I was abused decades ago and yet I hung onto a lot of anger for a long time. I realized it was making me miserable. So I did visualization of my anger being in big balloons tied to my head. Then I said to myself, I want to let go of this anger that is so strong for so long. Then I cut the strings on the balloons and let them float up real high in the sky and then burst like an atom bomb. I have felt better since. I also prayed to let go of the anger, too. Life is too short to be angry all my life. I previously have worked on my emotions in therapy but always had an anger issue even after therapy. I really am glad I have let go. It feels good to have happy thoughts again. Now this isn't saying I don't get annoyed at times. That's normal.
