Transforming Anger, using “The Slow Turn”

We can’t usually get out of our funk until we get righteously angry. Then, as we start feeling all that anger, we storm around channeling all that power into getting things done that we had previously stalled on.

Any time we become aware of anger, irritation or frustration building up, it’s usually because the direction our spirit wants to go appears blocked. Then it’s time to do the slow turn:

1. Slowly turn around the circle of your life looking for what you don’t want to keep putting up with in the same old way anymore.
2. When you find it, ask yourself, “If I don’t want to keep putting up with this, what do I want?” This is the most difficult part of the equation
3. Once you decide: Commit to it with the kind of certainty that you believe the sun’s coming up tomorrow. Nothing happens until you commit.
