Anger. Is it really as bad as people think? Are angry people full of rage, violence, and hate? Should we avoid them? What if you are them? What if you feel unexplained anger? Does it make you a bad person?
If we start to dissect the scale of emotions we find that anger actually isn’t the worst thing a person can feel, and it’s definitely not the lowest emotion. The lowest emotions a person can ever have are powerlessness and fear.
Why? Because we are powerful creators and we are pure love. You can never run out of love to give because that is what you are to your core. Love is infinite and so are you. So when we feel powerless is it the farthest you can be from the truth and that’s why it feels so awful to be there.
Now follow me on this… The source of all things, the creative energy that made you and is flowing through you at all times, is constantly pulling you towards your highest feeling emotion; your true real essence, which is love, joy, and feelings of total empowerment.
So how do you get from powerlessness to feeling empowered? Well, you’ve to get through the entire scale of emotions, and this is were anger comes in.
The hierarchy of emotions (from highest to lowest) looks like this:
- JOY / EMPOWERMENT
- Passion
- Enthusiasm
- Optimism
- Hopefulness
- Contentment
- Boredom
- Pessimism
- Frustration
- Overwhelm
- Disappointment
- Doubt
- Worry
- Blame
- Discouragement
- Anger
- Revenge
- Hatred
- Jealousy
- Insecurity
- FEAR / POWERLESSNESS
The lower parts of the scale are where sadness and depression reside. It feels so bad to be there because it’s so far away from where you are designed to be which is at the top of the scale.
You can always see this to be true when you observe young kids. They are almost always at the top of the scale and if they do fall lower, they find their way back to the top quickly and mostly easily. They don’t spend a lot of time worried or doubtful, mostly they feel joy, love, and passion for all things.
So when you feel powerless and insecure you’ll surely start to feel jealously creeping in shortly after because that is a better feeling place than powerlessness, it’s the natural next step.
Your inner being is literally calling you up the scale of emotions to your powerful natural state. So when you start to feel anger creep it feels better because it allows you to feel a bit of your own power.
This is why sometimes you’ll find yourself picking a fight with someone when you feel down. It’s your way of getting yourself out of that low place, and in that moment it may feel like your only way out. You might even start to blame another person for your bad feelings and now you know for sure you are on your way up!
As you start to recognize the feelings you are feeling and what comes next you’ll stay in the lower places for shorter periods of time and get up the scale faster.
It’s not really possible to be flying high all the time. Most of us will fluctuate within this scale everyday, but you have all the control.
You can choose to stay in your angry or you can choose to utilize it as the stepping stone that is.
Acknowledge the anger and never shame yourself for feeling angry. Then feel yourself stepping back into power and move on to where your actual power is; in your unlimited ability to feel joy and love for all that is.
