You cannot believe they did it. Of all people, turning on you this way. You want to react in kind, drawing on the anger flowing through you to lash out. Make the other person hurt every bit as much as you do right now.

But how do you stop anger in its tracks before it gets the best of you?

1.  Do Something Grand

Take your anger and turn it into activism. How can you use this to change the world? Volunteer.  Get involved in the community and make the world a better place.

2.  Forgive

3.  Pay Attention to your Muscles

Like walking, exercise is good. Also, anger tends to tighten you up, so a good stretch, or even better, practicing progressive muscle...

Affirmations are powerful positive statements. You may be aware of them as a tool for self-improvement or to help you reach your goals. Did you know affirmations can help improve relationships with your husband, family, friends, and colleagues?

By choosing your words carefully and meaningfully, you can improve relationships in every area of your life.

1.  Show Empathy

You can use affirmations to show the other person that you see their feelings and acknowledge them. Affirmations can be used as a component of active listening. Listen to what they are saying without interrupting; when you speak, you reflect on what they said. You acknowledge where they are and give them space to vent, celebrate, or get their message across.

The key to showing empathy is not contradicting or negating their feelings. Do not offer advice or give a contrary opinion. Just stand with them in their space.

2.  Be Authentic

Make sure your affirmations are coming from a place...

An empathetic person can identify with what someone else is experiencing. They may have had the same experience before. This is not necessary to practice empathy. You might be very good at putting yourself in another person's mindset.

Someone tells you they lost their job. They are going through so many different negative emotions. They are concerned about their mortgage payment and other financial issues.

A person that loses a dream job could start wondering what happened. It took them a long time to get the job they always wanted. They might have been a great employee. Then something occurred that was out of their control. Perhaps the company went bankrupt.

This individual could start questioning his role in the company’s failure. A ton of different negative emotions might be experienced. The empathetic person can fully embrace the feelings the other person is going through, even if they have never lost a job.

Conflict ensues when two opposing parties have different goals, interests, or views, which appear incompatible with one another. Conflict frequently occurs at the height of a stressful situation when everything seems to bubble over.

Typically, it is not just connected to the one event that sparked the outward display of the conflict in the first place. For many women, we bottle our emotions and keep them inside until we fill up with the little bits and pieces that trigger the quarrel.

Resolution can only occur when we can work together to figure out what triggered the conflict in the first place. To resolve the dilemma, we must both agree on the root of the problem.

There are tons of conflict resolution strategies, But unfortunately, no one method will work for every situation. The best thing to do is choose a few and try them out to see how they work in your particular circumstances.

Some of these strategies may seem silly at first, but that is okay. The...

Do you tend to do anything for attention? Letting go of attention-seeking behavior will enhance your relationships and peace of mind.

Keep in mind that a certain level of attention-seeking is normal for people at any age. The issue is whether it is producing trouble in your daily life and preventing you from finding more productive ways to act in response to challenges.

Identifying Your Attention Seeking Behavior:

1. Look for the external signs. The outward signs may be the simplest to spot. Classic characteristics include exaggerated displays of emotions, constantly seeking approval and reassurance, and difficulty dealing with frustration or criticism.

• You might also tend to take inappropriate risks and focus too much on your physical appearance.

2. Pinpoint underlying causes. It might be difficult to get in touch with the feelings that motivate you to seek attention, but it is critical to making positive changes. Often, this conduct links to a...

No matter how much we may try, there is just no way to escape some difficult conversations. However, there are positive things we can say and do to help us better handle them.

The first response may be to change the subject when faced with a complex conversation. This will not solve the problem or heal the hurt that caused the situation in the first place. It is healthier to take in a deep breath, gather your thoughts, and face the difficulty now rather than later.

Keep in mind that it is not your responsibility to fix the situation unless you were directly involved. People sometimes need a friend to listen to when they are going through challenging circumstances. They do not want you to fix issues for them.

Being accessible to listen is sometimes the most excellent way to show your friend that you care.

If the situation obliges you to talk with a person going through struggles, try to put yourself in their shoes. What might you wish for a friend to tell...

You need to take control over your emotions to master anger management. You will need to get into a mindset that allows you to think before you speak or act.

If you do not learn to control your anger, you can destroy the relationships around you and cause emotional and physical harm to everyone, including yourself.

About Anger

Anger serves an essential function. Anger is an emotion that warns women that something is wrong. It may even help us get out of dangerous conditions. But at times, the threats are just perceived, and anger is not appropriate.

Anger itself is not the main problem. Attempting to feel less angry may help you in some circumstances. But your goal should be to discover how to express yourself more healthily.

These seven strategies will assist you in keeping a 'cool head':

1. Do not React. Think about the settings that have moved you into trouble in the past. You likely instantly reacted to the problem at hand with angry emotions. If presented with a stressful...

Though a painful reality, broken relationships are not the end of the story. Whether it’s with family members, friends, or others close to us, the heartache from these fractures can feel overwhelming. However, the message of the Gospel is one of hope and restoration. Jesus Christ, the ultimate restorer, came to heal the wounds of our broken relationships and bring us back into harmony. His life and teachings provide a roadmap for restoration, guiding us towards reconciliation and peace. He restores our relationships and gives us supernatural power to love and treat each other with dignity and respect.

I am sure you have heard the saying, ‘you cannot pour from an empty cup.’ This is why you need to learn to take care of yourself. Keeping yourself motivated is an inside job.

You might do an excellent job of creating the right environment and getting the requisite resources to succeed, but if you are not taking care of yourself, you will not stay motivated for very long. It is hard to keep pushing yourself to do more when your body is already falling apart under pressure.

 “You, my Lord, are the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. You will not grow tired or weary, and Your understanding no one can fathom. You give strength to the weary and increase the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but when I hope in You, O, Lord, my strength will be renewed. I will soar on wings like eagles; I will run and not grow weary, I will walk and not faint. (Isa. 40:28–31).” —...
