Anger isn’t strength. It’s self-abandonment.
One hard conversation. A tense moment.
Someone challenges you, and before you think, you snap.
You feel powerful for a second…
But what you really did was lose access to your higher self.
We’ve mistaken anger for authority.
As if being intense means being in control.
But anger is just unprocessed emotion.
Wearing confidence as a mask.
It doesn’t make us better communicators.
It makes us worse listeners.
Here’s a familiar scene:
You’re a leader in a high-stakes meeting.
Someone pushes back on your idea.
You feel dismissed. Disrespected.
The urge to shut it down kicks in.
But here’s what emotional mastery looks like instead:
1. Pause. Take a breath. Don’t react.
2. Name it. Internally: “I feel disrespected.” That’s okay.
3. Shift perspective. Ask: “Is this about my ego or the bigger goal?”
4. Respond with curiosity. Try: “That’s an interesting view. What are you seeing that I’m not?”
5. Lead from center. You didn’t shrink. You expanded the room and gained respect.
That’s real strength.
Anger doesn’t move people forward.
It shuts them down.
And every time we lead from anger,
We move further away from the version of ourselves we’re working so hard to grow into.
At IntuiWell, this is the work we focus on.
Our Personal Growth program helps you train the muscles of self-awareness, emotional regulation, and inner resilience.
Because leadership isn’t about who speaks loudest.
It’s about who stays grounded when it matters most.
If this resonates with you, don’t just reflect.
Take Action.
Start the inner work.
We’re here to help.
Anger isn’t strength. It’s self-abandonment.
