A person is only what they make of themself. It is up to each individual to decide whether they want to be prematurely destroyed by stress through ignorance, laziness or incompetence, or whether they can tame it and make it work for them. Each individual is responsible not only for themself, but also for all those with whom they have daily contact.A joyful approach to one's duties and responsibilities is one of the criteria of human maturity. It is a sign of childish behavior to deny one's responsibilities.

Writing:Many feelings of anger, rage or fear can be "written from the heart". Sit down and begin to simply formulate your feelings and reactions. Whether in the form of a writing exercise, an essay or even a short story - writing has always proven to be a purifying factor of the very first degree. That's where the healing concept of "letters that never reached them" comes from.Drawing can help with:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">see the world consciously and receptively again</li><li class="ql-align-justify">look for beauty even in everyday things</li><li class="ql-align-justify">live consciously</li><li class="ql-align-justify">strive to find the positive in every situation</li></ul>

Live out your feelings:Feelings burn energy, just like thoughts - except that a feeling has a higher calorific value than a thought.If a person has learned not to show their feelings, then they are pushed more and more into the subconscious. They no longer experience them consciously. They can no longer feel them consciously. This leads to a dangerous build-up of energy. It also leads to an unrealistic view of the world, as our attitude to our environment is shaped by the feelings that dominate us.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Learn to recognize your own true feelings!</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Consciously experience your emotions!</li></ul>

Regardless of whether you express your anger aggressively outwards or if you suppress it inside, anger always costs time and energy.
