Do you ever lose your temper or get overwhelmed with sadness, worry, stress or any of the other challenging emotions? 

Why does that happen to us?

To answer that, I wanna share an analogy with you.

You know those big silver tanker trucks carrying fuel that you see driving down the freeway? 

If you look closely, those tankers have a vent on top of them. It's called a “pressure relief valve,” and that valve pops open and the tanker off-gasses when the internal pressure gets to be too much.

It’s designed so that there's not a major explosion that kills everybody, which is awesome. right? 

Well, unfortunately, as humans, we don't come with a pressure relief valve; but we need one too. 

If you don't process and release emotions and challenges in a healthy way, they come out amplified and cause you pain as well as collateral damage to your loved ones. 

Oftentimes, this pressure manifests with anger and throwing adult temper tantrums. 

And I say this not from a judgmental standpoint. I used to yell and punch holes in walls like the total emotional rookie that I was.

But remember, even if your anger is justified, it's wise to let that sh*t go and release it, because experiencing anger is like holding onto hot coals. You're the only person who's gonna get burned.

And the tool I’m sharing today on Episode 9 of The Grit, Growth & Gratitude Podcast is one of the major game changers that led me to this easy, happy, peaceful way of experiencing life. 

So tune-in, and let’s develop your healthy pressure relief valves!
