Working with outrage & disgust

What do you do with moral outrage? It turns out that the way we approach and hold our moral outrage can drain us, or motivate us. The pitfall, that drains us, is getting stuck in our heads.

Today’s practice takes you from anger, to outrage — and then to action. So it doesn’t gnaw away at the time you need for renewal.
