People often believe that they are slaves to their emotions: "I hate feeling like this but I can't help it." Some are ashamed of their emotions and try to hide them; still others find some to be offensive, frightening or sinful. But the truth is that all feelings have purpose and value. They are essential messengers that provide us the opportunity to learn a lot about ourselves depending upon which ones enter our hearts. Let's take a look at ten of the most frequently experienced feelings and what they may possibly reveal about us:

The pressure’s on - everything depends on Wyatt’s speech!

Maggie feels caught in the middle The cliques and gossip in the office made Maggie nervous. She wanted to stay on the right side of management and not make any waves. She liked the manager at the Spa, who supported her efforts to bring in new clients. He was appreciative of her willingness to stay late and take new customers at short notice. But some of the other estheticians complained. They wanted overtime, they wanted more time in-between clients and they wanted a larger cut of the fees. Maggie is uncomfortable having to take sides Maggie was fond of her colleagues.

It occurred to me that, “Limitation” and “Happiness” are on opposite ends of the spectrum; so in order to for us move beyond limitation and into happiness, we need to see what we are really holding in mind. Lester Levenson has said, “There are no problems unless we are holding onto them. By trying to eliminate a problem, is an indication that we are holding the wrong thing in mind.”

It's difficult for a lot of people to communicate with each other effectively. Unless you're a recluse, communication is something we all do every day. Perhaps because I'm a motivational speaker, author, and radio host, I can talk ad infinitum. I actually find it enjoyable and relatively easy. Yet there is a significant difference between talking and communicating: talking requires only one person, communication includes at least one additional person. Although everyone may be speaking the same language, it's not uncommon to become frustrated and angry with each other while dialoguing.

We begin forming relationships from the moment we’re born, yet by the time we’re adults, it’s easy to feel completely inexperienced. Whether we’re raised in loving, nurturing homes or in a less open environment, relationships often leave us feeling vulnerable, uncertain and insecure.

OUCH! Before he turned off the engine as he pulled into the driveway, Mia got on his case. He never appreciated her, he hadn’t fixed the shower door, he failed to pick up their son from the child care facility on time, and he drank too much! Doug’s breath came hard and fast. He felt attacked with a barrage of unfair bullets that seemed to hit him unawares. He was unarmed and defenseless.

Three Exercises To Help You Decide If Hoping Your Relationship Can Change Is RealHope Or Toxic Hope

Do you ever wonder why it's so hard to break a habit? Whether it's biting your finge ails, the way you speak, or your reaction to drivers who cut you off on the highway, old habits die hard. The reason being is that behaviors, when repeated frequently enough, become habitual. We no longer consciously think about what we are doing or saying. We react rather than intentionally respond to a person or situation.

We people are amazing aren’t we? We get mad at anyone who dares even think they are going to tell us what to do. The last thing we would ever consider is living in some country where we couldn’t do what we want to do. Yet, we let our mind tell us what to do. Why is it we let our mind run us? We think we are so smart. We are independent, that’s what we would like to think. Yet, why do we let our mind run us all day, everyday?

Here's an example of some common "I can't" feelings experienced by people who struggle endlessly with abundance: - "I always have to work hard to make money." - "No matter how hard I work... or how positive I try to be about my financial situation... I never seem to have enough." - "It's not fair. Other people always get the lucky breaks. If only I had a quick windfall of money all my problems would disappear." - "Money always goes to money. There's no point trying to think differently. I see it everyday. I suppose I should just be happy with what I've got."

Does panic work? Does panic help anyone? Does panic solve anything? How about fear? What good does fear do for anyone? Does fear solve anything? Take a look at the recession. It started off as one small thing and ended up a big thing. In a few short months it morphed from an economic downtu into a full blown crash. What is the common denominator between the crash and the flu? Panic and fear. Sum it up. Hysteria. Mass hysteria.

It doesn't take much to anger some people. Even the most innocent comments can cause some tempers to flare. Innocuous situations can be misinterpreted leading to screaming matches, cursing, or physical altercations. In an instant, violence can erupt where calm once existed and destruction of property, injury to one's person, or psychological damage can occur. Patience, understanding, forgiveness, and compassion are replaced by personal entitlement and arrogance.

What if failure, disappointment and frustration are only a perception? What if so called failures are actually launching pads for incredible motivation and inspiration? What if the only thing that is stopping us from turning our perceived failures into accomplishment, is simply a decision? Truthfully, anytime we accept apparent setbacks as an opportunity to achieve something greater gives us a new point of view… a new focus… and a new adventure.

When we aren’t getting our intentions or achieving our goals, we need to accept that there are limitations and excuses in the way.

No Welcome Home Made Jeremy Angry There was no happy smile. There was no light in her eyes. There was no bear hug. There was no gasp of welcoming delight. Jeremy’s expectation of a warm and affectionate homecoming was decimated. Wasn’t it only yesterday that they had exchanged messages of longing to see one another? Wasn’t it only a minute ago that his whole body was throbbing in anticipation of feeling held by his wife as if he was her most precious possession? What could have changed in such a short time?

Actors and actresses are just regular people with ups and downs. Some are insecure, some depressed, some are even alcoholics or drug addicts.

I do what you want, but you never let me do what I want! Justin had his heart set on the new BMW sports car, but Be ice wondered whether it was the best way of spending money at this point.

When you’re in a positive place you take the right action. Whatever you say or do is effective. It works. When you’re positive, the action you take is correct action because it’s action made in the now, in the present. It’s action based on intuition. In positive energy, all your mental noise, your garbage is out of the way. All your negative feelings are out of the way. Your action is taken from a place of clarity.

