I am so pissed that you are making me responsible for my anger!
THIS!: Frustration is a warning sign, not so much that we feel powerless, but that we are neglecting to use our power, our voice.
You flipped the common conception on its head.
Anger is most often described as the emotion we feel when our agency is stripped from us (usually something external).
Where you described anger as a signal that YOU are not embracing your agency (your voice).
This idea is such an original thought. I’ve never seen it anywhere. Thanks for helping me understand that my anger is an invitation to agency, not a the other way around!
*takes bow* I love that you integrated the word agency because that was 100% what I was trying to get at with different wording. It's something I'm trying to learn/apply to myself much more - which hopefully helped it come across clearer. Because the more agency I use, I think the less frustration I'll fall into.
