Everyone has angry feelings at times. People usually have good reasons for being angry. The FIRST STEP in dealing with angry feelings is to admit that you are angry. THEN, you need to think about how to deal with the problem that made you angry. You are not likely to solve the problem while you are still angry.

You can get rid of angry feelings in several ways. Getting your mind busy with something else can help you forget the anger. You might read a book, play a game, or work on a hobby. You can also get rid of anger by being physically active. Take a walk, ride a bike, or clean your room. After a while, you can deal calmly with the problem that made you angry.

if you have angry feelings that stay with you for a long time, talk with a parent or to a friend about them. Talking about the feelings might help you become calmer. The person you talk with might be able to help you solve the problem or help you learn to accept the problem.

Part II: Self Image





What are your strengths?
Knowing your personal strengths can help you have a good self-image. Your personal strengths are the things you do well. Nobody is good at everything. You may be very good at sports but have trouble with math. You may find schoolwork easy but not very good at sports. No two people in your class have exactly the same strengths.

You might be very good at activities you do away from school. For example, some young people learn to care for animals. Some young people are good at taking care of younger children or at taking care of the house or yard. Many young people have hobbies that they enjoy and know much about. What do you do well when you are away from school?

Other strengths include the abilities to listen to, to talk with, and help other people. This strengths will be important to you throughout your life.

Many people are afraid to try new activities, but trying new activities can be rewarding. You might find you have a strength you did not know about. For example, you might have musical talents or the ability to write well. Many people have discovered their strengths by trying new activities.

Working hard at your personal strengths will help you have a good self-image. If you are good at sports, you can practice to become better. If you are good at building models, you can try to make more difficult models. If playing the piano is one of your strengths, you can practice to become even better. Think about how you can improve your own strengths.

You can also improve your self-image by trying something that is hard for you. Even though something might be difficult, you can still enjoy it and become better at it. You might never become a great artist, for example, but you can still enjoy drawing or painting.

What Can You CHANGE about YOURSELF?


You might improve your self-image by working to change some thing about yourself. Most people can think of a few changes they would like to make. Some changes are possible if a person is willing to work hard.

Some people feel they do not get along well with other people. They often feel left out. If you often feel this way, you might need to think about how you act toward other people. Most people will treat you the same way you treat them. For example, you might tease people because they are not good at sports. Teasing might hurt their feelings. If you treat other people with respect, most will treat you with respect. You are likely to feel good about yourself when you can get along well with others.

Most people feel better about themselves when they know they look their best. You can improve your self-image by trying to keep your body and clothes neat and clean.

Try to make changes that can help you make the most of your personal strengths and special qualities. Remember that you are a unique person, so avoid trying to make yourself exactly like someone else. Also, learn to accept things about yourself you cannot change, such as your eye color, or your height. Accepting what cannot be changed will help strengthen your self-image.

Boost your Brain!


Trivia on why its important to exercise your brain power.

The Center of the Chain
The brain controls your body's information processing. It's important to take good care of it. Did you know that a study showed that people who ate seafood at least once a week had a lower risk of developing dementia than those who didn't?

Idea?
The brain's energy consumption is equivalent to the energy required to light a 20-watt light bulb. It is also uses up to 20% of the body's oxygen supply. Imagine that, our brain is so small compared to the rest of our body, but it uses up so much energy!

The Brain is Massive
Your brain triples in size after birth, but when you reach 30, it shrinks a quarter in mass every year! Your brain actually gets smaller. So giving your brain some work now ensures that you utilize your gray matter while it's at its optimum size!

If You don't Use it, You Lose it
Like any other organ in our body, if the brain doesn't get enough activity, it can atrophy. When you exercise your brain, you improve your memory, concentration, and performance under stressful environments. You also lessen the chance of getting sick with Alzheimer's.

BRAIN BUILDING
here are some things you can do to keep your brain in tip-top shape

1. A change will do you good.
Getting into a routine might put your brain to sleep. making simple changes in your life like going to a new place, passing a different route, or reading something you don't normally do can help wake up your brain.

2. Live a stress-free life.
Anxiety can give your brain extra, unnecessary work. When stressed, try to close your eyes for five minutes and visualize a place that makes you happy like sunset by the beach.

