How Can you Deal with Anger?

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.

Some people are angry most of the time. People who have such feelings should talk about them with an adult they trust. Learning how to control those feelings can help a person have a better life.

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.

Acupressure massage is one of the TCM in treating disease and improving the healing of injuries, has a long history.

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.

Touch Therapies: Massage

Healing through touch goes back to early civilization. One of the earliest written documents originated in Asia 5,000 years ago. Hippocrates wrote the effects of therapeutic massage and manipulation when Greek civilization was at its height. Although most cultures have developed some type of touch therapy, attitudes toward touch vary widely from culture to culture. Touch may stimulate the production of healing promoting chemicals by the immune or limbic system.

MASSAGE
Over the centuries, Some nurses provided back massage. Massage was thought to improve the circulation of the blood and assist in relaxation. More recently, the benefits have been more precisely identified and categorized as physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

Physically, massage relaxes muscles and releases lactic acid that accumulates during exercise. It can also improve the flow of blood and lymph, stretch joints, and relieve pain and congestion. Massage is also thought to release body toxins and stimulate the immune system, thereby helping body combat disease.

In the mental-emotional area, massage can relieve anxiety and provide a sense of relaxation and well being.

spiritually, it provides a sense of harmony and balance. The individuals receiving a massage may enter a meditative state, thus relaxing and expanding their awareness.

A variety of massage strokes or movements may be used singly or in combination, depending on the outcome desired. These include effluerage(stroking), friction, pressure and petrissage(kneading or large, quick pinches of the skin, subcutaneous tissue and muscle.

To experience living well i advice you to have massage. just go to your near massage shop or anywhere, where massage service is available.

Aiming for Quality at Work

High quality in one's work is most desirable. The worker who delivers consistently high quality performance is the one who gets quality performance is the one who gets ahead faster and derives a longer-lasting sense of fulfillment from work. Whatever you do-whether it be baking bread or delivering the mail- you can be a high class baker or mail sender by aiming for quality at work.

How is this achieved?
First,
recognize the most common enemies of quality:
.Lack of skill at work
.Lack of concern for the job or the "bara bara mentality"
.A materialistic attitude towards work---when all one cares about it is immediate material gain, not future reputation or track record.
.Also, biting more than one can chew, as in the case of the dressmaker who accepts more job orders than she can finish on time....

High quality work is achieved via the combination of skills and sound work attitudes.

In order to ensure an above average quality in our work, let us upgrade skills constantly and keep abreast of new developments relating to our work.

Let us think that each day we deliver quality at work is a day invested towards a brighter future.

Quality work always results in happy, satisfied customers. Happy and satisfied customers talk well about your wok, and suck talk bring in more customers to your shop.

"Let us all remember that reputation takes time and that recognition is usually given to those who labor long and hard at delivering constantly high-quality performance. Award winning workers are an example of the worthiness of striving for quality."

Some of you think, " What about awards given to one time heroes like honest taxi drivers who return money found in their taxi cabs?" Well, we must remember that honesty is also a "high quality habit" built up through the years. One is not dishonest his whole life and then becomes honest in the face of temptation.

Part III: Work Therapy

This is the last part of the Work Therapy. I hope it would help to make your living well.

26. When you're looking for work, make use of all available resources: friends, agencies, libraries, classified ads, the phone book. Treat the process of looking for a full time job as full time job. It is.

27. You may feel discouraged and anxious when you're unemployed. That's understandable. Find sympathetic ear and share your feelings. Keep moving forward toward your goal. Cultivate patience and perseverance.

28. When you're exploring new job possibilities, identify the skills and accomplishments you've attained over a lifetime of living. For instance, if you've raised a family, you've probably developed considerable abilities that would be valuable to an employer.

29. The loss of job can be an opportunity for learning, growth, change, and new self definition. Take stocks of your gifts and pay attention to what your heart is telling you.

30. Cultivate outside interests so that your life is more than your job. If you've forgotten how to play, spend time with your children-or the child within you.

31. Volunteer work not only blesses those who receive it; its a great source of satisfaction and growth for those who give it. Find a way to lend a hand and make your corner of the world a better place.

32. If you sometimes need to take your home with you, do so intentionally. Other times, you may want to stay late and set boundaries to your workday. If you make conscious decisions about your work, you'll be more energized and focused.

33. Don't work seven days a week. Your body, mind, and spirit need rest and renewal for you to be fully engaged in life. Even God took a day off.

34. When you go on vacation, really go on vacation. Don't drag your work with you, and don't assume "they can't get along" without you. They can. They will. Let them.

35. Fill in the blank: "At the end of my life, i will wish i had spent more time___________." Make this reality now.

If you got something in your head that you think it would make our living well don't hesitate to email me up, or if you got questions feel free to ask me.

Part II: Work Therapy

This entry is
a continuation of my Blog Entry: Work Therapy


11. When procrastination gets the better of you, imagine how good you'll feel when you've accomplished something. Remember that " Well begun is Half done." Or, simply, "Do it."

12. Don't try to do everything at once. When you're feeling overwhelmed, break a complex task into its smaller components. Decide what's most important and do it first.

13. Know the difference between being efficient and being effective. Efficiency is doing things right. Effectiveness is doing the right things. Both are important; don't sacrifice effectiveness for efficiency.

14. Set achievable goals and then recognise when you've reached each one. Take time to reward yourself and appreciate all you've accomplished, without worrying about all you have yet to do.

15. Personalise your work space to create an environment that uplifts and pleases you. Photos of loved ones, artwork, plants, and favourite quotations can make a space your own.

16. The golden rule applies at your workplace: Treat your co-workers and your customers as you would like to be treated. The spirit that's created will enhance your work life and the lives of others.

