Anger and Resentment; Don’t drink the Witches’ Brew.
Anger and Resentment
Don’t drink the Witches’ Brew.
Harboring anger and resentment for a person or other challenge, is like creating a witches’ brew for a person, circumstance or thing, but then drinking the potion yourself. It’s like ingesting poison and the consequences affect you and those closest to you.
REVERSING THE SPELL. Next time you feel anger and resentment brewing inside,
- Ask yourself, what is it about the person, thing or circumstance, that is in conflict with my “blueprint” of how I believe the person or circumstance MUST be?
- Then remind yourself that it is much more harmful to hold on to the anger and resentment, than it would be to adjust the blueprint.
- Next, acknowledge full responsibility for your choice to either (a) continue to consume the witches’ brew; or (b) adjust your blueprint; or (c) accept the conflict and forgive if appropriate.
- In accepting full responsibility for the choice you make, you will be reminded that you are solely responsible for the feelings, emotions and actions that arise out of that choice.
- From this place and by choosing to focus on what you are grateful for, who you love and who loves you, you will in essence apply a vanishing spell to reverse the anger and resentment and it will disappear. There is no struggle to reverse the spell; it’s like making the dark disappear by simply flicking on the light switch.
Love yourself enough to do this. You deserve to be free and live in peace. If you feel that badly about someone, don’t invite them reside in your head. Forgive others, because you deserve peace, regardless of what you believe they are entitled to.
TIPS FOR RECOGNIZING ANGER AND RESENTMENT BREWING:
You know when anger and resentment is brewing , when you hear yourself say,
- “if only he would”
- “if only she didn’t”
- “Ya, if I COULD do [that thing that’s good for me] – that would be nice“
- “if I only had . . .”
- or anything in a sarcastic tone could be a good indicator.
CATCH YOURSELF BEFORE YOUR DRINK THE WITCHES’ BREW – BEFORE YOU POISON YOURSELF WITH ANGER AND RESENTMENT AND THE ASSOCIATED THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, EMOTIONS AND ACTIONS.
