Day 2: Eye of the Needle Series | Transforming Anger into Purpose

This morning, I woke up with my body shaking from adrenaline—anger coursing through me after a difficult experience. My savings were taken to pay a historic debt I didn’t know I owed. And yet… I’m choosing not to collapse. In today’s reflection, I speak honestly about navigating the very real and physical experience of anger, and the choice we have—to spiral into old narratives, or to focus that energy into purpose. I’m learning to lean into discomfort and transmute it into clarity, to sit with intensity without making it wrong, and to let it fuel what comes next. This isn’t toxic positivity. It’s emotional alchemy. It’s staying with what is and making meaning from it. If you’re in a hard moment, I hope this offers something—a companion on the path, or a spark of recognition. Topics explored: • Processing anger and betrayal • Choosing focus over collapse • Navigating survival responses • Turning discomfort into creative momentum • Living with purpose, not reactivity Let me know in the comments: How do you work with intense emotions like anger?
