22/03/23 Learning A Lesson About You!

                       

              Learning

           A Lesson 

           About 

           You!

Hi and thank you for joining me on this week's blog.....

Let's begin with me asking you to take part in a little exercise - just for the moment grab a pen and piece of paper and write down 20 things that you enjoy doing.  

Once you have all 20 written down ask yourself these questions:-

How long ago did I do one of these things?

What did it feel like when I did it?

Did it cost money or was it free?

Did I do it alone or with someone else?

Was it free to do or did it cost money?

If I had never experienced it how would I feel?

Is it a fast or slow paced activity

Does it have a link to mind or body?

Does it link to my job?

If I had to book just one activity in my calendar right now what would it be?

When is the soonest time I can have a truly joyful experience?

Now read your answers through carefully and then ask yourself 

What does my list say about me?

Who could I ask to support me in making these things happen?

and finally 

What would the personal benefits be from doing more of the activities on my list?

20/01/23 Too much to do.................(maybe!)

                                                                      Too Much 

To Do (Maybe!)

Hi things became really hectic this week, what with meetings, cars to sort, vans breaking down and lots of personal things to attend to!

It was so hectic that by the time I realised that the blog had not been done it was today (Friday)

So looks like I might be spending some part of the weekend getting in front with posts making it that I have a library to turn to ....... he says hopefully!

There are lots of things happening in my world at the moment and by the time I get home in the evening I have been known to slob in a chair until bed time!

Anyway apart from that things are good........today I have been creating a poster for a forthcoming event I am involved with.

So please bear with me as I try to get back on track.

Love and Light

DAve xx

A Short Post About Anger

Hi it's DAve and thank you for joining me on the Altered Image Coaching blog.

I feel I must provide my apologies for my recent absence.  For anyone who did not know I was taking a very much needed and (I hope) a well deserved break.

I have never visited so many grand homes in my life (and all the time I was thinking I really should be living in one of these places!)  But Lady Luck has not yet seen fit to allow it and so I must remain ever hopeful.

So to get on to the business at hand - let us take a look at a collection of thoughts concerning "Anger", some of which are my own and others are from other people.

Anger - is something to be aware of!

It is an emotion characterized by antagonism toward someone or something that you feel has deliberately done you wrong. 

That said though it is also true that "anger can be a good thing!" 

It can give you a way to express negative feelings, for example, or it can motivate you to find solutions to problems. 

But (a word of caution here) excessive anger can cause problems.

Anger is a natural reaction that we experience if we feel threatened or frustrated.  

It is the first emotion that we experience and the last one that we learn to manage effectively.

Human infants begin to really display anger as early as 4 months old, and then as we get older we spend the rest of our lives denying it or suppressing it as a troublesome emotion.

There are believed to be 2 main types of anger:-

1. Destructive anger and 2. Healing anger

Destructive anger - this form of anger is expressed in an unhealthy way and causes harm. 

For example, a person may act out aggressively towards others. 

The anger might also be turned inward, resulting in deliberate self-harm or substance use!

Healing anger - this form of anger is expressed when it arises - at whoever triggers it and the issue that triggered it.

What is the real cause of anger?

Feelings of anger arise due to how we interpret and react to certain situations. 

Everyone has their own triggers for what makes them angry, but some common ones include situations in which we feel threatened or attacked. frustrated or powerless.

So there we have a few pointer that may help you work with any feelings of anger you may have going forwards.

Hopefully you will have found these points both interesting and helpful.
