Re: Noticing my anger

I hope you will be well in your search for unmelted chocolate, @lobster...

I am exactly the same @Kerome . When I get angry I think I am a bad person and I beat myself up about it.

A good practice I found (but don’t often enough use) is to welcome the anger like an old friend and invite it in for a cup of tea. Funny how quickly it scuttles away....

If not careful anger will drink your tea, add sugar and drink your boiling blood. Naughty anger!

Many people, I am one, are unaware of the difference between aggression, anger and assertiveness.

I had to return some chocolate that had melted. Had a piece missing and been hastily repackaged. It also seemed badly manufactured. 'Taste the difference' from Sainsburys.

It went back after the driver insisted it could not be returned after payment. Not worth being bullied over? The principle matters? Not worth the aggravation?

Tee hee! It will be resolved. I am Tara Durgha. Chocolate is life.

Did I go wrong again?

Had a similar experience in the USA many years ago.

We were trying to get out of Birmingham, Alabama but the GPS kept directing us on to a freeway that hadn't been built yet!

This morning I had an early appointment with a doctor, only to find that I had been directed to an office which was still under construction... there were labourers busy with plasterboard, planks being sawed, desks being constructed... but no doctors. And so there I was with my sleepy head.

It reminds me of years ago when British tourists were booking holiday hotels in Spain and on arriving at their destination... the builders were still busy building the hotel ...
