Taking Your Anger and Frustration Out on Others Might Be Killing You

Why you’ll be healthier if you learn to chill out

Why do you do it?

Why do you lash out at other people just because you’re feeling crappy about something or maybe because you’re just an asshole?

The answer is simple…

YOU OPERATE ON A LOW LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS.

Yes. I said it. But don’t blame me. I’m just the messenger.

Me and Dr. David R. Hawkins, of course.

I highly recommend his book, Power vs. Force, where he breaks down the concept of the mind and levels of consciousness.

Awaken.com summarizes the concept as:

From low to high, the levels of consciousness are: shame, guilt, apathy, grief, fear, desire, anger, pride, courage, neutrality, willingness, acceptance, reason, love, joy, peace, enlightenment.

While we can pop in and out of different levels at various times, usually there’s a predominant “normal” state for us. If you’re reading this blog, chances are you’re at least at the level of courage because if you were at a lower level, you’d likely have no conscious interest in personal growth.

Why Lashing Out at Others is Bad for Your Health

Lashing out at other people in anger triggers the fight or flight response (the stress response) in the body. This in turn can lead to serious short- and long-term health problems such as:

• headaches
• digestion problems
• trouble sleeping
• increased anxiety
• depression
• high blood pressure
• skin conditions
• heart attack
• stroke

I’m sure you will agree that none of these consequences are worth it.

So what do you do about it?

You need to align yourself with high-energy attractor fields instead of low-energy attractor fields, as outlined by Hawkins.

Allow Me to Explain.

Everything in the universe has a vibration, according to the Law of Vibration…including you AND your emotions. Medium author Mo Issa maps this concept out perfectly in his article, Listen, it’s the Law of Vibration — not Attraction.

Anger, stress and frustration are emotions and emotions carry energy vibrations (either positive or negative).

These vibrations generate electromagnetic energy waves. Researchers have found that vibrations and the electromagnetic energy associated with them cause changes in your cells, which can then affect how your body functions. — Healthline.com

So, you see. You releasing negative emotions into the universe and against other people is hurting you more than it is hurting them.

It may even be killing you slowly (although it does hurt them as well as it affects the vibration of the entire universe by way of the collective consciousness).

“Everything in Life is Vibration” — Albert Einstein

What?

First let us consider an analogy to help understand this concept.

• Imagine, if you will, a large bowl of water. And now imagine taking a syringe and drawing out some of the water into the syringe.
• The water in the syringe is now a separate entity but it still has the exact same properties from the water in the bowl from which it came.

The syringe represents you and the bowl of water represents the universe.

• What do you suppose will happen if you drop just one drop of water from your syringe back into the bowl? — Right. There will be a ripple.
• Now suppose you just squirt all of the water from the syringe back into the bowl? Not only are there ripples but there’s also splashing.

The question is: Do you want to be a person that’s always making negative ripples and splashes into the universe or do you want to cause positive effects?

Your vibration says a lot about the type of person you are.

Stop Killing Yourself Little by Little with Positivity

There are some habits you need to break and some gratifications you need to rechannel, if you want to be healthier and not cut your life short.

Make a conscious effort, everyday, to be more positive.

Here’s 6 ways to start:

You can do this by consciously practicing restraint when you feel the urge come upon you to lash out at somebody, for whatever reason.

One way to do this is to catch yourself and redirect your thought patterns and thereby rechanneling the negative energy vibrations into positive vibrations. You will transform from operating in a lower vibration to a higher vibration. You just need to shift your mentality.

Worked for me!

For example:

1. If someone cuts you off in traffic, when you feel the urge to hang heavily on your horn, flip them the bird, yell and allow anger to well up in you, instead consciously use that moment as a reminder to produce a positive thought or say something positive out loud to yourself.
2. Send out blessings instead of curses whenever someone does something rude, stupid, inconsiderate, selfish, etc.
3. If you usually treat people mean just because you’re being a jerk, then go back and apply the concepts in #1 and #2 above.

You can change how you choose to act or react. You choose how you treat others.

The Takeaway

Be kind to yourself by being kind to others.

Now, granted, sometimes people just get on your last nerve and sometimes you will still lash out.

But, if you choose the higher vibration most of the time, you will eventually reach your goal of not being someone who takes out your frustrations on others all the time and become more of that better person that you want to be.

That is if you really want to be better— of course.
