Anger And Frustration

A meditation for parents and caretakers. Anger is the reflection of sadness and hurt. Frustration is the manifestation of fear and confusion. Take a deep breath, give yourself permission to feel these emotions and the space to move past them. When we are able to see them as they truly are, we can deal with them and proceed with love, compassion and forgiveness.

Transcript

Anger is nothing more than the outward expression of hurt,

Fear and frustration.

Anger will happen.

It will come when you least expect it.

It will come in the moments of spilled milk,

Of lunches left uneaten,

Of potty training accidents,

Of projects left too late.

Anger and frustration will happen.

It's okay.

There is no sense beating yourself up because you are angry.

There is no sense beating yourself up because you are frustrated.

Forgive yourself.

Forgive yourself and let go.

Be gentle and kind with yourself in moments of anger and frustration.

You are doing the best that you can.

Replace those moments of anger and frustration with gratitude.

Extend loving kindness to yourself.

Know in your heart that being angry over arguments,

Over dinner,

Over bedtime,

Forgive yourself.

It's okay.

You're allowed to be angry.

What's important is that you don't let the anger control you.

Hold on to the beautiful experiences.

Have gratitude for the negative ones,

Recognizing their balance,

Recognizing the lessons within.

It's okay.

Look into your anger and your frustration with kindness.

Uncover what is really going on.

Feel the emotions as they come in waves,

In crashes.

And then let them go.

Anger is nothing more than an outward expression of hurt and of fear.

And it's okay.

Needed to hear this after spending a couple of days crying and fuming over a grave identity crisis

This was really helpful to make me slow down, accept my anger and frustration, and also to look beneath it to the root of the problem. I love the bells, the gentle pacing, the understanding, and the kindness. ❤️

Although not a parent, I found this practice helpful in seeing what was beneath my anger. Thank you 🥰

This gave me such a release from my anger and frustration. I needed that ! Thank you.

Very soothing. Balm for rattled nerves. I read somewhere that anger can also be instructive, ( if we can delve deeper later) and can be an expression of a felt lack of control over expectation versus reality. Sometimes self protective, sometimes egoic, sometimes activating triggers, and often highly contagious. Definately worth unpacking.

A soothing and helpful meditation. Just what I needed. Thanks so much Shannon 💚✨💚
