Where Anger Originates

By Norma Holt     

Deep within our psyche we have triggers that shut down logic and common sense and take over our brains with rage. We have all felt it and sometimes it starts with fear or jealousy. If it is allowed to intensify, it becomes anger that may lead to the death of others, suicide or both. With many cases of this scenario in recent times it is important to understand how and why this happens.

The bottom line in many of these cases is revenge. The emotion triggering that is a sense of loss and feelings of hate towards and punishment for a perpetrator.

In the last month or so in Australia we have seen a grandfather shoot dead his entire family before killing himself. Seven people in all that included his wife, daughter, and four grandchildren. While that has shocked the nation it is now followed by a father who killed his two teenage children before turning the gun on himself.

Both these cases followed custody battles in court in which the two men lost out. Their anger, however, followed months of planning. In the case of the father he joined a shooting club to gain a license to buy guns. That took place weeks or even months beforehand.

In the case of the grandfather there were other signs as he became more violent as the end approached. The court outcome may have had little to do with his final act but there is evidence of jealousy or fear planning out.

The recent shooting of victims in the Capital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis, USA, is another case in point. It involved the death of five people but the shooter survived and is in custody. He had a grudge against the business after failing in court to get compensation.

There are many killings that are not related to court outcomes, such as when a partner is murdered by their ex or current lover. The reasons are not always clear but many are motivated by jealousy and or fear, especially if there is a break-down in the relationship.

The question is how does one avoid reaching the point of either committing murder or being a victim of a killer? Every case is different and every outcome is equally unpredictable. Women, however, are more vulnerable because they are the weaker of the two. The answer must, therefore, lie in the signs exhibited.

It is likely that one who is planning such an outcome has mood swings and other things that point to a change in his or her thinking. While it is not possible to give positive answers the best approach is to encourage one to think things through and not act because of the force within that blocks out common sense and logic.

Depression Quiz

By Dr. R.E. Freedman    

When an individual experiences difficulties in their life, they may experience what we call "situational depression." This is a sadness or hopelessness due to a stress related event such as:

An illness

Problems at work or school

Death of a loved one or beloved pet

Moving to a new location

Relationship problems or breakup

Anxiety situation

Situational depression is often short term when approached correctly. Natural treatment is often very helpful in the elimination of this type of depression.

Quiz for Depression

Are you experiencing a sadness causing you to feel down or cry on a daily basis?

Do you feel a hopelessness that is difficult to shake?

Is insomnia a new symptom that is interfering with your sleep patterns?

Are you constantly worrying, and experiencing anxiety or stress?

Has negative "what if" thinking become your habit?

Do you find your appetite has declined?

Is it difficult for you to concentrate and you suffer from a lack of focus?

Do small stresses overwhelm you?

Are you experiencing a lack of interest or difficulty with daily activities?

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed?

Are you avoiding social situations?

Do you find yourself spending more time alone?

Are you experiencing hormonal changes?

Are you avoiding physical activities because you feel fatigued or unmotivated?

Do you have a background of childhood stress?

Do you have a history of depression in your family?

If you answered "yes" to many of the above questions, you might be experiencing a short term feeling of depression, which is not difficult to overcome if approached correctly.

Through the proper natural approach, you will learn how to:

Boost Serotonin in the brain, through learning to retrain the brain.

Follow a Serotonin boosting food plan

Use a specific exercise and activity plan to not only add to the production of Serotonin but to alleviate the majority of depression symptoms.

You'll learn how to rest and relax in a way that refreshes both mind and body so your body will be tired at night and sleep will come naturally and restfully, as it was in childhood.

You'll learn the value of outdoor activity and how it helps heal and upset mind and rejuvenate a mind and body exhausted from worry.

You'll learn how to focus on stepping out of your own way, allowing the mind to refresh. Depression dissolves when you stop fueling it with fear and negativity. Happiness naturally replaces feelings of negativity and depression.

Combatting Anxiety With 4-7-8 Breathing Pattern

By Susan Navarez 

Individuals suffering from anxiety are on a continuous lookout for techniques that can help them combat the mental disorder and relax their minds. One such technique doing the rounds these days is the 4-7-8 breathing pattern.

Also known as the "relaxing breath", the 4-7-8 breathing technique involves breathing in for 4 seconds, holding the breath for 7 seconds, and exhaling for 8 seconds. According to some proponents, this breathing technique helps in reducing anxiety and even helps people fall sleep within a minute. Even though there is little scientific evidence to support this breathing technique, a lot of people are turning to it for instant relief from anxiety symptoms and a more relaxed sleep.

Understanding the 4-7-8 breathing technique

The 4-7-8 breathing technique is followed as a core exercise by several alternative healing therapies such as yoga and meditation, as it helps promote relaxation. This breathing technique needs an individual to focus on taking a long deep breath at the time of inhalation. Supporters of this technique feel that it can help achieve the following:

• Better sleep
• Management of various types of yearnings and cravings
• Reduced or controlled anger responses
• Improved and gradually reduced anxiety symptoms

How to practice the 4-7-8 breathing technique?

Prior to starting this breathing pattern, it is suggested that an individual gets into a relaxed sitting or lying down position. They should then touch the roof of their mouth, just behind the front teeth with the tip of their tongue. Once settled, the individual should follow the below mentioned steps.

• Exhale the air out of the lungs so as to empty the lungs completely
• Inhale for a count of four seconds
• Hold the breath for a count of seven seconds
• Exhale forcefully via the mouth for a count of eight seconds. While exhaling, the individual should make a "o" of their lips and make a "whoosh" sound.

