Bipolar Rage is a scary topic for some. It use to be scary for me.
The ability to clear my mind and release stress and negative energy is the most powerful tool I have.
I have confidence in myself and never fear the loss of control. Not any more. I recognize how extremely passionate I am about so many things. This is a wonderful gift.
Just as I am able to passionately love, I can also be passionate about what might be making me angry. This was a problem for me in the past. Today it fuels my fire to get things done and accomplish my goals in life.
Rage can become a physical problem for me. This begins with the fact that I did not figure out how to prevent the rage. The next problem is the true physical symptoms of the rage; my brain chemicals, anxiety, blood pressure, heart rate, and stress on every part of my body. The final problem is the recovery that comes after the rage. This can include debilitating guilt. I have written much on Bipolar Rage and the guilt that follows.
Today, I am so excited about another physical reaction.
MEDITATION
I am the first to admit that when people would suggest I take a deep breath or meditate to prevent a "Bipolar Rage Episode", my reaction was not always pleasant. 'Yeah, right!'
Today, even as I write this blog, I can PHYSICALLY feel my body relax, shoulders release, stress from my head down and out my body with each exhale.
When I use the power of MEDITATION, these feelings of relaxation are ten fold.
The clarity that follows is just amazing.
My goal is to meditate three times a day. I take deep breaths, at least three, as often as I possibly can.
My brain and my body are so much more powerful than I ever imagined.
