Anger – and why it stops you

Simple tools to get past it inside [The Writer’ s Life]( June 6, 2022 "Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured." – Mark Twain. Happy Monday, {NAME}! "Never go to bed angry. And always say I love you, even if through gritted teeth." That was the advice my mother-in-law gave for a lasting marriage … after participating in a dance where they asked couples to sit down or remain dancing as they counted up the years they had been together. My in-laws were one of the last three couples standing. And were asked to share their best piece of advice about making it last. Now, today's issue isn't about marriage … But it IS about something that affects every aspect of your life — and can keep you stuck in one place as you try to start your paid writing journey. AWAI member Suzanne wrote in to ask if we would cover this topic. And I'm so glad she did. We often talk about fear getting in our way … the fear of failure and the fear of success. But anger has just as much power to stop us in our tracks. It has the power to break relationships, slow down our progress, and cripple our judgment. Rather than focusing on what we can learn and what we can do … Anger keeps us in a loop that threatens to keep us right where we are. And the crazy thing about it is … you may not even notice that you're doing it. In today's Monday Morning Jumpstart, Ted will give you some tools to deal with anger, so it doesn't take you off track from getting what you want out of your writing career (and really, your life).
