TIPS FOR OVERCOMING ANGER & IRRITABILITY

They even look chaotic just written on this page. Anger and irritability are two contradictive emotions that will drain the energy out of you and take over your life if you allow them to. However, the pure, real energy that everyone is made of is more than enough to overcome anger and irritability. The problem that many people have when it comes to overcoming anger and irritability is that they just don't know how to tap into this positive energy. What you must learn to do is to practice a little bit of restriction.

The Problem of the Ego

The reason why overcoming anger and irritability is so difficult for most people is because of the ego. The ego is the part you where the false concept of self comes from.

It can also cause you to overreact to any situation if you allow it. Overreacting with anger and irritability will damage your life and your relationships in a way that they cannot be repaired, but by restricting your reaction, you will spread good energy and light in a situation that started out as potentially damaging. This is called the Principle of Restriction, and it is the key to overcoming anger and irritability, caused by egos.

For example, perhaps one of your friends says something that was very hurtful to you. What does your immediate reaction look like? In some cases, it may be harsh and explosive, and you can never take back the things that you've said.

The words will hang in the air between you forever. However, if you take a deep breath and a moment before allowing yourself to react, you have the power to restrict that reaction and turn it from something that breeds ongoing darkness between you into something that spreads light. Restricting your reactions in this way is known as The Principle of Restriction.

The Principle of Restriction

The Principle of Restriction requires you to take control of your own mind, thoughts, reactions, and actions. When you practice control of what you think, say, and do, you'll find new power to overcoming anger and irritability.

The Principle of Restriction is very simple. The next time someone says or does something that would cause you to respond in anger, practice restriction. Stop right where you are. Send a healing thought and energy to the person who made you angry. Everyone is made of energy, and everyone has the power to share their own peaceful energy with others who need it.

Often, you will find that the people who made you angry are having difficulty overcoming their own anger and irritability. By sending them a calming thought and energy, you will help them reconnect with their own center of peace and calm.

When they reconnect with that type of energy, often they will be able to reconnect with you in a profound way in return. By restricting your initial response to their actions and sending them kind energy, you have opened the door for them to start overcoming anger and irritability. You may even discover that they can help you, too, in ways that you did not expect.

Putting The Principle of Restriction into Action

The most important thing to remember when you are on the path to overcoming anger and irritability is that the answer is inside of you. Your inner Source of Truth, which is The Source of Wealth in You, already holds the answer, and you must tap into it by calmly centering yourself.

The Source of Wealth in You Meditation will reconnect you with your center of calm and peace. All it takes is to set aside some time for yourself each day to just be with yourself in silence, which will reconnect you with the Source of Love that you already have within. It will also bring you a lot of peace and clarity on the path to overcoming anger and irritability.

Your inner Source of Truth lies in your subconscious mind (aka, your Higher Self), and learning to trust it is an important part of overcoming anger and irritability.

Think of your inner Source of Truth as the mechanism of a watch. It always knows what to do, but occasionally, there are other working parts that do not go along with it. When the other parts of the watch do not do as the inner mechanism tells them to do, the watch stops working, and then chaos breaks out. In humans, the inner workings are very fragile, and they do not run if the connection among all the parts -body, mind, and spirit - are not connected and working properly.

Overcoming anger and irritability is what it really means to awaken to The Source of Wealth in You.

When you first try to put The Principle of Restriction into action, it may be a bit difficult, but this must not discourage you. The road to overcoming anger and irritability is certainly worth the journey, and it is guaranteed to bring happiness wealth into your life.

Tips to get rid of Acidity - Home Remedies

Acidity refers to the excess secretion of acid by the gastric glands of the stomach. The stomach secrets hydrochloric acid that is responsible for proper functioning of the digestive system. This acid further secretes various digestive enzymes like pepsin that break the food particles for easy digestion. A normal level of acid is required in the stomach for proper digestion of the complex foods. When there is less secretion of acid the food is not digested properly and in case of excess secretion it gives rise to a condition known as acidity.

Tips on how to become Star Performers:

You don’t get through the door of your organization unless you’re smart. Your smartness appears to fade away slowly and steadily as the days and months pass by resulting in mediocrity. You are given a great designation at the time of joining but giving justice in terms of results & achievements ultimately becomes your choice. You can either make your designation extremely powerful by consistently taking right actions or insignificant by maintaining status quo. Thus, in no way the organization has to be blamed. Just as the country is known by its people, an organization is known by its employees on their pay roll.

