“Anger is not the enemy. It’s a boundary drawn in fire — asking to be seen before it can soften.”
You were told not to be angry.
That it made you unkind, ungrateful, unspiritual.
But anger is sacred when it speaks the truth.
*This hurt me.*
*This crossed a line.*
*This must never happen again.*
When anger is listened to — not repressed, not unleashed — it transforms.
It becomes clarity. It becomes a boundary. It becomes peace.
Sacred peace isn’t born of pretending nothing’s wrong. It’s born from truth that’s been fully seen.
So today, let your anger speak.
Let it burn away confusion.
Let it lead you to the calm that lives on the other side of honesty.
Sit with both feet grounded. Breathe deeply and bring to mind a situation that stirred deep anger. Instead of judging it, listen. Ask: 'What is this anger trying to protect?' Then say inwardly: 'I hear you. Thank you.' Stay for a few minutes, breathing into the clarity it brings.
Write a list titled 'What My Anger Wants Me to Know.' Let it speak without filter. Then read it aloud in a safe space. Finish by writing one small action you can take to honor what that anger revealed.
Sean D. “I’d always been ashamed of my anger. I thought it meant I was failing at healing. But when I finally listened to it — without letting it take over — I found so much wisdom in it. It wasn’t rage. It was protection. And once I heard it, I could finally let it go.”
You’re allowed to feel the fire — and still choose peace afterward.
