Our next blog posting is about ANGER.
Yes, we all feel it, some more than others. It is the response to built-up frustration, the experience of having one's sense of personal power denied or infringed upon.
Anger also is a result of loss.
So, how do you handle ANGER?, do you stuff it? Blast someone? do you lie to yourself and others, saying you are not angry when you are?
KEEP POSTED.
Lots of love Melanie xx
