Wisdom Sister Circle Live Event - Sept 2012

Are You Angry and You Don't Even Know It?

Do you ever over-react in anger? Do traffic and/or selfish drivers set you off? Do you ever feel overly irritable? Is somebody always on your nerves?

Or are you like me and when you get angry, you just stuff it inside and focus on something else in and effort to ignore your rage until you are in a better place or emotional space to deal with it effectively?

Well, sadly these are all red flags that a serious problem is brewing and if you don’t take a look at it for what it is now, it will undoubtedly build up. And we don’t want you to be the next woman featured on the TV show ‘Snapped’.  Trust me, I know.

This recently happened to me and unfortunately, I was the one who was left standing there to clean up the mess that my repressed anger had made.

I learned a lot from that experience and tomorrow 9/22/12 @5:30pm, at our Wisdom Sister Circle, we will chat all about it.

What are you mad about? Do you know what your triggers are? Is anger ever healthy? What is a healthy response? We’ll discuss all of this and a whole lot more tomorrow evening.

We’ll see you there and remember to RSVP and Bring a Friend!

Hugz, Queenie

Are You Angry And You Don’t Even Know It?

I recently had an experience that absolutely shocked me. I found myself in a roundtable meeting, at church, no less, and something happened within me that I couldn’t explain nor did I understand.

As soon as I sat down in the meeting, I realized that I was FURIOUS! I mean I WAS MAD!!!

I was angry for a lot of reasons, most of which were justifiable…but my level of anger was through the roof. I couldn’t even think straight. Have you ever been that angry? It was the kind of anger that made me want to scream, throw a tantrum and just start swinging! LOL. I’m serious, I was just that mad. And sadly, everybody in the meeting knew it. :)

After I calmed down and recovered from my embarrassment, there were a few revelations that I was forced to acknowledge.

My surprise was that before I sat down at that meeting, I didn’t even know that I was angry.  I felt frustrated…but I can’t remember ever feeling so angry that I could lose control like I did. The truth is that my anger didn’t start that day, it had been brewing for quite some time. I had suppressed it for far too long and on that day, I just snapped.

So, as with most of the issues that I find in my own life, I’ve been really intent on understanding what the heck happened in me and I’ve had some very interesting revelations about it. I can’t wait to share more at this month’s Wisdom Sister Circle where we’ll discuss:  Are You Angry And You Don’t Even Know It?

Let this be an opportunity to diffuse the bomb that could be lurking within you before it blows up all over the people you love and respect. LOL.  I can’t wait to chat all about it.

Last Month's Topic: Girlfriend Is Your Identity In Crisis?

August's Wisdom Sister Circle was AWESOME!!

We had a great session and the chat continued well into the evening. Here are some of the highlights and nuggets from the live event. Make your calendar so that you don't miss the next Wisdom Sister Circle - Sept 22, 5:30pm.

Queenie's Nuggets of Wisdom

• "It's only hard being me when I decide to be who you want/need me to be! I've gotta be ME!"
• "Everything that God created on earth, was intended to reproduce abundantly. He created everything with ABUNDANCE already in it!"
• "When you're a mess. you will undoubtedly attract a mess."
• "Start thinking about what you think about. Any thought that does not align with you being a success (powerful, or fill in the blank) needs to GO- TODAY!!"
• Remember The Law of The Harvest - It's important to protect your seeds. Learn more on pg. 235.
• Read more about Spiritual Eating Disorders on pg. 372.
• Having a challenge with 'receiving'? Perhaps it's time for you to get a bigger cup. Check out pg. 319.

Scripture References

Romans 8:29 - Christ is the firstborn of many brethren. (We are those brethren.)
John 14:20 - Christ is in the Father, You are in Christ and Christ is in YOU!
Isaiah 58:12 - We are the repairers of the breach.

Love Work Assignment

• In your journal, write about any rises and falls in your life and how they shifted your identity.

• Pay attention to your thoughts over the period of one day. Think about what you think about and note how your thoughts affect your identity. Are they in alignment with who you now know you are? Or are your thoughts out of line? Are your thoughts generally negative or positive? Do not judge yourself for your thoughts, the goal here is to just NOTICE. 

Major Revelations in the After-Chat

Are you overwhelmed or even tormented by negative thoughts? Perhaps it's time for you to go on a Fear Fast (Read pg. 332). To go even deeper read The Prinicple of Fear (Pg 323).

Testimonies

“In my walk with God, I’ve been struggling with my identity and who I am in Christ. I didn’t know what to expect [at the Wisdom Sister Circle Live Event] and I was so extremely blessed. Learning about how so many of my identity crises stem from a lack of loving myself. I am so excited about The Self Love Lessons and the revelation that Queenie shared concerning loving ourselves and seeing ourselves in light of God’s word. I am so excited to learn The Self Love Lessons.   [Sonia, Atlanta, GA]

“I want to start off by saying “God is an amazing God!” I have struggled for years on my identity. I’ve asked God through prayer about who I was and why I was created. The Wisdom Sister Circles Live Event was a God Send. God has answered my prayer by getting your book. I truly believe that my life will take a dramatic change for the Kingdom of God. May God continue to bless you Queenie and I’m so thankful that you were obedient to God’s instruction.  [Andriel, Atlanta, GA]
