“You are only responsible for your action or inaction. That’s half the equation. What’s the other half? All outcomes… belong to God.” -Joseph Warren
Anger and stress can be a massive drain on our personal lives and careers. They not only take a toll on mental health, but they can also impact our relationships— with other people and most importantly, with ourselves. Feelings of anger or frustration cause us to lash out at others unwittingly.
Moreover, male anger is often mislabeled as aggression or hostility. This makes it difficult for us, as men, to express our emotions or ask for help when we’re having a hard time. Besides, it can also lead to poor performance at work because it makes it difficult to focus on what needs doing.
It’s easy to get caught up in anger and lose track of what’s important. That’s where stress comes in. So instead of focusing on how angry or stressed out we feel right now, we can choose to focus on finding ways to deal with these feelings so they don’t become overwhelming or damaging.
In this episode, I got to sit down with the #1 Podcast Host of Broken Catholic and Your FIRST $100K and spiritual coach at The Men’s Anger Coach™. Joseph started his business at 19 and was able to semi-retire for some time. However, the dark side of success had him covered in dark clouds. He was filled with anger and anxiety, his wealth was exhausted, and he almost lost his life on many occasions. Until… he found his greater purpose in life and his life began to turn around— both in his personal life and career.
Joseph and I discuss how to blow up these rocks that hinder our growth. We also talk about the real cause of anger and stress and the necessary steps we need to take in order to manage these emotions. These steps are not easy, but as Joseph says, are guaranteed effective. How do we know? Tune in to find out!
