I think what he is saying is - do something physical that processes out the negative emotions. Do something in the physical realm to relieve stress in the emotional realm.
Yep. Anger, rage, hostility, the usual feelings. But maybe I'd feel better if I followed your lead, went to Alaska, put on an "Amazing Spiderman" T-shirt, and just calmed the Heck down. You spoke true words yet again. Many thanks (and please wear a scarf - It's freaking cold out there!)...
Thanks Rodney Norman. You are the real deal and super fricken awesome! I play with Legos and play computer shooting games. It helps me cool down in a mad world
learn to spit fire...wild turkey whiskey, a large torch, the ability to spit very FAR (important). I'm so relaxed now that I know how to do it. ahhhhh. love ya Rodney!
Heeeey Rodney, Thanks for the video. Life is a blessing. I'm struggling with anger. I've been thinking about why I'm angry and if it makes sense to be angry. I was asking myself, why am I angry? Why does this person anger me? Why are some words that some person said to me making me angry? I started to dig for the thought that was making me angry. I had an insight that my anger must be coming from a specific thought. There must be a specific thought that is at the root of my anger. A specific thought must be charging my anger. The charge is within the root. I'm trying to identify the root of my anger. Maybe the fundamental root of anger is injustice however the deeper root to injustice is unfairness. I wonder if all of the things in life that make you angry have unfairness as their common element. The fundamental root to anger must be unfairness. To understand anger we have to unpack the concept of unfairness. What is unfairness? Unfairness is probably a product of an undeserved consequence while fairness is probably a product of a deserved consequence. Fairness is highly subjective. In the justice system a judge is called upon to decide what is fair. In your own life your cerebral cortex decides on what is fair. Your cerebral cortex uses an algorithm to make decisions about fairness. The cortical algorithm is programmed by experience into a sort of condition state. The cerebral cortex is conditioned by what it experiences. Cortical conditioning is plastic meaning that it is open to change. Cortical conditioning is structured and re-structured through experience. The brain is always in a process of re-structuring. Experience is the substrate of the structure and the re-modeling of the structure is the product of the experience. The directionality of decision making within the cortical algorithm depends on cortical conditioning which is just a type of learning. Cortical conditioning is a type of learning that is open to relearning. If cortical conditioning is a type of learning then education is a type of cortical conditioning. Your judgment of fairness is based on your education. Your judgment of fairness is probably only as good as your education. Highly educated people are favored to make the best judgment of fairness. Your judgment of fairness is based on your cortical conditioning which is based on your education. Basically, if you want to escape the trap of your anger you have to improve your education. Thinking more completely about fairness will help you to dissolve your anger. The completed picture of fairness realizes that people are not at fault for what they did to you so much as nature is at fault. Humans are the fault of nature. Nature is the higher force that humans can never change. You can blame your mother and get mad or you can see your mother and the trauma that she gave you as a marvel of nature and the universe and then your anger is less of your focus. Your goal is to use enlightenment and spiritual awakening and radical acceptance to defocus your anger. Rodney, right now in my recovery from complex PTSD my goal is to re-structure my cortical conditioning so that I can defocus my anger. I'm going to use radical acceptance to re-structure my cortical conditioning. I need to radically accept my narcissist mother and my narcissist family. Inside the space of radical acceptance I will see my family as a marvel of nature which will help me to defocus my anger. In viewing my family as a marvel of nature instead of an intolerable spoil to the perfection of earth I will move closer to acceptance and closer to peace. Radical acceptance requires practice. Practice is repetition. My practice will be to accept things the way that they are. My practice will be to give up control. My practice will be to hold the focus to my projects. My practice will be to remember to repeat. Repetition is the key to cortical re-conditioning. Rodney, together and as a community we will take healing to the ceiling. We are here to heal. We are here to plant seeds and to watch things grow. The growth of our things is a garden. Each human is a garden. The entire collection of gardens is the earth.
Have you ever tried psychedelic mushrooms 🍄 I went threw a depressed angry phase for a few years but then I started to micro dose and I mean take a very very very small piece of a mushrooms every 2 days and I did that for about a month and a half and my life completely changed even fixed my PTSD and MPD and just made my happier and alot of the things that I was letting control my emotions I came to peace with Tham and got over alot of trauma especially childhood trauma so I recommend mushrooms to anyone now I don't sell them and I don't know really where you can get them but if you can give them a try they saved me more than once but hope it all gets better ❤❤ much love✌️
I think if you are not angry at what is happening in the world, you aren’t paying attention, or very in touch with yourself. But like he said, dancing, among other actions, like going out and purposely helping others selflessly, does help a lot. Ok that is all.
You remind me of my uncle, who was very wise, an artist, nature lover, and friend; Dale was sadly murdered by SFPD a few short years ago. And that makes me cry. But Im grateful I knew him, and grateful you, Rodney, are out there on those beautiful salt flats, being wise and living a good life.
Or . . . you could buy some dishes from Goodwill which makes them feel good as well as those they support. Then you could break all the dishes up and take a sad terra cotta pot and make a mosaic pot from the broken dishes which will cheer you and the pot up. Then you could sell them, or better yet, give them away which will make you and the recipient feel better. Remember, even the bad thoughts are just that. Let it go. Let it go. Let it go.
I like running even when I have a gut in my stomach that hurts from pain I run i sprint though I drink at nights which I don’t recommend daily . I run faster sober from the last night
Addressing the problems which face me to my extent possible. (health, home, finance, politics...) Spending time, loving those I love. Then; Sex, drugs, (drinking) Rock n Roll & riding my motorcycle!
Try realizing you're not a Democrat or Liberal anymore, and that that's OK. I find just knowing that is half the battle. You didn't do anything, its just the way things are now.
