Resolving Anger Through Tools to Life – Anger Process and Love Letter

Recently,  I  went through  a bout of  being in  a  funk.  I  realized  I  was angry  at  God.  Fortunately,  I  had  the  tools to life  to  be  able to  work  through  it  and move  on. I  was  able to use the  Anger  Process,  a  love letter  to God  and a  gratitude exercise.  All of  these  left me with the  feeling  of love,  so I  could  more  fully appreciate  what  I do  have.

Here’s how the rap was going in my head: “I’m 67 and I still don’t have the money I want to have at my age. I’ve figured out how to have a successful relationship; I’ve done all this work on myself. I teach Law of Attraction, for goodness sakes but somehow this learning seems to still be eluding me. Blah! Blah! Blah!” My bad attitude was so thick I was almost unable to feel gratitude except as a head exercise I assigned myself in an attempt to get out of and not show my funk.  YUCK!

But all of a sudden when I was playing John Denver’s “Tenderly Calling” in order to drown out the sound of screaming of two of our 4 little kid neighbors, I heard the words of the song, “tenderly calling me home” and “after the tempest is over”, and I realized, “Oh, this is anger. I’m pissed at God.” And even that awareness was enough for  me to start  feeling better.  (I was in a workshop led by John Gray of Men Are from Mars fame in around 1983 where a room full of people did an anger process at God for all our personal disappointments and the mess of the world and it was one the most freeing, loving, spiritual experiences I’ve ever had. That’s how I know God doesn’t care if I get angry. God certainly wants me to feel love but I can’t get there until the anger and all the other gunk is out of

me.)

Now I know that God doesn’t really care if I get mad at Her/Him but I do know that if I

express my feelings fully – anger, hurt, sadness, fears, guilt -  through tools to life I can finally feel love, gratitude and freedom!
