We're gonna get all of them done before lunch and then green screen.

But I can't wear these pants, because they're green.

Hey, it's Marie Forleo and you are watching MarieTV, the place to be to create a business

and life you want to snuggle with and cuddle with and kiss and love.

Today's question comes from Ava who writes:

My question is, why did God make the feeling of anger?

I ask my mom every day if Marie is gonna answer my question today.

This, honestly, is one of the best questions ever.

And I've got to say, huge thanks to Ava's mom for sending it in to us.

You know, one of the things that my mom taught me when I was just about your age is that

I could talk with God any time I wanted to.

You know, she said I had this direct line to God and I could ask questions, and I'd

What I'd have to do is just listen to that still, small voice inside.

Now, that said, I do have an A for your Q.

I believe that God made anger so that we could use to to create a much better, more loving

It's not bad, and it's certainly not wrong to feel.

Anger really is just energy, and all energy can be transformed.

This is something most people don't know.

Once you understand anger and you really know how to use it, it can actually turn into this

Because it can help you do things like stand up and speak out to help other people.

So, for instance, let's say that you saw someone being mean to another person.

Now, you might start to feel angry about that.

You can take that feeling and you can use it as fuel to do something positive like maybe

protect that person or speak up for them and their rights.

So I really think that God gave us anger so that we could use it to transform it into

the most powerful force in the entire universe.

And here are three steps that'll help you do just that.

Step number one, first thing you've gotta do is you've gotta really feel it.

So when I say feel it, here's what I mean.

I want you to take a really deep breath and see if you can feel that energy somewhere

Just like you know how excitement can sometimes feel like butterflies in your belly?

Well, see if you can feel that anger energy in your body.

So is it in your chest or maybe is it in your throat?

Because when you allow yourself to really feel an emotion in your body, typically it

only lasts just a few seconds before it changes into something else.

So when you really allow yourself to feel that energy, then we're gonna be ready to

Step number two is this: you've gotta question it.

I want you to get really curious and ask yourself, Ava, what exactly do you feel angry about?

So ask yourself, what do you think should happen instead?

This is where perhaps it would be a good idea to talk with your mom or your favorite teacher,

or you can even jot down your answers or draw a picture about it.

Because understanding what you feel angry about and why is gonna help you understand

your values or what you really care about in this life.

So some examples are things like fairness or kindness or generosity.

And once you know your values, that can help you move on to step number three, which is

Step number three is where we get to transform it.

And this, my darling, is where all of the magic happens.

So remember, right, anger is just energy and all energy can be transformed.

Now, you want to ask yourself, is there some positive action that you might want to take

to either help yourself or to help someone else?

Is there something that you might want to make or share with others?

Is there something that you can imagine that you could do to help you convert or transform

that energy into a loving, positive action?

Now, once again, this is all really great stuff to talk about with your mom or your
