Frustrated & Angry

Emotions & Feelings

We all have our reasons for getting frustrated or angry. It happens. It challenges us to confront our feelings at the deepest levels. It can cause us to make irrational and impulsive choices we cannot undo. It can also provide us the opportunity to respond in a way that honors our humanity and ability to use restraint. Whether it is toward others or ourselves, life becomes better when we learn to effectively manage frustration and anger in favor of peace and calm.
