Tips for Controlling Anger, Fear, Sadness and Other Bad Feelings

Having emotions is human. It’s how you manage negative feelings that makes a difference. Here are some tips for controlling negative emotions…

Are you an emotional person? Are you easily prone to jealousy, sadness, fear, anger, and even rage?
If you’re emotional, it’s okay. Don’t beat yourself up if you’re more emotional than most people. Realize God gave you emotions and they’re to be used.
It’s when they get in the way of truth that they need managing. In other words, if you don’t get control of your feelings you can hurt others, as well as yourself. And, you can also be deceived, resting on how you feel, rather than what’s actually true.

Does it seem like there’s never enough time in the day to get everything done? Feel like you’re always running late? Here are some tips for taking control of your time and organizing your life.
1. Make a “To Do” List Every Day.
Put things that are most important at the top and do them first. If it’s easier, use a planner to track all of your tasks. And don’t forget to reward yourself for your accomplishments.
2. Use Spare Minutes Wisely.
Get some reading done on the bus ride home from school, for example, and you’ll kill two birds with one stone.
3. It’s Okay to Say “No.”
If your boss asks you to work on a Thursday night and you have a final exam the next morning, realize that it’s okay to say no. Keep your short- and long-term priorities in mind.
4. Find the Right Time.
You’ll work more efficiently if you figure out when you do your best work. For example, if your brain handles math better in the afternoon, don’t wait to do it until late at night.
5. Review Your Notes Every Day.
You’ll reinforce what you’ve learned, so you need less time to study. You’ll also be ready if your teacher calls on you or gives a pop quiz.
6. Get a Good Night’s Sleep.
Running on empty makes the day seem longer and your tasks seem more difficult.
7. Communicate Your Schedule to Others.
If phone calls are proving to be a distraction, tell your friends that you take social calls from 7-8 p.m. It may sound silly, but it helps.
8. Become a Taskmaster.
Figure out how much free time you have each week. Give yourself a time budget and plan your activities accordingly.
9. Don’t Waste Time Agonizing.
Have you ever wasted an entire evening by worrying about something that you’re supposed to be doing? Was it worth it? Instead of agonizing and procrastinating, just do it.

10. Keep Things in Perspective.
Setting goals that are unrealistic sets you up for failure. While it’s good to set high goals for yourself, be sure not to overdo it. Set goals that are difficult yet reachable.
Consider these tips, but personalize your habits so that they suit you. If you set priorities that fit your lifestyle, you’ll have a better chance of achieving your goals.

Women in Army

In the span of 20 years or married life with an army officer, I got an opportunity to see life of army officers, got to know about their tasks, responsible, and environment in which they work. I also go a good chance to interact with many women officers. No doubt that they are performing the assigned tasks well and most of them are happy with their job. However, last month there was front-page news in a National Daily about women officers in Armed Forces. Unnecessary comparison was drawn between them and their male counterparts. I also heard that, efforts are being made to induct them into combat arms, possibly to make up the shortfall. Are we really ready to accept them and are the women capable of handling such tough and challenging role?

Time is an important and unique resource, which can neither be generated nor accumulated and nor does it appreciate or depreciate. It has to be spent in a fixed packet of 60 minutes an hour. Neither it can be slowed nor moved faster, nor it can be regenerated or reversed. All of us are well conversant with the phrase ‘time and tide waits for none’. It is an irony that such an important resource has been least understood, least talked and least taught to the executives, managers and officers who are generally hard pressed for the time. There is a need to manage this valuable resource, whether at home or at work. The sequence in which you perform tasks on an everyday basis will help in making you working day more productive.

Parents who help their children overcome shyness are actually giving them a gift. Yes, a gift. You see, shyness robs people of opportunities in life. While many children outgrow shyness with time, for those of us who carry their shyness forward into adulthood, life becomes one series of missed opportunities after another. Anything you can do to ease you child’s shyness will, in turn, decrease the number of opportunities you child misses over the course of his/her life. That is truly a gift. So then, what can a parent do?

A career in the Defence Forces as an officer has always had a place of dignity and respect amongst the youth, though not very high on the popularity graph as a career option these days. Not withstanding the exponential growth in white collar jobs in the last two decades, the reason to a large extent also depends upon unawareness among the youth regarding the options available, service conditions and quality of life.
