you held back because it wasn’t nice? Many of us act according to how we want to be perceived. We don’t want to be seen as rude, so we suppress our anger.

Countless hours spent studying psychology in university, reading scientific research, and observing myself and others have taught me that mental disorders mostly come from three sources: childhood experiences, violent behavior, and suppressed emotions. That’s why it’s important to channel anger in an expressive and non-violent way.

How to Transform Anger into Power:

1st. Allow yourself to feel the emotion. Anger is a natural reaction to not receiving the results you want. In opposition to emotions like sadness or grief, anger motivates action, therefore it’s more active than passive. What can help you is to acknowledge and accept that feeling. Saying something like “It’s okay for me to be angry” to yourself can help you process that emotion. Allowing yourself to process anger is a crucial step in the process of channeling it in a healthy and productive way.

2nd. Embrace and harness that feeling. Once you have acknowledged and allowed yourself to feel the emotion, it’s important to observe it mindfully with patience. Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present and paying attention to your thoughts and feelings without judgment. When you are mindful of your anger, you can start to gain insight from it. By giving your full attention to the feeling, you can start to see it objectively and harness its power to make a positive change. Instead of being consumed by it, you can use it as a powerful motivator toward action. This can help you gain a sense of control over yourself and act according to your true self.

Anger is a powerful source of energy and a guide to acting on your sense of justice. — Greg Franz F.

By fulfilling these two conditions, the potential for emotion to take control of you will drop substantially, and you’ll gain true power.

The Benefits of Standing Up for Yourself

The next step is to decide to do the right thing. And that means standing up for yourself. If you feel like someone is mistreating you or someone else, express how you feel about it. Taking action on your feelings gives you great strength and transforms you into a more powerful being. Your inner self is the smartest thing in the universe! Emotions are manifestations of the energy that’s in us. To awaken our true selves, we need to act on our emotions in a smart, yet profound and truthful way.

Conclusion

You already know what is true. Your mind contains the most powerful aspect of existence, and that is consciousness. You can take it to the next level by being true to yourself and others.

Emotions are energetic manifestations of information that are meant to motivate us toward action. — Greg Franz F.

You possess the power to unlock the full potential of your being. Consciousness is the most powerful aspect of existence. By being true to yourself and others, you can make your life honest and fulfilling. Remember, emotions are neither good nor bad. They are energetic manifestations of information meant to guide and motivate you toward taking action. Embrace the power of your anger and use it mindfully to propel you toward the life you desire!