YOU DON’T FIND STAR PERFORMERS; YOU DEVELOP THEM.

The difference between a moderate performer and a star performer seldom lies in their innate abilities. The difference is usually found to involve the employee’s approach to the job. It isn’t enough to possess knowledge and expertise. It’s what you do with the knowledge and expertise that counts.

Star performance on a work-place team follows the same principles as star performance on a cricket field. The Captain of the Cricket Team need not be one of the best batsman, bowler or fielder, but he needs to do / achieve which the other members of his team is unable to do. He needs to have or cultivate those innate abilities which will make him indispensable. In other words, he not only has to accurately assess the strengths / weaknesses of each player in his team but also be in a position to decimate his opponents by playing his strategy correctly, methodically & systematically.

Star performers in the work place also need to know where to go for the cooperation, support and expertise they need to do their jobs. Further they need to recognize the places where their own knowledge and expertise can contribute to team results. Several studies have identified the following 9 strategies that characterize star performers. All of them without an exception are qualities that can be inculcated through a good corporate education system.
  • Taking initiative. Accepting responsibility beyond your duties & responsibilities, volunteering for additional activities, and promoting new ideas. Star performers are intensely result oriented & volunteer for additional assignments. As a result, they become the most valuable and respectable people in their organizations. They continually prepare themselves for positions of higher authority & responsibility in the future which make them indispensable.
  • Networking. This is one of the traits which the star performers exhibit consistently in their place of work. They know the value of their subordinates, colleagues, and bosses & get the best out of each & everyone to increase the productivity of the organization. Star Performers make a habit of building and maintaining a network of high-quality relationships throughout their lives, and as a result, they accomplish vastly more than the person who goes home after the closing hours.
  • Self – management. Apart from being managers in their organizations, they see themselves as self-employed. In other words, the star performers develop an entrepreneur mentality, the mentality of highly independent, self-responsible, self-starting individuals. Instead of waiting for things to happen, they make things happen. They see themselves as the boss of their own life & see themselves as self-employed no matter who signs their paychecks. They are the captains of their ships & consistently make efforts to maneuver their vessels from turbulence to safety by adhering to work ethics, time management, performance level & career growth.
  • Teamwork effectiveness. Any work / task can be completed satisfactorily only when people assume joint responsibility by working in groups, putting coordinating efforts & accomplishing shared goals with others. Everything involves relationships. Virtually all of your great successes in life will be accompanied by great relationships with good people who help you and whom you help in return. The star performers in their bid to give out their best associate with people who have the mind & will to give out their best at all times.
  • Leadership. The star performer acts as a leader & does not get himself restricted by being a manager. He is not only a leader who gives direction to his followers during rough weather but he prepares & develops leaders for the future. The amount of time which he consciously gives to each of these areas are: Leadership – 19%, Communicating – 38%, Creating – 31% & Networking – 12%. The star performers understand that every activity undertaken in an organization does not culminate into accomplishment.
  • Excellence. The star performers resolve themselves to be the best at whatever they do. The believe in the maxim “The quality of your life will be determined by the depth of your commitment to excellence, no matter what your chosen field.” – VINCE LOMBARDI. They decide to become excellent at whatever they do & in order to become one they throw their whole heart into developing that skill which they have identified. They work ceaselessly day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year & this commitment alone makes them a star performer.
  • Perspective. The star performer views his job in its larger context and also takes a broader standpoint of the customer, manager & work team. These are the individuals who relate their functions to the overall mission of the company. When you compare the star performers with moderate / mediocre performers they exhibit a complete control of tasks by learning every single detail about how to do the assigned job better & better thus getting excellent rewards for excellent performance.
  • Show & Tell. They present their ideas persuasively in written or oral form. These are the kinds of managers who don’t believe in knowledge storing but knowledge sharing. Their clarity of thought / action / deliverables is remarkable. They always seem to do everything right the first time every time. The reputation for speed & dependability is unmatched as they are always in the mode of “sense of urgency.”
  • Organizational savvy. They navigate the ship of uncertainty extremely well by tiding over the obstacles / difficulties which come their way like waves in the sea. They adjust to any situation as they focus primarily on performance compared to moderate performers who focus on impressing management. They believe in developing strategies, describing the strategies & acting on those strategies to get the required results for their company. They use their expertise, creativity & insight into working with other professionals.

