Anger let’s us know a “button” has been pushed. But what then? Are you someone who can express you anger in a grounded, non-violent, respectful way, let it go, and then go on about your day?
If not, you are likely someone who is prone to get caught in the ever so enticing trap of self-righteous resentment. The definition of resentment that makes the most sense to me is a re-feeling or reliving (in your head) the thing that made you angry in the first place. It can go on for days, months, or years!
When anger progresses to resentment you have reached a point where a simple decision needs to be made - investigate or ignore. If you chose heal for a resentment you have today, then let’s get to work.
Want to avoid anger turning into self-righteous resentment? Then do the opposite - explore your part with a letter of apology.
