Will Rodgers once commented, “Anyone who flies off in a rage is going to have a very rocky landing.

Perhaps an oyster is one of the finest examples of patience in action.  It takes an irritation and makes it a pearl.

Are the ways to better handle ourselves when self-control becomes no more than a memory?

1.Splash water on your face, the colder the better. Shock your system awake to the fact that you are acting irrational by doing something at least momentarily rational.

2.      Take a walk.  It is a good way not to let your anger take you.  And if one trip around the block isn’t enough, walk until your energy level becomes more and more incapable of supporting your anger.  In short, short, short change your fuel supply.

3.      Write down your anger moments on paper.  Preferably on a pad or even a diary.  It allows you to look back on your moments of foolishness and see how long it is taking you to get to the point you are beginning to minimize them.

4.      Count to 10…backwards!  While hanging your head in shame and while watching the whole process in the mirror.  It’s one thing to be an idiot out of control.  It’s really something else to watch that idiot (you) first hand.

5.      Force yourself to do something constructive such as working in your garden or following through on your to do list.  It very therapeutic to be constructive when all you are really feeling is destructive.

             And, oh yes, for those of you who argue it is unhealthy to hold anger in and that rather it should all be allowed to hang out; there are a host of psychologist who underline that this is a dangerous myth.  And that doing so only escalates anger.

A quote below from tomorrow's ONE A DAY blog entitled   HANDS (1^st in Series)

Eight fingers and two thumbs.  So describes your hands, which are really history books on review.  Look at them and let them remind you of all that they have done in your lifetime.  For yes, they have been servants of your thoughts and beliefs translated into action.

Ask   yourself how many have they helped?

How many have they hurt?  When, and where and why?  When you have
