15 Ways To Let Go of Anger When You’ve Been Wronged

by Barrie Davenport

Do you know how to let go of anger and resentment?

At some point, if you live long enough, someone will do or say something that hurts you. And when you’re in pain or deeply offended, it’s not so easy to just brush it off.

But if you’ve ever held onto your anger and held a grudge against the one who hurt you, then you know how much more pain it creates for you.

It solves nothing. It heals nothing. You’re just stuck, and the more you hold onto your anger — justifying it and defending it against all reasons to let it go — the more miserable you become.

So, how do you free yourself from it?

How do you release anger when you feel completely justified in holding onto it?

Is letting go of bitterness even possible when the person who hurt you isn’t even sorry?

Not only is it possible to get rid of anger, it's necessary.

Your own happiness depends on it. Releasing anger is not as difficult as you might think.

No Motivation To Do Anything? 10 Ways To Ignite Your Drive

by Barrie Davenport

Are you thinking, “I have no motivation, so I'm just going to sit here and stare at my phone.”

Does that describe how you feel about getting things done today?

And you'd do just that except for the nagging little voice in your head that keeps telling you to get off your butt and do something productive.

That nagging voice is relentless, but you're oh-so-uninspired and maybe even a bit depressed.

Thank goodness for that inner voice, because without it, you might not be reading this post and wondering how you can get yourself out of the ho-hum slump you're in.

There's a big part of you that's sick of feeling lethargic and uninspired. You want to be motivated and productive. You want to have the energy to work on your goals and plans.

Maybe you're concerned because you have no idea why you can't muster up any enthusiasm and ambition — which makes your state of mind even more upsetting.

Let's take a look at some possible reasons.

13 Necessary Steps To Becoming More Mature

by Barrie Davenport

Do you know how to be more mature or what maturity even means?

If you've ever hung around a toddler or a teenager for any length of time, you know what immaturity looks like.

If the toddler doesn't get her way, she might scream, stomp, and fall on the floor in a fit of rage and frustration.

Toddlers have few filters preventing them from expressing their inner worlds in a dramatic fashion.

Teenagers have more filters but still don't have a fully-formed prefrontal cortex, the brain's rational thinking arena.

Teens may not fall on the floor in a fit, but they might scream, slam doors, pout, or use passive-aggressive and manipulative tactics to achieve their goals. It takes them a while to learn how to act maturely.
