Things that activate our anger response might not always be what we’d predict to be triggers. 😯
Â
While sometimes there are more obvious anger instigators, such as someone cutting you off in traffic or if a salesperson is rude to you, other times the things that bring out anger can be more subtle.
Â
For example, not finishing my to-do list always used to leave me with the uncomfortable feeling of a constant sense of urgency.
Â
This would then be coupled with my thought that there never was enough time for me to finally relax or ever have fun.
Â
This urgency would continue to build and resulted in me reacting with anger when anyone seemed to obstruct my ability to finish tasks, including towards my kiddos.
Â
So, that sense of urgency ultimately had an effect on how I showed up with my parenting and was underlying the anger.
Â
I was often times overly strict as a way of compensating for feeling a lack of control in other areas of my life. 😟
Â
So what was the first step I took to stop this habitual reaction?
Â
I built my Awareness.
Â
