Smile To Your Anger – Parallax Press

Smiling allows the energy of mindfulness to be born in you, helping you to embrace your anger.

When anger arises, instead of looking angry, just smile. When hurt hurls in, instead of looking hurt, just smile. This is a practice of nonfear toward anger and hurt.

Knowing that anger makes me ugly, I smile instead. I return to myself and meditate on love.

We can learn to smile even when tears are streaming down our face. We can learn to smile when anger is rising in us or when a harsh thought or feeling is brewing in us. If we remember to breathe and smile, that thought and feeling will lose its momentum and subside quickly.
