Reiki Challenge, Day 1 - Letting Go of Anger

The first principle I wanted to meditate on for the Reiki challenge was, "Just for today, I will let go of anger." I sat for a little bit, said the principle to myself, and just listened. What I heard (paraphrasing a bit) was:

Do not be so quick to get angry. Everything happens for a reason, and when something doesn't go your way, there is a reason for that also.
Turn your anger into something productive/constructive. Use that energy for something positive.
When someone hurts or angers you, instead of lashing out, rectify the situation calmly. **Should add "if possible" here. If it can't be rectified, walking away is better than getting upset.**
Let go of the past. Those previous hurts do not define who you are, so why hold on them?
Whenever you get angry, ask yourself. "is this healthy?" If the answer is no, let it go.

I will update this as more things come to me, as I plan to keep this principle in mind for the rest of the day.
