Why are we so angry Part ll

What we can do with it?

In my last blog, I wrote about how angry we all are — myself included. The divide in this country has become so deep that the right is furious with the left, the left is furious with the right, and the people in between? They’re exhausted, befuddled, and confused.

So I asked myself: what am I going to do about it?

Today, during a journey meditation, I asked that question to my guides, my cosmic council. And Nelson Mandela appeared. His message to me was simple: learn about me. He originally focuse on non-violence and then resorted to violence and ended up imprisoned for 27 years! He wrote, peaceful resistance is effective only "as long as your opposition adheres to the same rules as you do". How do we hold the opposition to a different standard? To non-violence and intentional conversation?

A short while later, a Joe Dispenza video popped up in my feed — outlining four key things we must do to change our lives. Basically sharing one of my life tenets: What we focus on multiplies! Not long after, the song Lovely Day played. It felt like the universe was handing me a roadmap.

Here’s what I realized: I can be passionate, political, and driven to make change without adding to the noise of outrage. Without reposting the headlines and graphics designed to trigger us. That’s what our leaders are already doing — weaponizing anger to divide us further. Instead, I can share ways to bridge the divide and support organizations who are dedicated to making changes that include all of humanity, not just the wealthy! Again, let's hold our leaders to a new standard on non-violence and inclusivity, not division and radical tactics that cause more pain and suffering.

What Mandela, Dispenza, and Lovely Day reminded me is this: real change doesn’t come from feeding the fire of division. It comes from focusing on solutions, on inclusivity, on raising the vibration of our collective energy. Nelson Mandela stood for peace and unity in the face of unthinkable injustice. Joe Dispenza reminds us that energy is everything — and that we carry within us the same energy that created the universe. That means we are powerful beyond measure.

So here’s what I’m choosing:

• To channel my anger into action, not outrage.

• To share ways we can actually create change, not just react to the latest headline.

• To focus on peace, inclusion, and compassion — because that’s the only way forward.

 And I want to offer you the same. Here are eight ways we can begin making positive change — in ourselves and in our communities:

 8 Ways to Make Positive Change

1. Create or support mutual aid networks.

   Pool resources with neighbors and friends. Food drives, rides to doctor’s appointments, or simply checking in on the elderly or impaired— these small acts create webs of care outside of failing systems.

2. Help your neighbors, no matter what side of the fence they’re on.

   Politics don’t mow a lawn, fix a meal, or comfort someone who’s grieving. Show up for people as people — not as labels.

3. Practice daily calming rituals.

   Meditation, mindful breathing, journaling, or stepping barefoot into the grass can shift your nervous system from fight-or-flight into peace. If you’re calm, your presence becomes calming to others.

4. Learn before reacting.

   Before reposting a headline designed to trigger outrage, pause. Read, research, and reflect. Look at a variety of sources across multiple platforms not just one or two. Respond from awareness, not anger.

5. Volunteer your time.

   Local food banks, shelters, schools, or community gardens are always in need. Serving side by side with others reminds us of our shared humanity.

6. Have real conversations.

   Talk to people you disagree with, not to debate but to listen. Anger softens when people feel heard.

7. Redirect your dollars.

   Support local businesses, ethical companies, and organizations that stand for justice and compassion. Where your money flows, energy grows.

8. Be the energy you want to see.

   Carry kindness into your daily interactions — with cashiers, coworkers, strangers on the street. Energy is contagious, and yours can be the spark that shifts a day, a room, or even a life.

   
   

And one more! Drive to a private location and scream the F-Bomb in your car (or whatever words connect you to your anger). Scream as loud as possible. Invite friends to join you. When you are finished place your hands on your heart and say thank you!

Yes, I am still angry. But I’m also deeply inspired. Inspired to remember that we can be the change we seek (Gandhi). That our energy matters. That how we show up — even on social media — is part of shaping the world we live in.

Because when we shift our energy, we shift everything. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll wake up to a Lovely Day!
