Be at peace with anger

It's ok to be angry - it's what you do with the anger that matters. Anger helps us. With it we can set boundaries and define our values. Acting out in passive aggressive behavior does nothing to honor this. Be direct and honest about what makes you angry and target the value not the "thing." Use it to recognize that something is not OK. However, if you gossip, communicate with sarcasm or turn off listening, you will gain nothing. Take a moment to be at peace with what makes you angry and learn from it.

What Kind of Message Are You Sending?

When we are in a negative state, it doesn't matter what we say - people will still feel our negativity.  You can say "yes" to people but, if you are coming from a place of "no" people will get a sense that you are saying no anyway.   Are you not engaged with them?  Are you holding back?  Have you stopped giving to them?   Better to open up, be honest.  They will misinterpet the body language if you don't let them know what's going on with you.  No matter how much you think you are hiding, people still see you.
