Reasoning With Hate Mood
Monday, July 14, 2008 | A General Update story
Okay so I dealt with my feelings of extreme anger today by firstly accepting the feelings as a natural response to the abuse, I did struggle with the violent thoughts, digging deep within to reason with my thoughts and images of potential violence. I think I did okay cos I'm not as angry as I was in the morning. I used positive self'talk and asked God for help to stop me from being a violent person, I also used my affirmations as a means to keep my self'esteem at a positive level. I am hopeful that I can break the violent thoughts by consistently reasoning with the anger. I'm not interested in ever becoming so violent, it's not the kind of person I am, however I am also aware of the dangers of abuse and I will never accept the abuse for the sake of overcoming my anger.
