Two Achilles Heel – impatience and Anger

0n my mind this week is that I have a problem with impatience and anger and call it my Achilles Heel any suggestions on what to do ?

I hope no one ever promised you it would be easy….because the most important journey, my love is done alone. 

You’ll go through phases of sadness when you realize that things should have been different. You’ll struggle with some realities you never knew before. 

You’ll uncover secrets that will leave you wishing had stayed buried. 

But in the end, the journey to finding who you truly are….that starts now, regardless of your past, regardless how you were raised, regardless of previous relationships. 

Right here, in this very moment is where you decide your next step, you decide your story everyday. 

It’s a new day and a brand new beautiful week, so do the necessary work to let go of the past, to use what you learn as possible lessons moving forward, but don’t dwell there. 

Tell your mind to move along. 

Experience the sadness, even the happiness of past memories and then leave them where they are. ~

Anger_

Your soul knows what you need. It knows which way to go. Listen carefully to those uneasy feelings you get. Those are signs. Notice headaches, and if your gut hurts or when you’re extra tired. Certain relationships will become draining. Or you’ll notice you’ve become addicted to their recognition and validation so much that you forget your internal compass. Your soul knows this and will relentlessly steer you to your true path. 

You will likely need to leave a few folks behind because they’ve clipped your wings with assumptions and labels. You’ve played the game for so long that they see you through their eyes, and it isn’t pretty. It’s tinted with pity, envy, jealousy, or anger. This is a sneaky, sticky form of dominance to keep you small. It will hurt when you recognize this, but staying will keep you trapped, and you’ll hurt more.

Best Jay

One thought on “Two Achilles Heel – impatience and Anger

  1. I practice meditation daily. That helps with anger issues. I started doing the meditation practice in the late 1990s.

    I hope that you can find peace and a constructive way to eliminate the anger. One rule I have – never go to bed angry. That affects the blood pressure and can lead to not being able to sleep – in addition to causing heart and stroke issues.
