TENNIS AND THERAPY! Behavioural changes take time. I am a tennis player and years ago I learned incorrect backhand technique, losing many balls to local gardens. Over time, the behavioural neuron paths grew wide and deep and this ‘wrong’ backhand technique became automatic. Nowadays, I may 'know' the right technique, I watch Roger Federer, I try and copy him, but I have discovered that it takes thousands of repetitions to undo an old habit, to create new muscle memory. It is the same with angry behaviour and with ingrained traumatic responses. This requires patience – which may not come easy when or anger and trauma are triggered.

Each time I hit a backhand, as I become aware of the old impulse arising in me to whack the ball, to act out, I consciously choose to impede it. I create space between trigger and response in which to form a new habit. I hit correctly, this is different, new – it requires focus, containment and discipline. Once correct technique is ingrained I can make creative choices about where to place the ball. Beautifully, in the space between awareness and action, I find freedom.

Haruki Murakami in 1Q84 constructs worlds which are not about fantasy for its own sake. They are about the inward journey toward integration — a search for meaning, love and dignity. The alternate universe in which I find myself is a psychological mirror. A mirror I use every day, navigating my own subconscious landscape and my subtle changes, driven by an innate belief that I can survive and grow in this alien alternate world. This universe invites awareness. It teaches that reality is not fixed but fluid — shaped by perception, intention, and presence.

Anger is not a character flaw. It’s a signal: something matters, a boundary has been crossed, a need is not being met. When you learn to listen to that signal—and respond without attacking or abandoning yourself—anger becomes a source of clarity, self‑respect, and change.

There is a river that flows underneath our anger, that deep, unnameable loneliness which exists beneath achievement, identity, and noise — the same loneliness that drives us to distraction, addiction, or love.

Epictetus’ line—“It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters”—is a compact statement of core Stoic teaching about agency, perception, and moral responsibility.
What he means is that external events are often beyond our control; only our choices, and responses are within it. Suffering comes less from events themselves than from the meanings we attach and the actions we take - as explored by Frankl in "Man's Search for Meaning".
I am only in charge of my behaviour and my ATTITUDE!
This can be a HARD TRUTH to swallow at times....

Outrage isn’t the only option.
Collective political events stir strong feelings. Before you post or speak, ask: What value is being threatened for me right now? Channel that energy into a constructive action — write a letter, volunteer, or join a calm conversation — rather than a reactive shout into the feed.

External events shape inner weather. Political instability, media outrage, and public conflict prime our alarm systems, at the moment it is hard to bear the volume of noise coming from world events. Notice when your anger feels louder after headlines; notice if you are addicted to the news cycle. Give yourself a rest: pause, breathe and listen to music or read a book instead.
