Worry Management

Worry I’m seated at this table, thinking about how and what I would write. I didn’t know what to write about or how I’ll go about writing it. Confused, tired, and feeling stressed with my head aching, then I thought about writing what’s happening to me, the same thing that happens to many people. Worry. Many people worry. In fact almost everyone worry. Worry is an uneasy feeling caused by thoughts of what will happen if this or that is done. Worry doesn’t make one look at how a problem would be solved, instead, one keeps looking at the possible outcomes of a certain decision taken. This can cause stress. As it can cause physical stress, it can also cause mental stress. Having these kind of stress can affect the way our day can be. One can be affected physically also, displaying symptoms of what happened to me earlier, tiredness, confusion. When you worry, it affects your reaction to certain actions. Let me use myself as an example. While being worried about what to write about a...

While I’m not a doctor or medical practitioner of any kind, there are some things I’ve could out through reading, listening and observations. I’ve learned about somethings that people experience that they don’t know about, or they know about but don’t understand properly, like today’s topic for example.

ANGER There are many books, articles, stories about anger or anger management. Still, we see people who don’t read these articles or books probably they see it as not important. I decided to write about anger today because there are some things people do overlook that may be of importance to them without them knowing. Our attitude to anger can determine where we find ourselves tomorrow or the next. WHAT IS ANGER? Anger is a reaction, an emotional response to a particular situation that offends someone or a person they love. The Longman Dictionary describes angry as ‘felling strong emotions which make you want to shout at someone or hurt them because they have behaved in an unfair, cruel, offensive way, or because you think that a situation is unfair, unacceptable, etc.’ This description highlights the point that anger makes you want to either shout or hurt someone. Now let’s talk about the effect of anger. While many don’t see this, anger actually causes increased heart r...

Should we end it

SHOULD WE END IT? When is it right to end a relationship? While I’m not advocating that you should end your relationship, there are signs that shouldn’t be overlooked. For a relationship to grow, there must be effort from the two people in the relationship. The moment that isn’t there, there’s problem. I believe when there are issues, it can be sorted out so that the relationship can continue. When do you decide to end your relationship though? Last time, we discussed narcissism. While loving yourself is not completely bad, narcissism makes that love you have for yourself develop to a state that you have to make others feel less just to make yourself feel better than them which sometimes make them talk about themselves more, so that others will be envious of them, thereby benefiting themselves only. There are some who behave like this in a relationship. They can frustrate a relationship sometimes, but that doesn’t call for an end to this relationship. For some, relationshi...
