Through inner peace, genuine world peace can be achieved. In this the importance of individual responsibility is quite clear; an atmosphere of peace must first be created within ourselves, then gradually expanded to include our families, our communities, and ultimately the whole planet. Do you find that your life is filled with stress? Does it seem as if there is always something happening that encompasses your entire attention, and therefore drains positive or high-vibrational energy? As our society grows more and more complex, finding true inner peace becomes more like trying to find an oasis in the desert. So I thought it might be helpful to share with you some of the methods that I use in my life to experience inner peace and disconnect from my hectic daily routine. But first let's look at a definition of inner peace and what that state truly is. Inner peace (or peace of mind) refers to a state of being mentally and spiritually at peace, with enough knowledge and understanding to keep oneself strong in the face of discord or stress. Being "at peace" is considered by many to be healthy (homeostasis) and the opposite of being stressed or anxious. Peace of mind is generally associated with bliss, happiness and contentment. ** To read the full article, [go here.] ------------------------------------------------------------ *** ARTICLE: 10 Solutions for Healing Anger Problems - By Telka Arend-Ritter LMSW *** ------------------------------------------------------------ "People who fly into a rage always make a bad landing." Will Rogers Try these 10 solutions whenever anger starts to cause problems in your relationships or your life. 1. Practice mindfulness. Become a witness to your anger emotions without judgment. Anger need not be harmful. You may identify and experience anger without choosing destructive behavior. YOU CHOOSE YOUR RESPONSE. Choose dignity. Spend time each day mindful of your decision not to cause harm with your anger. Learn from your success. You can control yourself. Continue to notice your improvements. Example A: When I arrived home from work and found my apartment in a mess, instead of my usual blaming, shaming and yelling, I decided to take a shower, cool off and then think about why I was feeling so angry. Example B: Rather than becoming defensive or angry when my partner criticized me, I remembered to breathe and to listen without reacting emotionally. I took the time to calm myself down. Then I was able to address the criticism constructively by problem-solving. I treated my partner as I wish to be treated. ** To read the full article, [go here.] ------------------------------------------------------------ *** BOOK REVIEW: The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything - By Ken Robinson and Lou Aronica *** ------------------------------------------------------------ The Element is the point at which natural talent meets personal passion. When people arrive at the Element, they feel most themselves and most inspired and achieve at their highest levels. With a wry sense of humor, Ken Robinson looks at the conditions that enable us to find ourselves in the Element and those that stifle that possibility. Drawing on the stories of a wide range of people, including Paul McCartney, Matt Groening, Richard Branson, Arianna Huffington, and Bart Conner, he shows that age and occupation are no barrier and that this is the essential strategy for transform-ing education, business, and communities in the twenty-first century. A breakthrough book about talent, passion, and achievement from one of the world's leading thinkers on creativity and self-fulfillment. ***** The list price of this book is $16.00.
