Often a lot more to the emotion anger

Below is the infographic ' the Anger Volcano' which illustrates what happens when we don't have the skill to regulate anger.

There are some things that are just out of your control

Here are three simple steps you can take to invite more emotional agility into your life each day.

1. Label your emotions.

The accurate labeling of our emotions—what psychologists call emotional granularity—is absolutely critical to our wellbeing. When you label an emotion precisely, it’s easier to discern its exact cause and identify healthy coping mechanisms. If a prompt would be helpful, you might try setting a daily reminder in your phone to consider what you are feeling.

2. Practice gentle acceptance.

Witnessing our emotional experiences with non-judgment and self-compassion is an essential part of showing up for ourselves. When you’re no longer fighting your emotions, you are more able to just be with them. If you’re struggling to access self-compassion, it might be helpful to look at yourself from a different angle. Try to reconnect with your child self. What does the child within you need right now?

3. Live your values.

By showing up to a difficult experience and accepting it, we grant ourselves the freedom to move beyond it and live into our values. What is the next values-aligned action you can take?
