Affirmations for Managing Anger/Rage
For most of my life, I have been perceived as the calm and collected friend in my inner circles. People could rely on me when 3 out of 5 friends would turn a good night sour because of unspoken social anxieties or becoming too wasted.
As year 32 sets in, I feel myself becoming this other version of myself. The one who cries when she sees people chanting in unity at a protest and the one who has seen too much continue to bury feelings. Anger has been an emotion I rarely engage with, and I can admit this feeling is uncomfortable. To sit with darkness and claim it as something of my own. I have this slow, festering ball of built-up anger and no idea how to express it.
This month has been about femme rage because every spooky season needs a woman behaving badly, but more importantly, femme fatale movies are a safe way for me to engage with my rage. I love seeing consuming media about bad bitches living their bad bitch lives. So, in the spirit of safely engaging with emotions, here are some affirmations I have found helpful for dealing with my anger.
