What Your Anger is Trying to Tell You

Have you ever considered that your anger is sacred? It’s not something to hide, stuff down, or feel ashamed of. If you’ve tried that (like I have), you know it doesn’t work. 


Pushing it down doesn’t dissolve it — it just buries it deeper, where it can quietly turn into resentment, exhaustion, and even physical or emotional pain.


I’m not saying act out your anger. I’m saying: act from it.

Use it to move forward.

Let it show you what matters.

Let it fuel real change.


Here’s how:


🔥 Get Curious

 Ask yourself: What am I really angry about? What value feels violated here?What feels crossed, ignored, or denied? Often, there’s a truth you’ve been overriding.


🖊️ Write it Out

 Put the unfiltered version on paper. Say what you can’t say out loud. This clears the noise and often can reveal your deeper desires, pain, or purpose.


🚪 Set Boundaries

 Anger can be a signal that you’ve said yes too often, or stayed silent too long. Instead of reacting, take action: speak your truth with calm power, walk away from what drains you, or say “no” where you’ve said “yes” too many times.


🎯 Take One Aligned Action

Don’t spiral — channel. Make the call. Say the thing. Shift the habit. Let anger fuel your courage. Even one small move can release the pressure.


🎨 Create

Creative expression is a powerful way to transmute emotion. Paint, write, move, build something. Creation is a form of release and reclamation.


🙏 Seek Support

Don’t isolate. Talk to a coach, therapist, or wise friend who can help you process your emotions. My own personal comfort ritual is snuggling with my two rescue dogs.


Anger isn’t wrong. It’s a messenger. Listen to it — then let it lead you into alignment, not destruction.
