Anger Management: RESPOND, Do NOT React When Using Your Emotions as Tools.

Think about the last time you got angry. Example #1: Maybe, you were driving and another driver cut in front of you. If you immediately got angry, made an obscene gesture, or used language you wouldn’t want your five year old to repeat, it is safe to say that you reacted to the situation. When you act without thinking, you are reacting. Reacting often leads to regret for having done something you later wish you had avoided.

I Saw Red: How to Stop Rage in its Tracks

Many people have had the experience of anger that goes out of control. What mechanisms are at work when anger turns to blinding rage? Researchers have termed this kind of response as reactive aggression and discovered that when one is engulfed in a rage reaction, the thinking part of the brain is not functioning well (Tyson, 1998). When a person experiences a reaction to what they perceive to be a frustration or a threat, the body prepares for action, not thought.

Kids + Divorce + Blended Families = Anger

Divorce - it's a word that makes me cringe every time I hear it. Mine was thirty-two years ago (not of my choosing) and was one of the most painful periods of my life. Two people brought together in love take a sacred vow to love, honor, and cherish one another for ete ity. No one ever says, "Till I get tired of you" or "Until you become too much work" or "Unless I find someone better." If that were the case, I dare to say few couples would choose to tie the knot.

Is it difficult to accept or give credit for a job well-done?

There are many sides to the issue of credit. This can be a huge conce for some, as the ego has a tendency to want to take credit for everything and then moves us into feeling guilty. This cycle is known as the “Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda” syndrome. If we are avoiding accepting credit it is an indication that we aren’t confident in our abilities. Some may interpret that by accepting credit that it is an indication that something is owed. And yet when we discard or reject receiving recognition for a job well-done, it’s only because we are in fear.

Sarcasm, Fear and Arrogance

Consider the following scenario: you and your neighbor engage in a political discussion.

Adult Temper Tantrums: the Why's and What's

Each one of my children threw one temper tantrum in their lives. As with all toddlers, overwhelming frustration can lead to a meltdown of epic proportions.

How to motivate yourself without self-blame and self-criticism

You work hard to please the people you love. You long to see a smile on their faces. You hope that you have brought them joy. You want them to come alive because of your thoughts and actions. You imagine the scene over and over and it makes you fill up with desire and motivation to do that one extra thing, to go that one extra mile. But you get a mild if ‘blah’ response. Disappoint deflates you. All that motivation to work hard to make your loved ones happy dissipates. You are left empty, tired and unrewarded.

Rumors and Gossip: Damage Control, Part 2

They all complained about the daily gossip that ran rampant among them. Every one participated in it yet ironically no one could understand why they would be targeted.

Any one of them could have had a successful career as a reporter for the National Inquirer. However, should their ears heed disparaging words about themselves, all hell would break loose.
