Angry Affirmations to Get You Through a Bad Mood

Sometimes, shit just sucks. 

Here’s what you need to hear to make the bad moments suck a little less and move through the madness:

Everyone gets angry.

It’s human to feel anger. Even the kindest people you know feel like this every now and then; we all just deal with it differently.

Anger is not the enemy.

Fighting your feelings of anger is not how you win the war. Reframe your anger as an ally. Form an alliance with it, collaborating to conquer the core issue. 

I’m allowed to be angry.

Historically, women’s anger has been dismissed and considered dramatic. Research shows that our rage is not only valid, but expressing anger properly is vital to our quality of life. Acknowledging your anger is natural and your human right.

Being angry is an adventure.

Anger acts as an emotional GPS. It can be bumpy, full of detours, and change like the weather, but it guides you to a better place if you’re willing to be a little uncomfortable. You might as well roll down the windows and put on a good playlist to make it more enjoyable.

Rage is a resource.

Anger is an energy source that powers us and creates opportunities. Remember, our rage is rooted in love and deep respect for life. Harness that power instead of hiding it—or worse, hurting yourself or others. 

It’s a shitty situation, not a shitty life.

No matter how intense or inconvenient it may be, all anger is temporary. Don’t let your fleeting feelings of anger determine your destiny. Even if you feel like you’re angry a lot or all the time, you get to decide how much energy you give it. 

Your life is still happening, so go live it regardless of whatever bullshit may be bothering you.