17. Work out conflicts on the job with charity, grace, and wisdom. Remember that the truth has many facets. Reach out in creative ways to help resolve disputes.

18. If something is broken, don't wait for someone else to fix it. Chip in and use your own unique skills and talents to make things better.

19. Every job has its less than perfect qualities, its difficult and discouraging periods. Make a list of all the good things about your work; refer to it on bad days.

20. If you're thinking about leaving a position or applying for a transfer, list the pluses and minuses of staying and leaving. Weigh them thoughtfully and over time. Avoid rash decisions.

21. If your consistently unhappy with your work, if you never look forward to your workday, decide what would make you happy. Search for ways to make that dream real.

22. If you decide its time to move on, leave on good terms. Don't burn any bridges. Leaving a job doesn't have to mean leaving good friends. Stay in touch.

23. Exploitation, harassment, and unjust working conditions do exist. If you feel you're being abused in your work setting, seek advice. Know your rights under the Law.

24. If you lose your job, don't lose faith in yourself. You are more than your job, and your worth is more than a paycheck.

25. When you lose a job or a hoped-for promotion, let yourself grieve, as you would for any other significant loss. Find healthy ways to express the pain and the disappoinment; then move on with your life.

my next entry would be the last part of Work Therapy. It contains 10 more guides. I hope you would still read my next blog and my upcoming entries. If you got something in your head that would help to make our living well, or got any problem, please feel free to email me up.

Work Therapy

Work, at its, means fulfillment, gratification, learning, growth, and reward. It's a way we express our strengths, leave a mark upon the world.
Work also produces anxiety, frustration, tension, tedium, and disappointment. Work- or its lack- can make us fell harried, ineffective, inadequate, unsuccessful.
If work is bringing you less satisfaction and more stress, or of your workdays is more boredom than bliss, you may need WORK THERAPY.
This guide suggests ways to enhance your work life, to discover-or rediscover- joy on the job, to endure and learn from the tough times, to determine when it's best to move on, and to survive job loss.
Given all the ways we work for a company, for our families, for ourselves; in an office, in a factory at home, outdoors; for money or not-we spend a sizable part of our lives working.
You deserve to make that time the most satisfying and worthwhile it can be. Let WORK THERAPY work for you.


WORK THERAPY

1. Work, like love, is a many-splendored thing. Look at the variety of work you see going on around you. Marvel at it's diversity, the multitude of abilities it demands, the abundant benefits it brings.

2. All work has dignity. Any task, large or small, is important enough to be done carefully, thoroughly, mindfully. Take pride in your work-and in yourself for doing a good job.

3. Work doesn't have to be paid to be valuable. Notice how much of the really important work in life doesn't involve a paycheck.

4. All work can be creative. Your work is a part of the ongoing creation of the world. See yourself as a co-creator with God.

5. All work should preserve and be in harmony with creation. Find ways to save, economize, and recycle. Be a good steward.

6. Cherish those moments of deep satisfaction in your work: arriving at a breakthrough idea, being part of a smoothly functioning team, discovering the answer to a vexing problem, feeling the good tiredness of a day well spent.

7. Appreciate the hidden moments of joy in your work day: the warble of a robin outside the window, the scent of flowers on a desk, a funny story shared over lunch.

8. When your work is stressful, take a momentary vacation. Stretch, look outside, walk around, take a beverage break, in your imagination surround yourself with what you love.

9. Bring balance, rhythm, and variety of your work. Work with hands as well as your head, with your imagination as well as your reason, alone as well as in groups.

10. Enliven your workday by widening your work world. If you work inside all day, find ways to connect to the outside. If you work with or care for children, seek out contact with adults.

You're Priceless! NINE tips to feeling GREAT about YOURSELF

NINE tips to feeling GREAT about YOURSELF

1. YOUR SELF-WORTH NEVER CHANGES
Every human being is born with innate, God-given dignity and value. Having a strong sense of your inherent worth can help you when others don't affirm or value you as they should.

2. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Look around you and you'll see that everyone has times when they're shy, sad, nervous, quiet, angry, silly,afraid to participate or be embarrassed. People often act these ways when they're feeling inferior. Everyone has times likes, but you can overcome them.
3. DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS.
This is at the root of all inferiority. It's deadly because people tend to compare their greatest strength. There will always be people who are better and worse at something. When people accept who they are, they don't have to compare themselves to others. Compensate instead of comparing. That is, make the most of what your have by concentrating on strengthen what skills you have and develop new ones. If you respect yourself, others will too.

4. ESTABLISH GENUINE FRIENDSHIPS.
The best way to have good friends is to be a good-friend.

5. BE YOUR OWN PERSON.
This requires knowing your values and being faithful to them. If you don't know what you want, or you don't have a plan for getting it, you'll be tossed around and pulled by every attraction that comes along.

6. PAY ATTENTION TO PRAYER AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH.
Pray everyday. Study what really matters in life. Take care of your spiritual needs in order to keep your whole self healthy.

7. STAY IN TOUCH AND COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR PARENTS.
Generally parents are constant and faithful friends who are interested in the well-being and happiness of their children. Most parents have lots of wisdom and love and they can be your in strongest support in times of difficulty. Talk about your problems with them. Seek their advice and pray for them.

8. FACE YOUR PROBLEMS.
Ignoring problems does not make them go away; instead, it tends to lower a person's feelings of self-worth. Solving problems, on the other hand, enhances your self-worth.

9. BE HAPPY AND SHOW IT WHEN OTHERS HAVE SUCCESS.
Self-respect grows when we appreciate others' blessings.
