How to recognize and welcome in the things that make you angry

What makes you mad? How do you talk to yourself when you get angry? In today’s meditation, we take a few minutes to reflect on something that consistently gets us “riled up.” It doesn’t have to be the most passionate anger; just a behavior, situation or treatment that makes you mad. Imagine that feeling is a little kid: a sweet, innocent, loving, and ANGRY child who just wants to be HEARD! How would you comfort them? Sometimes all they need to hear is, “you’re right… that sucks… and I still love you.”

Over time, the anger starts to realize that it doesn’t have to shout as loud to get your attention. You’ll listen right away and take action to defend, love and care for that little child who’s being hurt.
