Apologies for being off this medium for a long time. I was really busy. However, the summer holiday is over and the kids I was coaching are off to school again so I have a bit of time on my hands. Today, I wish to consider emotions. Anger in particular.
You know its personal whenever we are on this medium. I will proceed to narrate some experiences I have had with my clients recently. Some event happened that left one of my clients really upset. She was more upset because apologies were not coming from the right quarters, namely me.
Now this client had a friend who was also one of my clients. So after some interactions with her friend, this client of mine told me I was supposed have an appointment with her friend which was earlier cancelled. She said her friend told her, "I should come." Upon getting to her friend's place, I found out it was not true. The previous cancellation still held. Wow! It was sunny that day, I had spent money getting to her friend's place and to make things worse, she was not picking her calls.
That she was probably not with her phone did not come to mind. I just felt so angry and wanted to tell her I was angry. I even felt she did it on purpose. Hmmm....Thank God she did not pick. I then felt like sending a text but thought it would not be wise to do so as I would likely regret my actions later when I would have lost the client.
Moral of the story? Always keep anger in check. If it seems really hot, go through the Count from 1 to 10 therapy or just leave the area completely for a while far from where the source of the anger is located. Anger, when its not well handled can mess a lot of things up. Do not allow anger rest or make its residence in your heart. It wrecks 100% all the time when its not well handled.
Cheers.
