Whenever you feel ANGRY, you’re angry with a person or a troubling event.
You are upset with them, about how things went, and simply want to vent.
When you feel anger, your blood starts to boil, you feel the anger in your heart.
Anger, is an emotion, that can quickly gain momentum, right from the start.
If you realize, that now is not a good time for anger to visit, you need to intercede.
Acknowledge its presence, and reassure it that you’re safe, and then try to proceed.
If you do not acknowledge the emotion at the time, it will not just go away, or leave.
That anger will be bottled up, your brain will shut down, and you will never achieve.
Sometimes the time is right, you decide to address the anger, right at that moment.
Always view anger as something that you feel, and not as your enemy or opponent.
Sometimes we will get worked up, overact, and then do things, that we later regret.
This is because your amygdala viewed it as something very dangerous, or a threat.
Your amygdala will listen to you, and only you, so let it know you are in charge.
It doesn’t matter if your ANGER is very little or if is out of control and very large.
Be aware of times you’re angry, and try to consider it from another point of view.
This will allow you to look at things clearly, so there isn’t anything you can misconstrue.

PERSPECTIVE AND IDENTITY
If I see a six, and you see a nine; No perspective, needs a redefine. Perspective, lies in the beholder. Each is found, above the shoulder.
FREE TO LIBERATE
Every American has the liberty to simply choose. Too many give that right up, for too many views. Your choice might not be the same, as my choice. Your choice isn’t better, making me lose my voice.
CENSORING MY VOICE
Don’t silence my voice, if it’s different than you. My opinions are many, they are not just a few. How can I stay quiet, when i was mistreated? The silent, give it permission, to be repeated.
EFFORT ITSELF
Any effort starts with the decision to just try. Effort requires energy, for us to then apply. A decision of effort, starts inside of our brain. The brain’s nueroplasticity, is what we’ll gain.
GET A GRIP ON YOUR GRUDGE
It is a hard feeling, when you hold a grudge. You can’t let go of the past, and won’t budge. All of the future is blurry because of the past. They blur together, as time has then amassed.
THE COLORS WE ALL SEE
You will always see color, and me, will just the same. Our eyesight doesn’t need adjustment, or reframe. Color is something, we all see, with some emotion. The colors we see, set our emotions, into motion.
OPEN YOUR MIND
Everyone has different beliefs, all felt in the heart. First, you have beliefs, they make you fall apart. Untrue beliefs, are confronted from the very start. Understanding your current thinking, plays a part.
PARENTS AS ARTISTS
When your child is born, they are simply a blank slate. They are but a canvas, for your artwork to demonstrate. Artwork, is not a duplication, but an opportunity for art. No formula or directions are given, right from the start.
