Anger Management गुस्सा अच्छा तो है पर पता नही अकसर लोग कहते मिलते जाते हैं कि गुस्सा नही करना चाहिए. गुस्सा सेहत के लिए अच्छा नही होता वगैरहा वगैरहा. पर गुस्सा तो अच्छा है. सच मे, बहुत अच्छा है. अब घर की ही बात करें तो घर पर कई बार आपको लगता होगा कि आज […]
The post Anger Management appeared first on Monica Gupta.
Today, in Elizabeth Mosier's class at Bryn Mawr College, I told stories about all those times the world has said no to me. No, this book will never sell. No, your writing sings too slow a song. No you can't combine this with this other and hope to achieve that. No, you can't make up a genre and expect that it will sell. No, you can't color outside the lines. No, we don't like the way you've colored within them. No, we won't hire you for that job. No, I do not wish to know you. No, I will not continue the friendship that only last week we appeared to be having. It happens often where I live; it doesn't matter how many books I've published or how many client projects fill my cabinet drawers or how much I think I've learned about relationships. And it doesn't only happen to me. All of us, on one day or another, are looking no-ness in the eye.
I started gardening a few years ago, and the no's started hurting less. Then I started dancing, and a greater easiness set in. I got into the habit of daily counting my blessings, and the no-ness became an even dimmer ache; I would not let it paralyze me.
Late this afternoon, I came upon the following words on MSNBC.com, and I thought at once that I must share them with you. The story is about the ways in which
bottled anger can actually damage your heart, and the words are these:
Anger can strangle blood flow in the heart and lead to abnormal heart rhythms, and has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease. I have to think that bottled heartache can do the same. My message with this post is simple, then: Learn from the no's what you can, and then move past them. Keep your own heart in tact; let it beat free.
When my son was little he struggled with his temper. A doctor sat him down one day and told him about the Anger Monster. He explained how his behaviour was like a little Anger Monster who got really big when he allowed it. He told him that when this happened the monster was stronger and became the boss of him. Like most small children, my son didn't like anyone being the boss except him.
The Ghost Mirror

YA/Dark Fantasy
Thirteen-year old Mave is no ordinary girl. For one thing, she happens to be a black-eyed, redheaded powerful witch, so much so that even her own parents fear her. Not understanding her powers, her mom and dad have chosen to ignore and neglect her to the point of emotional cruelty.
The only person in the world who seems to love and understand Mave is her grandmother, and when she takes Mave to live with her in her big mansion, the young girl couldn’t be happier. Soon, however, Mave discovers a strange and mysterious old mirror in the attic. Grandmother warns her to stay away from it, but sometimes curiosity can be more powerful than reason. Mave touches the mirror, with dangerous consequences. She’s transported into a dark and magical world and faced with a grand mission: she’s to destroy the evil Lavender Man… or die.
Talented author Jamieson Wolf has penned a dark, sometimes macabre, beautifully written novel for young adults and adults alike. His lyrical prose flows like the magic in his story and has an old-fashioned tone to it which perfectly complements the plot. Some of the vivid images in the book are quite haunting, like the Tree Lady of the forest and the Lavender Man sucking the spirit from his victims. Above all, the beauty of the language stands out, as well as the author’s obvious love for storytelling. I was drawn from start to finish into Wolf’s darkly magical world and look forward to reading the sequel soon.

It was such a gift to have you in our classroom today, Beth!

Thank you Beth, and let's DO eat cake because we have each other.
I have to say, Beth, that one of the ways I've found of moving past the no's in my life is to come and be blessed by your blog. Yep, you really help keep my heart intact. A million thank you's.
I love this; what a wonderful message. Thank you.
Great post, it's so true that we're bombarded with No.
It's scary how bottled anger increases the risk of heart disease.
What a wonderful, beautiful, relevant, and important message! So .... yes, I agree ... and I adore you and your writing!!! :-)
I think I just felt my shoulders relax. I don't have anger, but I do have stress.
