Does anyone know an unsinful way to unbottle anger?

I have so much anger bottled up and I don’t know how to let it out unsinfully:mad: What I generally do is songwrite but wouldn’t God dislike my songwriting eversince the songs are depressing and sinful?

If I can’t song write or do any poetry eversince what I write does not glorify God, then what can I do?

Thanks

I think that writing poetry or songs that let the anger out is fine. If, later you look at the pieces, and they are really poisoness and sharing them would cause someone else harm, then keep them to yourself. But every song or poem dealing with anger is not necessarily sinful.

Anger is not necessarily sinful. It can be a motivator for good actions just as it can motivate us to bad action.

Writing out your anger can help you examine it better than when it is bottled up inside you, and may help you learn some important things about yourself or the relationships involved.

Sometimes listening to angry music helps me get my anger out by singing along, and afterwards I feel much better and much more able to get on with my life. It helps to know that I am not alone with my angry feelings, it is part of the human condition.

even if the songwriting contained swearing and if you are angry at God and your lyrics…

Yep I love singing evanescence music to get the feeling out, when I performed “breathe no more” I really unbottled a lot in the song.

Cheddar is spot on the money with this advice.

Also, there is justifable anger in reaction to injustice as in the Gospel where Jesus Christ is angry with the money changers and traders in the Temple.
Take care and God bless,
Luke
 
Prayer. I once asked God not to let me be angry anymore. I prayed every day for about 2 weeks and then - it happened. Of course, it helps to deal with the underlying fear that causes the anger, but for real relief, pray.

But God said to Jonah, “Do you have a right to be angry about the vine?”
“I do,” he said. “I am angry enough to die.” (Jonah 4:9)

Is Jonah’s comment righteous? Or even respectful?

Jonah gets all upset because he wants God to massacre the Assyrians as the Assyrians had massacred Jonah’s people. So he vents at God. Like Job. And Jeremiah. Even the angels themselves complain, occasionally

God made you the way that you are.
God understands how you feel.
When you want to vent, vent. God gets it.
If I can’t song write or do any poetry ever since what I write does not glorify God, then what can I do?

Glorifying God is not just about praising God: it’s also about doing the right things in your life, like being honest.

Let’s face it, if you can’t be honest with the one Person who truly knows you, with whom could you ever be honest?

Oh, and don’t forget: suffering induces creativity. It’s a clinically-proven fact.
 
It is easy to feel overcome by negative feelings of rage, anger, frustration, etc. In attempting to outlet angry feelings, turning to poetry, music, etc. feels like it helping because it addresses the feelings, but can also help to feed the anger.

I would suggest spending time in prayer. When those feelings occur, put a rosary in your hands and offer it up. Looking at a crucifix, I can’t imagine that my problems even come close to the suffering Jesus did for all of us. I have literally felt all of my burdens be lifted from me when I’ve done this.

I would also address what you are angry about. Is it an attitude you have, hormonal, a stressful situation, etc. Where is it coming from? That also needs addressed and prayed for.

Finally, find something positive to preoccupy your time. Doing something good for other people helps you feel good and eventually will put you in a position to have a better handle on your emotions. Try finding some community service projects or organization that interests you. Enjoy life! It’s a wonderful thing! 👍

unjust anger is a sin…

i believe Jesus was probably angry when he threw the moneychagers out of the temple…

Try to remember that things and people do NOT make us angry. We ALLOW ourselves to get angry.

IF you just refuse to get angry, no one can make you angry. When I first heard this (in a sermon from mass about a year or two ago), I was a bit skeptical. BUT I tried it, and it sure enough is true.

I used to be very easily angered while driving, and the more aware I became of how I was feeling the better I was able to control it. I purposely try to be more laid back now. I drive at a more leisurely pace and I am determined not to let the road hogs, speeders, slow pokes, and rude drivers who cut me off or tail gate me bother me. It really does work.

If you keep a smile on your face, laugh off their antics and keep a sunny disposition NO ONE can make you get upset if you don’t let them. It will be difficult at first not to lapse into your old ways, but pretty soon you will notice that you don’t react as quickly and as violently as you used to.

We develop hair trigger tempers and things like driving will automatically put you on the offensive (or defensive). BUT if you go into each situation well aware that folks will do stupid and insane things, you will learn to ignore and control your response to them.

I struggle with the sin of anger, and also follow this advice.

Another tactic for dealing with the anger that remains is exercise. Endurance sports are especially good for this, sports like swimming, biking, and running. Even long walks.

Exercise is so important for general health. I’ve found that good long workouts also help reduce anger.

My youngest son battled with this from an early age. I persuaded his teacher on year to allow him, whenever he felt anger building up (frustration) to go and run around the playing field until he calmed down.

It worked

Aside from prayer, I recommend… EXERCISE.
Running and weight lifting are my favorites. Tennis is good too, because you get to smash the he** out that little green ball. 😃
 
My grandfather told me this, “for every minute we are angry, we lose 60 seconds of happiness.” I know it sounds funny but I live by it.
 


You could always pull a Lou Ferrigno act but you are likely to hurt someone and regret it.
Take a deep breath and ask God for assistance…much better that way.
 
One thing that helps me when I am mad at someone (for doing something against me) is to pray for them. It really helps me, plus its good to know I might be helping to solve the problem. :gopray2:
