Dear Lou,

I find that if I am angry or disappointed in myself, I tend to be angrier at others. A healthy lifestyle and being true to my convictions helps me spiritually. To give you one example, I eat mostly a plant-based diet of whole foods. I'm a vegetarian. By doing this, I know that I am saving animals. I feel it makes me healthier and closer to God and nature. The truer I am to my own convictions, the more content I am with the world around me.

I have some spritual practices such as meditation through deep breathing which also helps to center me.

I also try to look at the big picture when something about the world angers me or when someone is hostile. I try to remember that the "offender," so to speak, may be behaving out of fear just as my own anger is often fear-based. Or, on an interpersonal level, I may be perceiving some kind of offense when the person means no harm.

I also treasure the company of like-minded people. Spiritual support is invaluable.
