Studies have shown that when emotions such as anger, fear, sadness, and happiness are bottled up, they can have long-term and short-term effects on different parts of the body. We must learn to release emotions so that we can live a happy life with a healthy mind and body.

Some psychologists have said that it is inevitable that we will feel intense and unpleasant emotions from time to time. Our loved ones may pass away, our friends and families will disappoint us, and the challenges of life will make us angry and frustrated. When those painful emotions arise, it’s important that we know how to deal with them in order to maintain our mental health and stay emotionally balanced.

Anger causes headaches, dizziness, red eyes, red face, indigestion, and diarrhea,

Do you sometimes ask yourself if you're actually a good person in reality? Recent research carried out by psychologists suggests that it’s the environment we find ourselves that sometimes gets in the way of our true self. For example, “Someone who was abused may develop a protective part that preemptively hurts others to protect the self.” In her practice, she doesn’t focus on terms like “good” or “bad”, instead shifting the focus to “encourage the [compassionate and curious] ‘self’ to feel safe enough to come out.”
A counsellor pin-points to the fact that our “social media-centered culture” encourages us to act in ‘good’ ways in order to receive positive reinforcement from others rather than acting altruistically for a true intrinsic reward.” Which is why the only person who can decide whether you are a good person is yourself.
These few questions will help determine who you actually are, either a good person or not according to Meredith Strauss, a New Jersey-based psychotherapist:

The oldest and wisest couples have revealed that understanding and communication is even more important than love itself, when it comes to intimate relationships. They say that in their years of experience, there are a lot of divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood themselves. Love is very important, however, they say love is not just enough. It is essential to take time out to better understand people you love. It’s not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. In their words, Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.

Spiritual principles opens and soften our heart, connecting us more deeply and intimately with others, the world around us, and with our own real selves. Most people don't have much in the way of material things, but by practising being conscious and applying specific principles, we can become more spiritual which will bring healing to our spirit, soul and body and can possibly give us those things we desire, through these steps:

Gratitude
Gratitude simply means the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. It is about feeling and expressing appreciation for what we have (however little it may be). It is possible to still show gratitude in spite of feelings such as anxiety, sadness, anger, depression, fear, or physical pain. Sometimes you may have to look a little harder to see the blessings in your life, but there is always something to be grateful for, no matter how negative or desperate the situation seems.

Self-acceptance
Accept yourself exactly as you are. Everybody changes. When you criticize yourself, your changes are negative. When you approve of yourself, your changes are positive. Forgiving yourself for your own past misdeeds is part of self-acceptance. Self-acceptance is being okay with oneself without reservation. It is the sense that, as a human being, you are “good enough” exactly as you are, with all of your challenges and imperfections. It is the understanding and knowledge that nobody, including you, has to be perfect in order to belong in this world.

If so, then why do unmarried ladies at their late twenties constitute the bulk of the population in prayer houses and singles $ married conferences??

That's probably becos they think marriage is the biggest achievement they can get in life, single and successful people can relate to the fact that they experience continuous growth and development as time passes. This doesn't insinuate in any way that marriage is not important.

Psychologists has shown that reverse should be the case where single people were known to be stereotype as being unhappy, lonely, unfilled and emotionally troubled. Single people who are often ridiculed in the society can now have a break from the constant barrage of comments and pressure to get married quickly.

A new research by psychologist Depaulo Bella reveals that most single people are actually more fulfilled than their married counterparts. DePaulo cites research that proves that single people value meaningful work more than their married counterparts and are more determined, therefore more likely to have ‘a sense of continued growth and development as a person’.
Basically, because they don’t spend their days asking their partner what they want to eat/arguing about the dishwasher/having sex, and have loads of time to do other stuff.

Self-control is the ability to subdue our impulses in order to achieve longer-term goals. Rather than responding to immediate impulses, we can plan, evaluate alternative actions, and, often enough, avoid doing things we'll later regret. The ability to exert self-control is typically called willpower. It is what allows us to direct our attention, and it underlies all kinds of achievement.
According to recent studies published in the last six months, a more subtle picture is emerging of the advantages and disadvantages of having, or lacking, self-control. These provide new answers to what self-control can do for you and what it can’t.

