Keep your cool

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.  Are you struggling to keep your cool when you are upset?  It can be easy to tell yourself that this is just the way you act when you are upset.  It doesn't have to be that way.  Call me for information on Anger Management, offered in Kalamazoo at Desert Streams.  There is a way to change what you do when you are angry...eight sessions....usually covered by health care.  Why not?  Tracey Tyler, licensed clinical social worker, for enrollment information 269-808-1918 call or text.

Planning

Plan ahead.  Organize the minutes, days, weeks.  Develop a task list.  All these commands calling out to a random mind to get reigned in and on track to be the best one can be.  But, perhaps there is another road. Starting the day with the Creator of the universe and letting direction for the day flow from Him may actually get us where He wants us to be, not where we want to be.

Feeling too much

Become one or stay two?

Ever had the experience of feeling too much for others?   I've been known  to come along side someone and just share their pain.  Become one with them, so to speak. Wallow in the emotion...together!!! Somewhere along the way I learned that sometimes (maybe lots) I felt things for other people that they weren't even feeling. A veil was lifted! 

Last week I felt for another person something they were completely over.  I put out my boundary, refused a request.  Then for the next 15 minutes I had to talk to myself about why it was appropriate for me to refuse.  I got over it because I decided that it was in fact an appropriate refusal.  However, I later found out that I spent about 14 1/2 minutes longer being upset than the other party.

So, the take away is, sometimes it is necessary and healthy to put your boundaries out...refuse a request...say no.  Most of the time, even though the other party might not be happy at the time, they will immediately get over it...you should, too.
