The 2nd step is uniting. Here we are recognizing that the presence of God, The Higher Power, the Divine (whatever term you prefer to utilize to describe this presence) is present inside your own being, and if doing a prayer exercise for somebody else, knowing that the presence of this is in their being as well.

(I'm one with Spirit).

Chapter 9: Secrets to control your anger

Synopsis

Stress often leads to unforeseen anger outbursts, especially when the underlying issues are not addressed. The outbursts can sometime be so unexpected, that it could take on an element of violence, and this of course is very damaging indeed.

The following are some secrets on how to exercise control on the individual’s anger issues so that stress can be avoided:

Anger

Taking a time out can be especially effective in controlling the possibility of having an anger outburst displayed. It gives the individual a chance to step back and take a moment to relax and collect his or her thoughts. This usually works well, if the individual moves away for the situation that is causing the anger, and focusing on something else temporarily until the anger subsides.

When the individual has regained some control of the anger, and it is no longer dominating the body and mind, then the individual would be in a better position to address the original situation that brought on the anger in the first place. It would also have given the individual the time and space, to reconsider the facts and the feelings, and if the anger was warranted.

Learning the art of controlling the tongue is perhaps to most powerful exercise the individual can and should master. By being able to think before expressing anything verbally, the individual is well able to ensure better encounters and outcomes, as anger usually brings out the worst in people and circumstances. This negative contribution of anger will not help to solve anything and instead will eventually cause elevated stress levels.

Coming up with solutions rather than focusing on the problem may also be another route to take when it comes to addressing anger issues. If the individual is occupied with finding a solution, then there is less likelihood of the mind dwelling on the negativity of the problem which contributes to the anger.

Chapter 6: Don’t Give In And Be Consistent

Synopsis

Disciple is really is rather hard for a parent to consistently participate in especially when the parent is either usually never around or when the child is clever enough to seem innocent when the time for disciplining comes around.

Keep Going

However parents should understand that all discipline should have some form on consistency, in order to be effective on any level. There is also the important of making the child understand this attitude of consistency so that he or she will understand that every action has a consequent reaction be it positive or negative.

If the parents are able to be consistent and stand their ground no matter what, the children will soon learn the importance of weighting their actions before actually acting upon them. This will eventually makes things easier for both parent and child.

Being consistent and steadfast in the discipline area will also help the younger child understand the particular behavior or action is not going to be tolerated and thus will slowly wean themselves off.

However if the discipline is not consistent the child will learn to maneuver the situation according to the parent’s mood swings thus teaching them how to cunningly get their way.

Besides this the child will also be very confused when the disciplinary action is not consistent and the child will not really be able to understand the enormity of the negative act if the punishment worked out differs considerable each time.

Trying different types of punishment in order to make the child understand the negative act is unacceptable is alright but the disciplinary action worked out should be along similar lines of severity so that consistency can be effectively maintained at all times.

For the parent, keeping to this consistency will also make their job much easier and predictable and this is an important feature to incorporate in the child’s mind.
