When tears of frustration flow I always find this poem comforting.

Take a moment to listen today
To what your children are trying to say
Listen today, whatever you do
Or they won't be there to listen to you.

Listen to their problems, listen to their needs
Praise their smallest triumphs, praise their smallest deeds
Tolerate their chatter, amplify their laughter
Find out whats the matter, find out what they're after.

Tell them that you love them, every single night
And though you scold them, be sure to hold them
Tell them "everythings alright
Tomorrows looking bright."

Take a moment to listen today
To what your children are trying to say
Listen today, whatever you do
And they will come back to listen to you.

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their ouls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the
infinite, and He bends you with his might that
his arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the Archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He
loves also the bow that is stable.

Can you find a humble man,
Glad to be on God's green earth?
One who holds no greedy plan,
Knowing wealth has no true worth.

Perhaps, if you search around
You may find the one I seek;
Standing firm on shaky ground
Proud, yet modest, kind, yet meek.

If your search discovers him
Would you for a moment pause,
To lift his precious diadem
And return to me, because

I cannot find the one I seek,
Someone with a gentle plan;
Proud, yet modest, kind, yet meek;
Can you find a humble man?

You have to put in the time, the energy, and the effort to see great results in your marriage, in your children, in your body, and at your place of work.

If you want a great marriage, you may have to:
Have a weekly date night. Do something with your spouse that you don’t like. For men, it may be seeing a chick flick, washing dishes or doing the laundry, or spending time on her favorite hobby. For women, it may be going to the newest action movie, our spending time with him on his favorite hobby, or spending time with him watching his favorite sport. Compliment each other. Do small acts of kindness.

If you want great children, you will have to:
Attend their school activities. Go to their play, baseball game, or band concert. Have a date night. Your children are longing for time with their mommy or daddy. Pick a night and take out just one child at a time. Focus on them and give them your undivided attention. Learn about their interests. When they know you care about what they care about, it means the world to them. Get to know their friends.

If you want a healthy body, you will have to:
Learn to control your eating. Exercise regularly. Adjust your sleep schedule. Love yourself!

If you want a job that you can wake up to every morning, you will have to:
Work on solving the problems instead of quitting. If you focus on what you can't control, you'll allow misery to set in, affect the morale of coworkers, and eventually, you will lose your job. If you focus on the positive factors, instead, you'll succeed. And who knows, maybe you will see things differently and come to love the job you have.

When you start applying these and other action steps into your life, the grass on your side of the fence will start to change. You’ll see weeds start to whither and die. New, beautiful flowers sprouting, and the grass becoming greener. Yes, it will take time and energy. But it’s time and the energy that is well worth it. Your grass (life) will become much more appealing. Your neighbor’s and friends grass will no longer be as alluring. Take the steps today to water, fertilize, and care for your own grass. The dividends you’ll reap will be HUGE and it will be more than worth your time, energy and effort.

The Concept of Stress: What is stress?

Stress has various definitions from different schools of thought. Stress has different meanings to psychologists, medics, management consultants or others
Some popular definitions of stress include:
An adaptive response, mediated by individual personality & psychological differences in response to environmental conditions (stressors) that place excessive demands on the individual

Stress is an adaptive response to an external situation that results in physical, psychological and/or behavioural deviations
A non specific response of the body to any demand made upon it

Stress is a condition or feeling experienced when a person perceives that demands exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to mobilize.

Five rules to remember in life
1. Forgive your enemy but remember the bastard’s name
2. Money cannot buy happiness but it’s more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle.
3. Help someone when they are in trouble and they will remember you when they’re in trouble again.
4. Many people are alive only because it’s illegal to shoot them.
5. Alcohol does not solve any problems but then again,neither does milk.
These should assist you with most daily decision choice

Motivating ourselves
Harnessing our emotions to help as identify our goals and reach them- rather than letting emotions hamper our activities – helps as to achieve. When we are distressed by difficult feelings, we can’t “think straight” ; when we are indifferent, our motivation is low. When we are enthusiastic and confident, we are motivated and resilient, achieving more without getting stressed.

POSITIVE DISCIPLINE
There is no doubt that children need to learn what behaviour is OK and what is not.Positive discipline focuses on praise,rewards,giving choices,negotiating and responsibility.

There are also fair penalties for poor behaviour.It makes life more enjoyable for children,and helps to build self esteem in the family.

Negative discipline uses purnishment and fear,it is stressful to everyone.

This doesnt mean that you leave the child - ignore them.Let us engage the children and all those that we stay with in our houses into what they either like or dislike.because we truely need each other and there is no reason for hating another for more that an hour.Is it really too hard to forgive,why should we live to criticise others while when it is turned to us we feel hated.Let us promote praise and hate criticism.
