Forgive me for being blunt but… ranting is like taking a
dump! You might feel better afterwards,
but you leave behind a stink!
We seem to learn this dumping strategy at an early age.
It appears to have several functions:
* It can make the 'dumper' feel better just like the other kind
of dump.
* It can create a distraction - with enough loud yelling and
ranting, maybe the other person won't
call me out about whatever I did wrong.
* Finally, it can be part
of our unfinished business from those terrible two's when we counted on someone
else to make our anger go away.
DANCE WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL APPS
An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…
CREATING NOISE
How many times have you thrown a fit
instead of acknowledging your 'bad'?
Think about this: Ranting is fast, it's easy, and it creates
pain for the other person.
Ask yourself if you really want to do this to someone else… and if you do … do it
consciously!
