My name is Mikel, and I have issues with Anger.

What might be the cause(s) of my anger?

Remember that something is triggering angry feelings and behaviors. To assess, it helps to think through details carefully: what are the facts of the situation? What is there about the situation that feels unjust, unacceptable, dangerous or unacceptable? What trigger thoughts am I having?

I do not have to permit an amygdala hijacking because I can recognize symptomatic feelings. I want to stay in my cortex by being calm and rational. I do not want to damage my relationship or someone else’s emotional health. I want to keep my cool and preserve my integrity even if it means walking away from this situation. (1)

I'm not happy about losing my temper the other day. I didn't yell and scream at my Love, but
I did show her anger. I have shown her anger several times in our short relationship. I know that I can't blame her for that, but why is it that I don't get angry at other females in my lufe, and just her?

In essence, I can have the power to behave in a calm and respectful way.

Tomorrow I will make chili, my World Famous Chili. This batch is going to have sausage, and shrimp in it. I can not tell you how good that it is going to be. The other night, a friend read to me from a horoscope book the traits of a Gemini. Geminis have a lot of awful things going on about them. It makes me sad because I am a Gemini.
