Releasing Anger

Posted to by Debbie Ford on Tue, 11/27/2007 - 6:07am

Anger is at the root of our self-sabotaging behaviors and often it comes wearing many disguises. It’s our anger we’re hiding when we work too much or deprive ourselves of rest, love, success or self-care. Our anger manifests itself in our bodies as fatigue, tension, and disease. Until we give our anger a healthy expression, it will continue to express itself in covert ways. When we direct our anger at our ex-partners - whether in the form of silent judgment or overt hostility - it only feeds our rage and perpetuates the cycle of self-sabotage. In this webisode we explore an exercise that offers a healthy way of releasing anger – writing an angry letter to your spouse, and then creating a ritual to free yourself from it. Try it, you’ll be happy you did. To view more of Debbie Ford's Spiritual Divorce Guide, click one of the following: Conquering Loneliness, Finding Forgiveness, Creating a New Future.

Burning a piece of paper will fix this?

I have expressed my anger about divorce-related issues in many ways. I have tried to release it many times, in various ways. I guess I have a lot of anger on many, many seemingly endless levels, because I'm still experiencing it. I'm tired of feeling angry all the time. I'm tired of crying, sobbing my heart out. It's affecting my health and well-being. Things are far from resolved in my divorce process. Perhaps I won't be over the anger until the process if finalized. I have no idea how long that is going to take.
