There is Always Another Anger Behind Your Anger
We tend to believe that anger is simple. We think it's a normal emotional reaction to something that ticks us off, offends us or scares us.
Have you ever had an angry outburst over something only to realize later there was something else going on inside you? Has your temper ever gotten so ridiculous that you became more angry at yourself for allowing it to go that far?
All too often what's hiding behind our externally expressed anger is the SHAME of not doing better, knowing better or BEING better.
That's what I was really mad about today. And guess what?
I've learned that the SOONER I ADMIT IT the better I feel and the better the day goes from that point forward.
Typically we will make quick moves to defend our anger and silly outbursts because admitting we're ashamed of being an ass is too much to bear.
My coaching for you today is to MOVE FAST to admitting the truth. Yes...out loud. Admit to yourself and admit to any witnesses (or victims) of your anger.
One reason women absolutely hate it when their man gets mad is because it scares them. They think we don't have any control and we don't have the ability to see how badly it affects others.
When we can quickly show that we have a handle on it, own it, laugh at ourselves and move on...the faster your relationship will get back to normal. I guarantee it. Try it this weekend.
If you're reading this email and thinking, "Damn, I wish I had other guys to talk to about this stuff." join the club.
I know exactly what you mean. I spent 5 decades THINKING about this stuff, secretly reading about this stuff, but had nobody who really enjoyed TALKING about this stuff.
It turns out the most powerful, interesting, confident and courageous men I've found are those who have the ability to be open, honest, unapologetic and vulnerable about this stuff. It's changed my life I want the same for you.
When I say "join the club" I mean it.
Join Dan Dore and I in the Men's Live Coaching Roundtable group for amazing conversation, coaching and insights. This is stuff your dad never told you.
And if you're on the edge of divorce with threats of leaving or requests for "space" then the How to Defuse the Divorce Bomb online course would be perfect. This course taught by coach Tim Wade and I also has a large, active group of powerful men who support
each other on a daily basis. It's possible that the group interaction is more valuable than the 9 hours of video coaching in the course!
As we say without reservation in the video, "This shit works!"

P.S. Unfortunately we had to decide to postpone again THE OCTOBER RANCH RETREAT. After careful thought we decided that current status of the COVID-19 issue requires us to wait until May, 2021 for the next retreat. I encourage you to have your own man-to-man "retreats" as often as possible. Find safe ways to connect, share and laugh with men you
trust and respect. It's the best mojo medicine available!
