So I have a really, really useful exercise that I would like you to do right now. And I'll tell you first about what the exercise is. And then we'll talk about the why of this exercise. What I'd like you to do is I'd like you to think about the purpose that anger serves in your life. What is the positive intention, or the positive game that you intend to get out of anger? And what sometimes is the positive game that you do get up anger.

Anger is a very powerful emotion. And it spends a lot of time defending and protecting us from those emotions that we don't really want to have to feel. It's not generally a first emotion. It's more like a dispense of emotion is the best form of Defense's attack. So for those people who feel a lot of anger, there's a lot of reasons why we might start to use anger as a methodology and a behavioral technique to serve a purpose for us. So if you think this might be difficult, let me give you a few examples.

I used to suffer terribly from anger. And probably one of my greatest reasons for going to anger was as to things. I had this belief that the world was attacking me all the time. And I knew for a fact that the base method of defense was attack. And so I use anger, to defend myself against the world. Now, it was very, very useful to defend myself against the world.

Because the angry person has everybody jumping up and saying, How can I help you? What can I do to make this data? The irony was that the world was never attacking me. And that was always an illusion. So I was using this really useful methodology to make everybody jump up and down and do my bidding, when actually my underlying misunderstanding was never true, that the world was attacking me. So if you start to look at your own anger, and Try to figure out a little bit.

What's the purpose of this? What is it serving you? What is it supposed to be giving you back? That's going to be a really useful exercise to you. And the reason that that exercise is going to be so useful for you is that we have to see the purpose that our unconscious mind has for creating something. If we can see the purpose that our unconscious mind has for creating something, we can very, very, very easily reprogram the unconscious.

If we can't see that anger is serving a purpose for us, then the unconscious rules to show it produces our experience produces our feeling and it produces our reactivity. And if we can't see, oh, this is why this is what's going on. There's nothing we can do about it. We are held hostage by the unconscious mind. So your job for me today is to look at what it is that you think Angus Serving. Is it defense?

Is it protection is that manipulation? Is that fear of being judged that it protects you from or sense of being judged that you're protecting yourself from somehow? What is it? Make a list of those things, write them down, take the time, or at the very least think about them in the shower. Think about them in the car. Go to it.
