Pivoting From Difficult Emotional States, Day 3: "The Unconditional Heart: Turning Anger into Positive Energy"

Continuing our work with the Third Chakra, today's insight is about channeling your life force, or zest, into positive action. Unaddressed anger can be a powerful but destructive energy. When you feel anger, it's often a sign of a boundary crossed or an unmet need. Spiritually, this is an opportunity to assert your will in a healthy way. Psychologically, studies show that channeling intense emotion into productive, goal-oriented activities (like creative work or exercise) can lead to a state of flow, reducing rumination and increasing feelings of accomplishment.

WELCOME TO THIS WEEK'S SERIES:
