Agitation Needs Community

[Restlessness - IV]

Restlessness sometimes feels a lot like anger. It’s hot and uncomfortable. It’s accompanied by the impulse to act quickly and decisively, often toward someone that bears our projections of anger and wears our blame.

It’s restless agitation.
Restless frustration.
Restless angst.
Restless distress.

And it’s okay. Even good. But not on its own.
It has strong threads of irrationality and bias that sew it together. Always.

Restless agitation needs loving company.

To affirm it.
“What you are feeling is okay, powerful, and important. It makes sense."

To temper it.
“Your frustration is valid. Here are few balancing perspectives."

To direct it.
“Let us help you engage and invest into a solution.”

Restless agitation needs a community for affirmation, balance, and empowerment.
