John Songy sent me this piece and it is exactly right. Ego is a huge trap many people misunderstand. Be careful to choose if what you drive yourself to is really what you want.

Did you know that anger is a message?
It tells you that you are hurt and you don't want to be hurt.
We can help you control your reactions and interpret the message.

Brene Brown is one of Anger Alternatives favorites. We really like her new format and the message is very clear.

Think about it:
Taking a Risk
Taking a risk is trying to do something that is outside of what you normally do, outside of your comfort zone.
It can be trying new things or opening yourself to new thoughts
A risk might even be to trust yourself.
It is easiest to take a risk when you feel safe.
The new year is approaching, are you ready to take that risk?
Tell me about it. I want to support you.

Think about it:
Being empathetic is a powerful communication skill.
When you are empathetic, you can really hear what is being said.
You can remember when you felt the way the other person feels.
With the empathy comes the compassion.

Think about it:
What would it be like for you if you could stop the reactionary behavior or the self –silencing? What would it be like if you could find your voice and express your anger in a positive and creative way?
Tell me, what it would be like. I am listening and really want to hear you.

Have a happy and safe holiday:

Think about it:
Next week is Thanksgiving and for many it is a time of stress and tension.
This year to make it a different experience, think about what you can do to take out the element of stress.
At Anger Alternatives we call this "doing your homework". So do your homework and give yourself a really happy holiday
and remember, "You only have control of yourself. You have no control over anyone or anything else."

Think about it:
Bullying has to do with the bully's fears, insecurities and ignorance.That being said, although it may be directed at you and is hurtful
to you, it has nothing to with you and who you are. The best way to defeat a bully is to stay in your power.
Here is an interesting article looking at bullying in the workplace: http://greatist.com/happiness/workplace-bullying

Workplace bullying is on the rise, at the same time that employee engagement levels are at an all-time low. In honor of National Bullying Prevention Month (observed in October), we're asking: Is preventing office incivility the key to boosting productivity?

Something a bit different than the usual posts, about friendship. love and most of all, CONNECTION:

All living things respond to and desire to be loved and feel connection with others, whether we admit it or not. The song is called "Friends" by Murray Wall....
