Thank you for reminding me to journal my feelings rather than to ignore them

Don’t mention it Rhea :). It’s inevitable to feel better after.

This is helpful. This does encourage us to acknowledge our feelings. We don’t put our feelings “in the driver’s seat,” though.

Exactly! Every feeling within healthy proportion :). What other practices keep you grounded?

The process of “drawing a circle around…” specific emotions and being patient and analytical is very helpful.

Righteous anger should meet this criteria by Aristotle, "Anybody can become angry—that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way—that is not within everybody's power and is not easy".

I agree Fernando. It’s exactly what I espouse on my essay ‘On Anger’.

Yea, instead of the news now I just read my substack 'friends'. You'd be supposed how much real news and not fake comes out of our 'voices'!
