What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

Yard work. Works for me.

Sarcasm is a tool the weak use to avoid confrontation. People with any balls just outright lie.

Climbing works most of the time. Unfortunately some of the people I would often like to tell just how I feel, are those that sign my paycheck.

I usually imagine my anger/frustration as a simple piece of paper. I further imagine that I begin folding the edges of it origami style--making it smaller and smaller. In the end I have a small 1" by 1" piece of bundled paper that represents all the feelings previously mentioned. Then--here comes the good part--I imagine that I eat it and all those feelings of anger/resentment/frustration are tucked away into a little ball in my stomach.

I then squash those feelings further by using a technique called "avoidance"--I don't really recognize that I've become angry or disillusioned.

This has worked wonders for my on the job frustrations and dealing with my boss...


healthy, eh?

As with most things, the challenge is to act with mindfulness.....

Thich Nhat Hanh wrote: Anger. There's a seed of anger in every one of us. There is also a seed of fear, a seed of despair. And when the seed of anger manifests, we should know how to recognize it, how to embrace it, and how to bring [ourselves] relief. When the seed of fear manifests itself as energy in the upper level of our consciousness, we should be able to recognize it, to embrace it tenderly, and to transform it. And the agent of transformation and healing is called mindfulness.
