What's your tipping point? Your toddler knocking over the cat litter? Your preschoolers or school aged children arguing over legos? Your teenagers leaving the kitchen a mess? Your young adult children turning night into day? The irreverent treatment of people, animals, the earth? Politics?? Injustice?? As women, we’ve culturally and historically been taught to suppress our emotions...Especially ANGER! Instead, we turn anger toward ourselves, which can result in headaches, depression, shoulder pain, teeth grinding, backaches…. Does this sound familiar? Even then, we often choose to suffer because we don’t make the connection. At the other end of the spectrum is exploding through words we later regret. So...What do we do with anger? First, we can understand it as a healthy response and emotion. Second, try THIS! ROAR! A roar comes from the belly. It’s LOW & DEEP.
Where to roar? In a field, the woods, the backyard, the shower..anywhere….. You might get some funny looks from your kids or partner...or maybe they’ll join you in a wild lion’s chorus! Roaring releases anger in a healthy way. It doesn’t hurt anyone. And very often...it turns to laughter! A ROAR a day keeps the aches & pains away!
