Anger, Anxiety and Depression - Managing Powerful Emotions In Your Life|Treat Anxiety Naturally





Anger, anxiety and depression are all part of life, just as happiness, peace and joy are outer expressions of the many thoughts and beliefs we have stored in our mind ready to express to the world at the slightest provocation.

In our society we seem to have a habit of categorizing feelings into good or bad rather than just accepting that the one that is currently tainting our perspective of the world just is; without the need for keeping score on our feeling good chart.

It seems that we all have ingrained in ourselves the belief that we need to feel absolutely grand all the time. Anything less makes us feel inferior as if there is something wrong with feeling less than wonderful.

We believe we need to do something about it; rather than simply accepting the way we feel; the result often being an over-magnification of this simple feeling that our mind has just sent as a reminder that something needs to be looked at.

This habit has been capitalized on by the medical industry. It seems that we have become convinced that we are powerless to pull ourselves out of these less than desirable situations. We end up giving our power over to tranquilizers and anti-depressants because we fear doing something irrational or unacceptable.

So when we are feeling angry, anxious or depressed what can we do before the situation gets serious enough that we need to get help from a doctor or counselor?

Can we help ourselves so we can live happier, healthier and more balanced lives?

Gaining a healthy understanding of our own personal power is absolutely essential.

Sometimes due to feelings of inadequacy we feel we have to give our power over to others in order to get through the day. However, if we can accept what is called "dominion" over oneself, we can all get through life better.

Self dominion simply means that every individual owns themselves including their body, their feelings, their emotions and their mind (and anything else commonly included in the package) by birth. No one has the right to override this fact.

Having a sensible and practical understanding of how to effectively play this game of life in a healthy manner is essential to self dominion, so let's look at how we can improve our relationship with our feelings and emotions.

The first point to understand is that everyone has mood shifts. There is not one person alive that does not periodically feel the ravages of anger, anxiety or depression. They are part of life. Getting past the feeling of being the only one who ever suffers from anger, anxiety or depression is so empowering! It might feel like you are the only one suffering, but believe me there are millions of others in the same situation! It is perfectly normal!

Feelings and emotions are presented to you as a tool to help you understand how you are engaging in your world. They are the spice of life! If you can learn to know your feelings and emotions, you can use them to steer your life.

Sometimes, when your life goes far astray, the heavy artillery needs to be called on in order to bring you face to face with an event going on in your life. You find that your emotions are totally consuming and out of your control. You cannot avoid the situation as much as you try. Life situations develop such as relationship issues, illness, accidents, etc. That's when the feelings of helplessness can overwhelm you.

But it is not meant to be that way! Life is supposed to be a manageable event! But you have to know that you are in power, you can manage your feelings and emotions.





And remember to breathe!

Often when people become knocked off center by feelings of anger, anxiety and depression their breathing becomes very shallow and they become paralyzed by the thoughts and feelings. They become so consumed by their thoughts that they literally cannot move or breathe.

If this happens to you- Force yourself to do the opposite. Breathe and move. Even a little forward movement can be enough to break the reaction and start you in a new path. And like I said, focus your mind on what you have chosen to do rather than where your mind is trying to drag you will bring you new freedom.


Being comfortable enough with ourselves so that we can enjoy participating in our feelings and emotions makes life so much more exciting and enjoyable. Being in touch with ourselves lets us enjoy these expressions at a more comfortable level. Does it sound like it is worth the effort?
