Do you ever find yourself running away from intense emotions like rage and anger? There are so many factors that have taught us to view these feelings as inherently negative: cultural and societal conditioning, family mythology, “high vibez only" mentality, and a general fear or reproach from uncomfortable and intense emotions, to name a few. They all signal that instead of embracing them as part of the human experience, rage and anger are to be suppressed or avoided at all costs. But what if we shifted our perspective and learned to funnel the energy of rage into fuel for positive change?