    You can train people to do the mechanical tasks related to your business. But you can’t train them to seek excellence. You change that attitude through consistent input that appeals to an individual’s self interest & organizational spirit.

    Success Rule of Star Performers: Your life only gets better when you get better. And since there is no limit to how much better you can become, there is no limit to how much better you can make your life.

TIPS TO KEEP YOUR PASSWORDS PROTECTED

1. Don't reveal passwords to others

Keep your passwords hidden from friends or family members (especially children) who could pass them on to other less trustworthy individuals.

Be careful with password recovery questions (i.e. "What was your mother's maiden name?") Don't reveal these answers to others and don't choose questions with answers that are freely available on the Web.

<image no longer exists>

2. Protect any recorded passwords

Be careful where you store the passwords that you record or write down.

Don't store passwords on a file in your computer, because criminals will look there first.

Don't carry passwords around in your wallet or hide them under your keyboard.

Don't leave a record of your passwords anywhere that you would not leave information that the passwords protect.

3. Never provide your password over e-mail or in response to an e-mail request

Any e-mail message that requests your password or requests that you to go to a Web site to verify your password is almost certainly a fraud.

This includes requests from trusted companies or individuals. E-mail can be intercepted in transit, and e-mail messages that request information might not be from the senders they claim.

Internet "phishing" scams use fraudulent e-mail messages to entice you to reveal your user names and passwords, steal your identity, and more. Learn more about phishing scams and how to deal with online fraud.

4. Do not type passwords on computers that you do not control

Computers such as those in Internet cafes, computer labs, shared systems, kiosk systems, conferences, and airport lounges should be considered unsafe for any personal use other than anonymous Internet browsing.

Do not use these computers to visit chat rooms, check online e-mail, bank balances, business mail, or any other accounts that requires a user name and password.

Criminals can purchase keystroke logging devices for very little money and they take only a few moments to install. With these devices malicious users can gather information typed on a computer from across the Internet—your passwords and pass phrases are worth as much as the information that they protect.

5. Use more than one password

Use different passwords for different Web sites and services.

If any one of the computers or online systems using a particular password is compromised, all of your other information protected by that same password should be considered compromised as well

TIPS FOR NEW MANAGERS

[IMG]http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMAKqaTeno6AJGayqKzokzedSetPsPF ieXvslhLRRIOsdN1dZkzw[/IMG]

1. “Hard on the issues, easy on the people”

Avoid trying to assign blame to individuals but rather focus on identifying the root cause of the problem. The error may have been yours for putting the individual in a situation that didn’t match their skills.

2. “Manage by exception”

When things are going well, leave them alone. When a problem occurs, intervene. Monitor outliers to identify anomalies (good and bad) rather than focusing on averages.

3. “People are your most valuable asset”

Employees are the only organizational resource that, with training, can appreciate in value. All other resources depreciate. Invest for the future, not for current needs.

4. “Actions speak louder than words”

Employees will mirror your behavior more quickly than they will follow your words. If you don’t follow the guidelines that you set for others, they are more likely to resent you and circumvent the rules.

5. “Good enough is good enough”

Being perfect all the time is impossible and it’s not worth the investment. Focus on doing a good job and learn from the experience, which will improve your performance the next time.

6. “Reward outcomes, not activities”

Don’t reward people for trying hard if they were working on the wrong things. Make sure reward systems are based on impact (how much change occurred) rather than output (how much was produced).

7. “Mindset matters”

Be optimistic. If you think a project is doomed, it’s not likely to be successful. Smile. Your mood is contagious. Do people feel more or less energized after they talk to you?

These tips are no substitute for management experience but they are good reminders of how we should interact with our direct reports

Tips to handle Bitter employees :

Do you have employees who are cynical and constantly complaining about their job and company to their co-workers? Perhaps they have been employed at the company for many years and are good workers. Here is a method that some of my clients have used to turn the situation around.

One employee's negative attitude is highly contagious and can seriously damage the morale of an entire work team. What's worse, managers who coddle these individuals send a powerful message to the rest of the team, "It's OK to be cynical and even disrespectful as long as you do your job." These are the same managers who lose the respect of the employees who are doing a great job AND have a positive attitude toward the company.

