Tying Your Goals Together Short-term and long-term goals are equally important. Make sure your short-term goals will lead to your long-term goals by setting your long-term goals first. Then think of all the steps necessary to achieve each goal. Once you have set your goals, make a commitment to reach them. Activity 14: Generating Short-Term Goals

Put It On Paper Norman Vincent Peale, Why Some Positive Thinkers Get Powerful, recommends these strategies: Think about where you want to go in life. Come to a firm decision about your basic goal. Write down your goal in a clear statement. Study and learn all you can about your goal. Set a time for achieving your goal. Make sure your decision about your goal is right. Give your goal all your effort and never stop trying. Be a positive thinker. Once you have achieved one goal, go on to the next. Personal Journal 3.1 Goal Cards

Anger and Responses to Anger Anger A strong feeling of displeasure, resentment and hostility that results from frustration. Examples? Aggression Behavior intended to harm or injure a person or object. Examples? Passive-Aggression Indirect, disguised aggression toward others. Examples? Success Secrets Figure out what makes you angry—and why? Express your emotions calmly and with reason.

Coping With Anger You can’t control every situation that causes you to feel angry. You can control your anger and make a conscious effort to use your energy to come up with solutions to the problem that caused the anger. Anger is a trigger for your body that releases adrenaline and cortisol, which working together weaken your immune system. Every time you get angry it hurts your health.

Healing Anger Constructively Sandy Livingstone, Dealing With Anger. Anger arises when we perceive that something might happen to: frighten us, hurt us, threaten us, make us feel powerless. Personal Journal 3.4 Anger Triggers Take Positive Action It is possible that the problem lies in how you are looking at others. Work out the current situation without bringing up past issues or other conflicts.

Healing Anger continued… Try Assertiveness Stand up for your rights without violating the rights of others. Examples: Deal with minor irritations before they become anger-triggering situations. Ask for help when you need it. Say “no” to unreasonable requests. Speak up if you are not being treated the way you want to be treated. Be open to positive, constructive criticism and suggestions. Use calm body language and maintain good eye contact. Practice active listening: showing a desire to listen, being attentive to the other person’s words and body language. Success Secret Change what you can and accept what you can’t.
