Tips of the Day:

I spoke about I said that I’m going to be speaking about anger and ways to deal with anger, I think that society at times does not allow us to deal with certain situations and with the daily pressures of life,now these tips might just as it helps you deal with difficult situations or periods in your life head on …

1. Allow time for anger to subside. Allow quiet time - allow for silence. You cannot solve problems when you are extremely emotional.

2. Refocus on what you want to see happen. Ask: What do I want the outcome of this situation to be?

3. Acknowledge the situation. Keep your voice calm. Use eye contact and slow but firm gestures. Let the person know you want to talk and to also listen to what he or she has to say.

4. Maintain respect. Don`t scold or humiliate. Treat the person in an adult manner even if their behavior appears childish.

5. Give the person time. Take the pressure off, allow cooling out time. Usually, the more upset a person is, the longer it will take to calm down. Take a time out until you are calm.

6. Strive to Forgive. The final step in maintaining anger-release is to truly forgive the person who wronged you as well as to truly forgive yourself.

Quote of the Day:

Mother Theresa – Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies

It’s time for me to love and leave you. You must have oh so super Tuesday. Let’s chat again on tomorrow…Much Love…Peace.
