Choosing Love While in Anger

Choosing Love While in Anger

So, to all of you who think I walk on a cloud, I want you to know that I am constantly choosing. :-D

**Which means...**

Life brings many gifts, which sometimes look like curses—especially when the button is pushed without your expectations.

Myself, I had some recent events that sent me into days, I mean **days**, of anger.

I could not shake it.

I looked at it, analyzed it, did all the right things I knew to do, but could not shake it. It was like I had stepped into a bear trap that was latched, and I did not know how to get out.

So, in my process, and knowing I live by my understanding of Love, this is definitely not the way to be... To be in the moment of Love is where I am to be... **not in the moment of anger!!! No way.**

Without knowing how to shake it, I surrendered to it and meditated on Love—breathing Love in and breathing Love out, nothing more.

While washing dishes and being aware of my thoughts—yes, being aware is very important—I saw where my thoughts were taking me. They were rambling into more anger, each point going to the next.

At this awareness, realizing I really needed help, I said:

**I LET GO OF THIS, AND I LET GOD. I CHOOSE TO BE WHO I AM. I CHOOSE TO BE LOVE, TO ACT IN LOVE, TO BE LOVE TOWARDS EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING, ESPECIALLY TO MYSELF. I CANNOT BE LOVE IF I AM CARRYING ANGER. ANGER IS THE DESTROYER. I WILL NOT ALLOW THAT TO BE IN MY BODY OR LIFE... SO I LET GO AND LET GOD HELP ME TO BE ME. I CHOOSE ME. I CHOOSE LOVE.**

I took a deep breath and started acting... Yes, just releasing did give me the power to act and be in Love... **AND** I felt Love coming into me. It was wonderful.

As the day went on and my husband came home, he became the primary focus of my anger. When the anger tried to show its face to me again, I took a deep breath and chose loving action, saying, “I will not allow this anger to destroy me.”

The simple act of choosing to Love really lightened me up, and soon I forgot what I was angry about.

Later, because I had let go of it, I was actually able to see what I was really angry about and talk about it, in a loving way, with my husband.

It was wonderful, truly wonderful—the **FREEING** experience and the feeling all over my body of releasing this anger, and the joy and happiness that filled me and our relationship because of letting go and choosing Love.
