Six Word Story #217

Six Word Story:

Six Word Story

Anger rising, deep breath, let go.

About This Six Word Story:

This week’s six word story was inspired by Kevin’s NTT prompt. This is a special NTT for him because it has officially been a year since he began sharing these which is amazing. He has inspired myself as well as numerous other bloggers with his weekly prompts and for that we are eternally grateful. Check out his NTT post here.

This SWS was inspired by my current emotional growth. Some of you may not know this about me but I can be very short tempered and am quick to anger. However, thanks to constant meditation, therapy and a lot of introspection I’m getting my anger under control. Recently, I’ve been letting go of a lot of things that would have earlier really bothered me. I’m proud of myself because it’s really not been easy. I used this image because one day I want to rise like her and attain true peace. I want to be at a place where I can fully control my own emotions.

Would you consider yourself an emotional person or a more calm person? What did you think of this six word story? Let me know in the comments below because I would absolutely love to hear from you. And don’t forget to leave your one six word stories in the comments too. Or simply stop by and say hi!

I recently published my first book and would be very honoured if you took a minute to check it out here.

      Thank you so much. Yes I think humans need to calm down more and just relax. It’s difficult when you’re someone that wears your heart on your sleeve because you’re much more likely to be hurt.

    I’m a calm & quiet person by default.

    But my mind is talkative. It’s very unstable!
    Feeling overwhelmed for any reason is so easy for me.

    In the recent months I found I’m getting angry and becoming a reactionary person.
    I don’t want to hear noise & verbal fights.
    I get really disturbed and annoyed by that.
    After a certain point of time, I start losing patience.
    I prefer to make distance from such people and the situations — which annoys me and raising anger within me.

    I later regret for getting angry. I don’t want to be angry.
    I do wish my points & arguments get heard.
    Or at least, leave me alone!

    I also think, using my phone in limit and avoiding potential sensitive content, improves my mental stability and mood.
    I’m just happy!😁

      I’m exactly the same way and it can definitely be difficult. I try to stay away from people that are loud or argumentative because it really disturbs my peace. But that’s not always a possibility so I’ve been trying to be better at controlling my emotions. Yes I think avoiding our phone helps a lot.

      Yes, most people learn realize that I have a pretty bad temper because I’m generally calm.

    Realizing all perish, quarrels are stilled.

    My first six-word story is a condensed form of a Buddhist quote above my desk. The full quote is: Unlike those who don’t realize that we’re here on the verge of perishing, those who do, their quarrels are stilled.

    I was generally very slow to anger when I was much younger, but it would cascade to the extreme very fast when that threshold was crossed. I have mellowed a lot with age. An old boss once said that I was so laid back he had to check to see if I was breathing.

    I applaud your emotional growth. I wish I had learned emotional and social intelligence at such an early time in life.

    Peace emerged from understanding the anger.

    Maybe this six-word story could describe your emotional growth.

    Happy Friday.

      I love that SWS. And that’s a great quote. Your SWS condensed the message really well.

      That’s amazing, I wish I could be that laid back ever.

      Thank you, I’m trying my best. Yes, that second SWS holds a lot of truth for me.

      Happy Friday, have a great weekend.

    I am constantly furious about the way the world is run and they way we are manipulated, exploited and abused by profiteers. But I am always outwardly calm and full of the joy of nature and life. Somehow I can hold the two. Do you think I’m schizophrenic?

      That’s what makes me angry too but I’ve realised being angry doesn’t do much good. Instead, I’ll try to stay calm and keep fighting. Not schizophrenic, just human.

    I used to be so neurotic and emotional, I think I still am to some degree. People used to take advantage of me, lol, especially in school days, I think it’s what has caused a lot of my issues in relationships and social life in general. Mastering myself has been so helpful throughout the years. My own journey has done a ton of shifts both physically, spiritually, and mentally. We all long to reach that level Pooja, hope we’ll get there one day.

    Beautiful SWS, Pooja – and what a story it communicates!

    I tend to be very emotional, and can be quite emotive when I feel safe. I am pretty stoic outside of felt safety.

    On my recovery journey, I’m learning to recognize my anger is telling me something – often a deeper feeling or a part of my story I need to revisit.

    I’m angry that I keep unsubscribing. I have no idea why it does that. I’m an emotional person, but I mostly feel my emotions from within. I’ve gotten better at voicing my emotions and embracing that side of myself. Meditation is a game changer 🙂

    I admire you for this, Pooja. Controlling anger and emotions is not easy. I tend to be emotional about some things that I shouldn’t let get to me. I know I should let go but it’s difficult. Love your SWS and I am going to make it my new motto. 💗

    Congratulations on finding a way to calm yourself. It is a lifetime task and responsibility. No one is truly calm all the time. We have emotions for a reason. Praying, writing, and walking or other physical activity helps me calm down when I am upset at someone. It helps me to see their perspective even if I don’t agree with it. Thanks for following me on Bluesky. Have a wonderful weekend, Pooja. 🙂

      Thank you so much. Yes, I think it’s not possible to be calm all the time but it would be great to be able to control my emotions better. Yes, doing something that calms you down helps to see things from the other persons perspective and be more empathetic.

      Have a wonderful weekend too 🙂

    She has power in anger and control. (From what you say about anger in her and in you. I don’t get angry often, and when I do people seem confused. I’d like to have and use all my emotions, which I imagine you can relate to.)

    I love that your six word story speaks of your own personal story. I truly hope that you get to where you want to be with your emotions 💗. I think I’m more emotional than I know, I had a psychotic breakdown a few years ago and throughout that and my recovery I have learned a lot about myself. I used to think I was calm and I still somewhat am but I now know my limits and how to better cope with reaching them 💗

    Great SWS that doubles as advice, Pooja! I tend toward the emotional, too, and it’s a work in progress though I also think showing emotion is a good thing vs. bottling it up (especially in men, as that leads to toxicity), but in moderation and in the right time and place.

      Thanks so much! I think some of us just tend to be more emotional then others. And that’s fine as long as we process the emotions in a proper and healthy way. Absolutely, a lot of men repress their emotions which leads to things like depression and toxic masculinity.
