How to process your anger in a God-centered way:

You are also likely to carry your anger in your shoulders, neck and back. Your anger takes the form of yelling, “nitpickiness,” judgmental facial expressions, a self-righteous attitude and/or passive-aggressive behavior.

You may even feel like you need to apologize that you got angry because it shows that even you – the perfectionist – aren’t always pleasing to others. After you get angry, you may get mad at yourself for not being perfect because you shared your frustration. How you express your anger: You suppress your anger, which evolves into resentment then seething then explosion. You become frustrated because God’s perfection and completion are wired into you, yet you can’t make that happen here on earth. While other types may react to situations because of fear or shame, your type often feels anger. What’s behind your anger: Because Type 1s are in the Body Center, you are concerned with having and maintaining control and power. For real, how hard is it to communicate expectations, pull your own weight and follow the rules? As a Type 1, you’re sensitive to injustice, a lack of control, inefficiency, people “getting away” with poor choices/irresponsibility and last-minute changes.Ī Type 1 said, “There’s a deep sense within me that if everyone just did their part, we could have an efficient and happy world.” Because your type reflects God’s goodness and righteousness, you get angry because not all is right with the world, your plans or your people. What makes you angry: Nothing riles you up more than people who don’t do their part. What I present to you is based on my study of Enneagram resources such as The Road Back to You and The Sacred Enneagram, websites like The Enneagram Institute and Your Enneagram Coach, feedback from people of all Enneagram types, and peer review by those of all nine types. I’m not an Enneagram expert, merely a lover of it. Not sure of your Enneagram type? Start here. The Enneagram is an ancient personality typing system whose purpose is to help us understand what makes us tick. It is okay to feel anger, and we all feel it, b ut there are God-centered ways to feel and process it. I mean, isn’t anger a “bad” emotion?Īnger, in fact, is a God-given emotion that isn’t sinful, yet God commands us not to sin in our anger (Ephesians 4:26). However, some of us are not onboard with saying we ever get angry. No matter your personality type or how much you promise you “really don’t get angry,” you do have anger triggers. So, let’s learn what makes you angry, what’s behind your anger, how your anger manifests itself and explore some God-centered habits for what to do with that anger. And for others … well let’s just say the last year brought a lot of things that can make each of us mad. For others, it’s seeing injustice, or leaders letting you down. For some, it’s the extreme tension of ongoing political issues. $3.99 US | 32 pages | 1 of 8 | Variant $4.What makes you mad?