Many of us allow others to treat us in ways that are uncomfortable, unhealthy or disrespectful. We remain silent rather than address our disdain for fear of retribution: what will happen if I speak up? Will I lose my job? Will my best friend get angry with me? Will my family choose to no longer speak to me? Will someone argue with me and tell me I'm wrong for feeling the way I do? There are risks involved whenever we voice our feelings and expect change. Not everyone is eager to accommodate our new requests. Some will argue, coerce or try to manipulate us back into our old patterns.

Executive In Life (Part One) In your life, you are the Executive involved, or maybe not. If you are feeling challenged, fulfilled and in balance between your personal, work, family, and relationships; if you are feeling fulfillment from all of your efforts, then you are, indeed, the executive of your life. For you, your personal power of control to make life happen is paramount. For you, your feeling good about your self-involvement is directly proportional to the mental health skills you apply. When faced with conflict, you embrace your self-efficacy to make change happen.r

The issue of facing challenges is a very interesting point. Take a moment and check in with yourself and see “How do you face challenges?” Notice if any of these suggestions rang true with you: * Avoid dealing with person or situation that feels challenged * Complain about challenges * Try to figure out what to do or not do about current challenges that you are experiencing * Use methods similar to parents, family members, friends or colleagues * Become agitated because of challenges that sometimes seem endless

Fear and panic are ruling right now. Are you buying into it? You don’t have to. It’s just a decision. The alte ative is to let the economy, the financial world and the politicians do whatever they do and not buy into the drama. Somewhere along the line somebody gave you the impression you had to get involved emotionally in all of this. Somewhere along the line you got sold on the idea you have to join in on all of these negative feelings, identify with them, make them part of your life.

When are people going to get real? When society reads in the newspaper or catches on local news channels the headlines: Murder-Suicide, Domestic Abuse Homicide, or Workplace Violence, they are intrigued out of the common interest that everyone has been frustrated in a relationship at home, work, and within their communities. It is from this realization people find themselves captivated in their wonder of why: “Why would a person go to such extremes as to purposefully destroy a life, family, or organization?”

Many have debated the benefits of anger management. Some think the classes just aren’t enough. The final decision is quite obvious, with knowledge comes power, even if that power is self-control. The unheard advantage of court ordered classes is the options they provide for those who suffer chronic anger.

Change is only for the purpose of making better decisions that agrees with what we are interested in doing or having, or not doing or not having. If we look at the process of change more closely, logically we can see that some changes require more time and consideration. Certainly things like planning to relocate, changing jobs or career path, or continuing education requires time and thoughtfulness to accomplish any of these elections. However, if the changes we would like to make aren’t initiated within a reasonable time, it maybe because we are allowing fear to intimidate us.

One of my favorite authors, the late Dr. Wayne Dyer, once stated that "There is no way to peace. Peace is the way." This seemed rather contradictory to the common belief that a peaceful state of existence is a destination we arrive at after traversing a righteous path. Wayne challenges us to view peace as a state of mind, a choice, a way of life. One who is serene makes different conscious choices in the way they live. Here are five steps you can take to create a more peaceful life:

They're like mosquitoes on a hot summer night - those irritating and annoying people. They can be found anywhere from our families or coworkers to drivers on the roadways to complete strangers we encounter while on vacation. Their quirky behaviors and annoying habits can ruin our day. Other than blow up, walk away, or simply endure their lack of sensitivity towards others, we're often powerless to do anything about it.

My mother has always been an advocate of forgiveness. When I was a child she taught me early on to let go of being angry with people. If a friend hurt me she suggested that perhaps they didn't realize what they had done. If it was a family member, well, families don't hold grudges. And as Christians, that is what we are told to do: forgive one another as God has forgiven us. Extending mercy towards others has always come easy to me. I've never been one to hold on to resentment or anger.

A Glendale police officer will have to take anger management classes after admitting he hit a driver during an off-duty road-rage incident.

I have a headache. Let me see now. Please allow me a couple of wild guesses. You’ve been upset by the stock market. Up 500, down 500. That’s enough to give anyone a headache if they’re thinking about it all the time. Here’s another guess, you’re upset, maybe angry about the mortgage crisis, the giant companies going out of business, the government response, your 401K, your decision to get into the market or your decision to get out of the market. It’s very confusing, isn’t it? Everyone seems to have a different opinion.

If we were to give up one really bad habit, it should be to disconnect from believing that we are unworthy in some manner. Unworthiness is an untruth that we have bought into. In truth, no one is unworthy unless they have pinned that label onto themself. Sometimes because of our misunderstanding of worthiness, we may mistakenly choose to believe that we are undeserving of good things. In truth, most of us aren’t really sure what is necessary to undo feeling insecure or unworthy, so we tend to do what we have always done.

I used to pride myself on being sensitive. The problem was I was easily hurt by the things other people said to me. I lived in a chronic state of pain which lead to a lifetime of unhappiness and low self-esteem. But the alte ative (being cold and aloof) was less appealing so I resigned myself to a life of sorrow. But as I got older and more comfortable with myself, the criticisms and negative comments of others became less problematic for me. I realized that words have no power other than what I assign to them.

He was trapped in a cycle of neediness, shame and anger at the very person whom he relied upon to keep his business afloat.r

Anger management is the process of learning how to deal with anger in a positive way in order to avoid destructive behavior. Anger is a natural human emotion that can range from mild vexation to raging fury caused by internal or exte al factors. Some examples may be provocation by another person, delayed flight, broken promise, and breach of contract.
