I have found that when we're angry, we need to go to the exact opposite place, which is compassion and empathy. Love on yourself. Do something kind.
Anger can feel like a constant companion when someone you love is battling addiction. Michelle Anderson, the host of 'Love Over Addiction', gets it. In this episode, she tackles the tough emotions head-on and offers five practical tips to help you manage your anger in healthier ways. She starts by addressing the common feelings of anger and rejection that arise when a loved one chooses substances over their relationships.
It's a raw and real acknowledgment that you're not alone in feeling this way. Michelle then busts the myth that venting anger is helpful. Contrary to popular belief, letting off steam can actually fuel your rage rather than soothe it. So, what's the alternative? Michelle's got you covered with her five actionable tips. From taking deep breaths and stepping away from heated situations to using tools like books and music, she provides a toolkit for managing those fiery emotions.
She also highlights the benefits of yoga, meditation, and prayer as ways to find inner peace. But it's not just about calming down; it's about self-care and compassion too. Michelle encourages you to be kind to yourself and others, reminding you that empathy can be a powerful antidote to anger. This episode isn't just about coping; it's about finding joy and peace amidst the chaos.
Michelle's heartfelt advice serves as a gentle reminder that while anger is a natural response, it doesn't have to control your life. Tune in for a dose of wisdom and practical strategies that can make a real difference.
