Zachary, just remember that it takes time to effectuate change. Your unconscious mind is used to following certain patterns and will seek to continue to follow them, even if your conscious mind has other ideas. So how do you train your unconscious mind to follow new patterns? For me two things helped: being mindful of my thoughts and tracing the source of any anger or hate I was feeling, and then meditating later on what caused me to start thinking that way in the first place. For me the source is always an aspect of myself whose formation I can trace back to childhood trauma (or sometimes past life trauma 
).
This process takes time, to break the old habits and develop healthier ones, but with faith it can be easily accomplished.
The archetype that I feel relates to this is the Alchemist, who through patience and discipline can transform the energies of the body.
