There are actions that you can take to acknowledge feelings of resentment/anger in more healthy ways:
1. Practice identifying and allowing yourself to feel the underlying emotions — such as hurt or fear. Accept those feelings.
2. Take a pause. Be aware of your anger and resentment. Observe it. Allow it to simply be. Hold it.
3. Identify how you could have contributed to the situation that you are feeling resentful about. Be aware the people (including yourself).
4. Try expressing your anger and resentment in other ways. Share these feelings with safe, supportive people that you trust.
5. Practice meditation, breathing and ways to calm yourself.
6. As challenging as it may be, try and find compassion (even empathy) with those who you feel anger and resentment for.
And on a last note, you don’t have to like what is happening in the present, or in the past, but you do need to accept it. This is for your mental wellbeing.
Acceptance will free yourself from holding on to the anger and resentment, allowing you to be more Mindful and at peace.
