Irritation and anger
When a boundary is crossed and strong energy rises inside.
How it usually shows up
- Heat in the chest and face
- Sharpness in the voice
- The urge to answer immediately
What is happening
Anger signals a crossed boundary or a clash with your values. It gives energy for protection, but in an impulse that energy usually destroys more than it helps.
Working with anger is not suppression but a pause between impulse and action: first let the body discharge, then understand what exactly was touched.
Three first steps right now
- Pause for one to three breaths before answering.
- Discharge the body: brisk walking, shaking, a strong exhale.
- Ask: which of my boundaries has just been crossed?