An individual must follow this breathing technique twice a day to start noticing the benefits at the earliest. However, first-timers must refrain from exceeding four breath cycles at a stretch. Once the practitioner is comfortable with the technique, they can practice it for longer durations.

For the first couple of times, an individual may feel light-headed after practicing this breathing technique. Thus it is advised to try this technique while lying or sitting down to avert falls or dizziness. It is far more important to maintain the ratio instead of focusing on the number of seconds the breathing pattern lasts for. If an individual struggles to hold their breath for a long time, they can opt for a breathing pattern of shorter duration, which would be:

• Inhaling for a count of 2 seconds
• Holding the breath for a period of 3.5 seconds
• Exhaling forcefully for 4 seconds

If an individual is successful in maintaining the appropriate ratio, they will start noticing the benefits within a couple of weeks of following this technique consistently, once or twice a day. They would notice a lower frequency in the occurrence of their anxiety symptoms and a more restful sleep.

Seeking help for anxiety disorder

Anxiety is a part and parcel of life, and feeling anxious in situations that are challenging and stressful is quite normal.

How Much Do You, LIKE, Yourself?

By Richard Brody     

Far too often, instead of proceeding, in the best possible manner, and your own, personal best interest, rather, we proceed, as our personal, worst enemy! When we allow negative thoughts, ideas, and attitude, to control us, and our way of life, instead of proceeding, in a positive, can - do, manner, the tendency is, often, to focus on the reasons, why we can't, rather than, how, we will! A logical, common sense, approach, might be, therefore, to, give yourself, a check - up, from the neck - up, and evaluate, whether, you, truly, LIKE yourself, and why. With that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, how self - image, and liking ourself, may be one of the key components, in enjoying a far healthier and happier life.

1. Look at; listen; learn; love: Will you be able to proceed, with a combination of introspection, and objectivity? Being objectively, introspective, and taking a serious look at, the possibilities, is a big step, towards, positive, self - help! Look at the possibilities, effectively listen to the possibilities, options and alternatives, and learn, how to best proceed! The more you get, to love yourself, the happier and healthier, you will be!

2. Image (self - image); imagination; innovate; insist: Have you ever considered, your personal self - image, and the reasons? Do you have the imagination, to effectively, innovate, in your best - interests? Will you insist, on becoming the best, you can possibly be?

3. Knowledge; keep; keys: The more you know, yourself, and realize, what you like and dislike, what your strengths and weaknesses, are, etc, the better you'll be able to help yourself! Use that knowledge, to know, what you should maintain, and keep, and what, to, let - go! Understand the keys to being as happy, and healthy, as possible!

4. Examine; energy; emphasis; excellence; endurance: Take a thorough, look, and consider, the best way, to improve, and enhance your potential! Maximize your personal energy, emphasize positive principles and approaches, and always, demand the utmost degree of personal excellence! Sometimes, this takes a considerable amount of persistence, and perseverance, so be ready, to maintain your endurance, and fight, for what's best, for you!

Saying you LIKE yourself, is, often, far different from, actually, liking everything, about you! The more self - satisfied, and pleased, with how you are, and how you live, as well as the positive effects on others, the better the chance of a happier, healthier existence!

Open Your Mind, And Have A BETTER Chance, To Be Healthier!

By Richard Brody    

Every year, it seems, more, and more people, are becoming, ready, willing, and able, to open - their - minds, and consider, alternatives and options, especially, those which have been effectively used, in a significant number of cases/ instances! As more studies, and literature, have been explored, many believe, it might make sense, to combine, conventional, with alternative medicine, in a meaningful, wellness - approach! Wouldn't it, perhaps, make sense, to proceed, with an open - mind, consider options and alternatives, and have a BETTER chance, to optimize our health, and live a healthier life? With that in mind, this article will attempt to, consider, examine, review, and explain, using the mnemonic approach, some of the relevant factors, and considerations.

1. Benefits; beliefs: When we open - our - mind, and permit ourself, to expand our willingness, to accept certain beliefs, considering the options and alternatives, there are many key benefits. While conventional medical treatment, is a necessary component of care, there are many instances, where an alternative approach, may be as effective (or, even more), and, perhaps, safer.

2. Effort; emphasis: Isn't it worth, a little extra effort, to learn, and discover, your options and alternatives, or at least, help you, ask your trusted health professional, significant questions? When our emphasis is on using the best ways, in a holistic manner, it often creates a healthier system, and approach!

3. Trends: We constantly witness, new information, ideas, and potential approaches. These trends, may assist, in being healthier, and the more we learn, and understand, the more we help ourselves!

4. Time - tested: Being a trend, doesn't mean, ignoring time - tested, logical, approaches, and techniques! For example, when Dr. Robert Atkins, first explored, and considered, his approach to using a low carbohydrate diet, towards a healthier life, he originally, got much of the underlying ideas, and concepts, from centuries - old, European scientific papers.

5. Enrich: Shouldn't the overall, goal, of our approach to healthier living, be, to enrich our overall health, using every possible, well - considered approach, concept, option and alternative? When we open - our - minds, to the possibilities, we become better equipped, to live a healthier, happier life!

6. Relief; reasonable; rationale/ reasoning: Give yourself, a check - up, from the neck - up, and consider, the basis of your rationale, and reasoning, in terms of, the best way, to proceed! Isn't it, a smart, reasonable approach, to do all you can, to enhance, your ability for personal relief, health, and happiness?

Will you open - you - mind, and have a BETTER chance, at enhancing your personal health, well - being, and overall happiness? Will you consider, and take advantage of viable possibilities?