3. Eat right.
Food rich in omega-3 fatty acids are ideal. Include more fish in your diet. Carbohydrates are also said to be a good brain food. They are mentally soothing.

4. Get fit.
Physical exercise can keep your brain healthy. There are studies that show that physical activity slows down the shrinking of the brain as people age. So even if its just a couple of hours walking a week, do it!

5. Solve puzzles.
Answering crossword puzzles is great the first few times, but after a while, it will no longer feel like much of a challenge. You can try answering a variation of these puzzles. Some of them are available as computer programs or can be downloaded online. Try the Suduko Puzzles. Here is one of my favorite sites that has online sudoko game.

Touch Therapies: Acupressure








Acupressure is a form of healing in which the therapist exerts finger pressure on specific sites. According to the theory that underlies acupressure, 657 designated points can be massaged. These points are similar to those used in acupuncture and shiatsu massage. The points run along 12 pathways or meridians that connect the points on each half of the body. The application of finger or thumb pressure is thought to restore balance in the flow of energy can flow freely, the body can heal itself.

Acupressure is used both to diagnose and to treat ailments. With the application of acupressure, the body is theoretically kept in harmony, thus terminating many minor ailments and preventing them from becoming major diseases. In shiatsu, pressure is applied to the same spots using the points of the thumbs and fingers and also the heel of the hand. Shiatsu's main purpose is to maintain health rather than treat illness.

Touch Therapies: Foot Reflexology




Reflexology is based on the principle that the hands and feet are mirrors of the body and that they have reflex points correspond to each of the body's glands, structures, and organs in that zone. The actual massage technique varies depending on the purpose of the treatment.

Reflexology also called zone therapy, can trace its origins to ancient Egypt. Modern foot reflexology is attributed to William H. Fitzgerald, who developed the theory in the early 1990s. His main contribution was his theory that there are 10 equal longitudinal zones that run the length of the body from the top of the head to the tips of the toes and 5 closely associated zones on each arm. Each great toe is the start of a line that runs up the medial aspect of the body through the center of the face ending at the top of the head. Each zone( five on each side of the body) has a reflex area on the hand and on the foot. According to the precepts of reflexology, more than 72,000 nerves in the body terminate in the feet. When the flow of energy is blocked or becomes congested, massaging the reflex points can release the tension. Blockages in any part of the zone can affect the entire zone.

In the 1930s, Eunice Engham asserted that the feet are more responsive to reflexology treatments than the fingers. The main goal of foot reflexology is to provide relaxation by maintaining or restoring a state of health and relieving congestion or tension in the zone.

At this time, no research has validated the theory of the healing properties of foot reflexology. However, it is believed that foot reflexology, like other massages of the feet, can stimulate relaxation, which affects the autonomic response , which in turn affects the endocrine and the immune systems and neuropeptides. Although reflexology is a relatively safe procedure, experienced reflexologists need to be consulted when the client has circulatory disorders of the extremities are experienced.


Since Reflexology helps reduce stress - what is involved with stress reduction?

Stress and its effects on the human body is also undergoing research. But one way that stress effects the body is by cutting off the blood supply to your cells. In the human body there are capillaries (small blood vessels) that are no more than three cells away from any other cell. In other words, a cell would only have to get nutrients and get rid of waste through the lymph for the distance of three cells until it reaches a capillary. Once in the capillary it moves through the circulation system to either bring nutrition or get rid of waste. These capillaries are very small – about the size of a human hair or smaller. When your body becomes stressed, it tenses up the muscles and essentially cuts off the blood flow to the capillaries. Once the blood flow is cut off, nutrients and waste cannot get to the cells. Over time it can result in death of the cell. Reflexology by relaxing the body allows these capillaries to again get blood flow. When this happens there may be a build up of waste that has been waiting to get out of the area around the cell. These toxins are released back into the blood stream and into the body to be eliminated. Sometimes this can result in achyness, nausea, increased bodily excretions. Due to this fact it is not recommended that clients have more than two hours of reflexology per week. The other thing that helps prevent any of these situations is to make sure that you stay hydrated both before and after the session as the water helps flush out and dilute the toxins.