Every employee within an organization must be held accountable for his or her behavior. It is unprofessional for any member of the staff to exhibit behavior that is verbally disruptive or destructive to other members of the team. Anger and hostility are forms of manipulation. These are unacceptable workplace behaviors and should not be tolerated in any employee at any level.

Here's what you can do if your constructive feedback and warnings have failed. Be sure you discuss this plan with your Human Resources director, and you have his or her support before you:
  • Tell the offending employees that you are giving them a "gift" of a paid Friday off. However, they must use this day to carefully think about whether or not they would like to continue working at this company. Tell them that their cynicism is unprofessional and will no longer be tolerated, but because you respect their work, you will give them an opportunity to turn their attitudes around.
  • Give them two options:
    • If they choose to continue their employment, they need to come to work on Monday morning with a typed contract outlining the specific steps they will take to turn their attitude around to become positive team players.
    • If they choose not to take ownership of their attitude, then they can either turn in a letter of resignation or be terminated.
Remember, employee respect is earned. To be an effective manager, you need to treat each member of your staff with equal fairness. This cannot be accomplished when we wear blinders to avoid dealing with the bad apples!

Tips to Increase Concentration:

The issue of lack of concentration is not limited to young children only. Many adults complain about it and look for advice on how to increase concentration. During coaching sessions, I have come across many such requests and here are some tips that I found to be most effective.

1. MAKE A TIME PLAN - Set up a schedule for the jobs to be done. The key is to balance, to allocate time appropriately to serious, difficult tasks like study, as well as to recreation... and stick to it. Avoid keeping very similar tasks together, so that your schedule has in-built variety to avoid boredom.

2. IDENTIFY YOUR PEAK TIMES - We all have our times of peak alertness in 24-hours cycle. However, it is not the same for all. Find out yours and use it for more difficult or less interesting tasks.

3. GO SLOW; BUILD UP OVER TIME - Start with sticking to your study / project for 10 to 15 minutes to start with. Build up slowly. While it is important to discipline yourself, more important is to put the time to effective use. So start small, but stick to it even if you are not able to concentrate easily.

4. TAKE BREAKS IN BETWEEN - On an average, the attention span for a serious task is no more than 20 minutes or so. Therefore, while studying for longer stretches, it is advisable to take a break for may be five minutes after 20-25 minutes and get back to the job.

5. MIND THE SURROUNDINGS - The location, direction, lighting - all make a difference to your attention span. You should be reasonably comfortable in a quiet place with proper lighting etc.

6. DO AWAY WITH DISTRACTIONS - While TV and radio are more obvious distractions and can easily be avoided, there are others like telephone calls, or friends and relatives dropping in to chat for a while. There are no general rules for them and you will have to devise your personal rules to take care of such issues.

7. MANAGE REQUIREMENTS - Make sure that you have pre-arranged all your requirements before you get set. This may include your study material, notes, pen, pencil, calculator, highlighter or whatever you might need during your study / task.

8. JOIN THE YOUNGER ONES - If you have young children, sit for your study along with them. It will motivate you to discipline yourself and concentrate.

9. PUT YOUR HEART WITH MIND - Applying your mind to the work is a prerequisite in any case; however adding curiosity and positive attitude makes the real difference. When you become inquisitive and start enjoying the study, assimilation and understanding is much faster, much better.

10. USE PENCIL EXTENSIVELY - Do underline frequently and use white space in the margins to make your own short notes. While writing adds to your pick-up, it helps tremendously during future references.

11. EXERCISE YOUR MENTAL FACULTIES - Games such as crossword puzzles, sudoku and word jumbles are good relaxation tools as well as help you improve memory and concentration. Keep some time for them.

12. MEDITATE - Meditation is a wonderful tool to keep your mind calm and relaxed, thus improving your concentration and memory. There are hundreds of meditation techniques. It is advisable to learn and practice one or two from an expert instead of experimenting with many and get confused.

13. LIVE A BALANCED LIFE - Nutritious eating habits and regular sleeping hours help you to lead a healthy life with better memory and concentration.
And, here is a destructive one!

14. TEAR IT APART - You have a nicely bound new book; but the size is so dreadful that you hardly touch it; so it remains new for years together. Total wastage! Remove its binding, convert it into small manageable pieces, may be 5, 10 or 15 pages. Pick up one at a time and handle it with a smile. At the end of it, even though short of a showpiece in your book shelf; you will be happy about this loss, I am sure!
