Today’s pep talk is for the Chick who’s mad at others, at herself, or just at how things have gone…and doesn’t know what to do with it.
Welcome back to Being Relatable. This is part of my Hype Yourself Up Pep Talk Series, where I’m helping you let go of what you are not taking into 2026 and step into a HYPE worthy year.
Anger is not a character flaw; it is information. And, it is your body’s way of saying, “Something here does not line up with my values, my needs, or what I was promised.”
The problem is not that you feel anger. The problem is what you do when you either stuff it down or let it explode. Both of those leave you feeling out of control. What if anger were simply a spotlight, showing you where a boundary, a change, or a conversation is needed?
Question to ponder: If your anger could talk calmly, what boundary would it ask you to create or protect right now?
Tiny action: Write one sentence that starts with, “My anger is trying to protect me from…” and finish the sentence honestly. You do not have to send it to anyone. Just get it out of your head and onto paper.
If you’re tired of swallowing your anger or exploding with it, and you want to turn it into clear boundaries instead, join us for HYPE Worthy Year Bootcamp. We’ll use simple reflection questions to turn that anger into decisions about what changes next year.
