Argument
Stepping Back from Anger

by Madisyn Taylor

The emotional trigger than begins an argument may have little to do with your present situation, but has dug up a wound.


When we find ourselves in an argument, we may feel like we are losing control of emotions that have taken on lives of their own. When we can become aware that this is happening, taking a deep breath can help us step back from the situation. Once we can separate ourselves from the heat of the moment, we may find that the emotional trigger that began the argument has little to do with the present situation, but may have brought up feelings related to something else entirely. Looking honestly at what caused our reaction allows us to consciously respond more appropriately to the situation and make the best choices.

We can make an agreement with our partners and those closest to us that asking questions can help all of us discover the source of the argument. The shared awareness can result in finding simple solutions to something physical, like low blood sugar or even a hormonal surge. Maybe we are taking ourselves too seriously, and we can just laugh and watch the tension dissolve. We could also discover that perhaps we are addicted to the excitement that drama brings and the chemicals that our body creates when we are angry. But there may be a deeper issue that requires discussion, understanding, and patience. The more we allow ourselves to step back and examine our reasons for arguing, the easier it becomes to allow real feelings to surface and guide us toward solutions that improve our lives.

When we can be clear about our feelings and intentions and communicate them clearly, we have a far better chance of getting what we want than if we lose control or allow our subconscious minds to manipulate the situation. We might take our frustrations out on the people closest to us because we feel safe and comfortable with them, but misplaced anger can cause more harm than good. Arguing for what we truly believe can empower us and help us to direct our passions toward greater life experiences. Truly knowing our reasons for arguing enables us to grow emotionally in ways that will affect our whole being.


DailyOM Course Spotlight

Heal Your Love & Relationship Karma
by Sara Wiseman

"Every relationship in your life is a karmic crossing--a chance to learn soul lessons through the opening of your earth heart." The task of the spiritual psychic is to enter the sacred space within, where we acknowledge ourselves as one of One, and awaken to the possibility of miracles. That said, the task of the spiritual psychic is also to live fully as an earth being, in connected and profound relationship to others, and to the experiences these relationships bring. This means looking deeply and carefully at who shows up in our lives--and what we're here to learn from them. In this course, you are invited to dive deeply into your relationships at the most profound level--those karmic crossings you experience with partner, parent, child, friend, teacher, colleague and acquaintance. For it is in this simple act of connecting deeply to the Divine, that all things can be shifted, moved, created and transformed.
