Rumination, Righteous Anger, and The Illusion of Control
When something hurts, the mind often turns it over again and again, as if more thinking could change what happened. That is rumination: an endless loop disguised as problem solving. It can feel clarifying. It rarely is. Most of the time, it is a way to stay busy when we do not know how to feel what we feel.
Anger can do something similar. When it does not move through, it hardens into moral outrage or cold certainty. We replay the same story, collecting evidence, proving our point, trying to feel powerful instead of exposed. Rumination and righteous anger both create the same illusion: if we can think it through, we can control the pain.

Are you interested in working on your personal development? Are you looking for a life coach or a life consultant? Are you feeling stagnant? Do you want to jumpstart change?
My transformational approach is a process where awareness, alignment, and action work together as catalysts to create momentum for change.
*Awareness is knowing what you genuinely want and need.
*Alignment is the symmetry between our values and our actions. It means our inner and outer worlds match.
*Action is when you are conscious that what you say, do and think are in harmony with your values.
Together we build an understanding of what you want to accomplish, and delve deeply into building awareness around any thoughts and assumptions that you may already have. To truly transform your life, I will empower you to rethink what’s possible for you.
