3. Thanks for all the feedback on last week’s video. And now, here is another one that I hope will help. In it I ask the question of how you want to look back on this challenging period in a year’s time. The video also contains a lovely mediation imagining us all when this situation has passed. And it will. 

I am here to support your emotional response to the collective challenge we all face. 

It is my job to ensure that your mindset is as positive, calm and strong as it can be to ensure your immune system is working at it’s optimum and is in the best position to reject the virus.  As my sister said, it is everyone’s duty to do their best “to be a barrier, not a carrier”! How we behave now has an impact on everyone. Never before has the inter-connectedness of the world been so clear to so many.

Love and much light,

Fiona

Testimonial from The Positive Habit online programme:

“This course is very powerful which helped me through a period of anxiety and allowed me gain perspective again. I have since changed jobs and have noticed that I now respond to stressful situations differently, remaining calm. I am much more aware of my stress triggers and have incorporated the positive pause into my daily routine.”

The Positive Habit Weekly Blog – 2nd March, 2020 – Understanding Anger!

“When a man gives way to anger, he only harms himself.”

Mahatma Ghandi

Understanding Anger – anger is one of the most powerful of emotions and the physical toll it takes on us when we feel it is huge. It is primitive and often what triggers it is unconscious. Being angry impacts on our autonomic nervous system and it can feel as frightening as if a hungry tiger is about to pounce on us. It is also very hard to be the target of someone else’s anger and this can also engender feelings of fear.

We are often more afraid of our own anger than that of other people.

You may have heard that getting angry at someone is like holding a hot coal in the palm of your hand – it only burns yourself, or that being angry is like drinking poison and expecting the target of your anger to become ill. Understanding this intellectually is one thing, but living it is another, like many of the concepts surrounding emotional intelligence.

Like all emotions, anger has an important role to play. Our job is not to judge or fear emotions but to understand them as fully as we can.

To quote Gandhi again, “Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.”  To understand we need to be present, we need to listen, we need to know what is driving the anger in this situation and this requires self-knowledge.

Anger usually stems from two main areas:

1. Injustice – both on a personal and societal level. For example, when you were a child your younger sibling never had to help around the house which was unfair and made you feel less important. Or, on a societal level, you may doing all you can to make ‘greener’, more environmentally sound choices but your neighbour makes no effort and carries on polluting regardless.

2. Fear – you may have been hurt in the past and now use anger as protective energy to keep the same thing from happening again. On an emotional level, perhaps an ex-partner cheated on you and now you have trust issues so you overreact and get angry if your new partner forgets to call or is late. Here anger and possessiveness does not protect you but could actually jeopardise your relationship.

This week, give some consideration to when, why and how you feel and express anger. Are you afraid of it? Does it flare up uncontrollably within you?

I’ll be on the Dermot and Dave Show on Today FM this morning at 10.30am talking in more detail about anger and how you can manage it. Please tune in if you can.

THANK YOU so much to the people who came to my workshop at the buzzing Thrive Festival in Dublin’s National Convention Centre on Saturday last – you are an amazing group of people! I really enjoyed it and hope I helped the group with practical tools to feel calmer and happier.

By the way, tickets are selling fast for the ‘This is Me’ event on March 26th, so do book soon if you can make it.

Sending love and light as always,

Fiona

Positive Pause – 7th March 2016 – Thinking Outside Yourself

Large sunflower - think outside yourselfAs the evenings are becoming brighter, if you find the opportunity to go for a walk one evening this week, take it! A gentle, solitary stroll where you focus all of your attention outside yourself on what you can see, hear and smell is a good mental workout to calm a busy mind after a stressful or long day. By choosing to use your focus in this way, you will be open to a general sense of calm and well-being.  You may even allow yourself to experience the wonder of hearing the birds sing at twilight.
