✨ A note from Guido
Owning Your Anger (And Everything Else)
This week, I got really angry. Twice. Super angry.
The first time, I completely lost myself in the anger. It happened over WhatsApp. The anger took over, and I typed message after message - pointless words, solely meant to prove I was right. I wasn't the owner of my anger; my anger owned me. Sure, I was aware I was angry, but the anger had more influence over me than I had over it.
My second anger attack, fortunately, went very differently. I was immediately conscious of the anger! I was instantly the owner. I embraced the anger. I knew that anger lasts no more than 18 seconds. Anger is a trigger to help you stay aligned. So when you get angry, something is happening that's pulling you out of alignment.
Without ownership, people cannot change.
I'm talking about ownership of who you are in your totality. We've become incredibly skilled at not embracing the things we're unhappy with. We rationalize them away.
But here's what I learned again this week: the moment I owned my anger - truly claimed it as mine without letting it claim me - I had a choice. That's where transformation lives. Not in pushing emotions away, but in standing with them as their conscious witness.
This pattern shows up everywhere.
In this week's blog, I dive deeper into how we let imagined danger run our lives. When we're constantly in survival mode, reacting to threats that aren't really there, we're essentially letting our fear own us - just like I let my anger own me in that first WhatsApp exchange. We haven't yet accepted our own anxiety, so it becomes the owner instead of us. The blog explores how to shift from being lived by imagined danger to consciously creating from your True Self.
A question for you this week:
What owns you that you haven't yet owned? Is it anger, fear, or perhaps something else entirely?
Have a beautiful week.

It’s remembering something that once hurt."