1. Self-control makes you happier
One stereotype of people with high self-control is that they are enormously happy. After all, how much fun can you have if you’re so in control all the time?
According to a new study, the research showed that people with high self-control are happier because it helps them deal better with goal conflict.
Instead of agonising over whether to indulge in fattening foods, extra-marital affairs or cheap reality TV, people with high self-control find it easier to make the right choice. This is part of the reason they are happier. That and the fact they got better grades at school, earn more money, have better physical and mental health and so on.

When you're happy, you obviously tend to be more productive and generally on an easier track to success. A down mood can distract you from accomplishment and sour the relationships around you. Can you really increase your “Happiness Quotient” in less than one minute? Absolutely! Few tips and tricks are all you need to make your happiness grow. The following happiness enhancers will increase your immediate sense of feel good, all in the blink of an eye:

1. Relax and take a deep breath.
Just one deep breath can turn down your “fight-or-flight” system and activate the “rest-and-restore” system of the body. Got 15 seconds more? Take another deep breath. You’ll feel even more content.
2. Say a quick affirmation.
There is no need to look down on yourself, even if you made a big mistake. Boost your mood by reminding yourself how smart and talented you are. Repeat this: I am a good person with intelligence and skills. I can do anything I set my mind to. I can and will learn from my errors and immediately become stronger, happier, and more effective.

3. Appreciate yourself.
Think of one thing you’ve already accomplished or handled well that day or a good quality that you’ve demonstrated—a start to a project, a phone call, or even an honest talk with a colleague that ended well. Drawing your attention to your own strengths will lift your spirits.

How we spend our time and the way we conduct our daily life is very essential. Understanding your habits and rituals not only helps you understand who you are, it also enables us recommend small changes that can help us feel a bit better. A very busy life naturally leads us to disconnect from what matters. Often, a minor tweak in our day-to-day routine can help make us feel stronger—even within our stress.
Here are five ways to help make the most of your daily life:
1. Use your strengths. You excel when you get to do what you do best. Research shows that employees who get to use their strengths outperform those who don’t; these employees also feel more fulfilled.
2. Learn something new. Look for an opportunity to expand your knowledge every single day. Listen to a podcast, read an interesting article, or learn something from a friend. Remember, everyone you meet knows something you don’t.

As we grow and learn in life, it’s important to look at the choices we make to avoid having relationship regrets and see what lessons can be learnt from your past experiences. Becoming more aware of red flags that may signal problems can also help young people to pick partners who are capable of sustaining a loving, romantic relationship. If you believe you are worthy of love and happiness, you won’t settle for less than you deserve in relationships.

Here are four rules from the oldest and wisest couples on avoiding regrets in relationships:
1. Pay Close Attention to Your Intuition
While choosing a life partner, elders believe that there is usually a powerful feeling or sense of rightness, an intuitive, overwhelming conviction that you have made the right choice. Call it what you will—a spark, an intuition, a gut feeling—they agree that you shouldn’t commit to a relationship without it. But in even stronger terms they warn you about the flip-side of the in-love feeling: Never get married without it—or you can be in for major regrets.
2. Examine your expectations about intimate relationships and Conduct Due Diligence.
The elders believe you need to conduct due diligence which involves a systematic process for evaluating your prospective partner. Take a good look at whether your partner has objective characteristics that make him or her a good life-partner.
Now that you’re serious, the questions should move to the forefront of consideration: “Is he or she good marriage material? Is he or she likely to be a responsible and committed partner?” If your love won’t stand this kind of close scrutiny, they question how deep that love was in the first place.

Many often wonder if they are truly in the right relationship, especially those in the early stages of a relationship. The question you should ask yourself while pondering on this is: How satisfied do you feel in your current relationship?

Hypocrisy is the plot of a false appearance of virtue or goodness, while concealing real character or inclinations. It is usually the practice of engaging in the same behavior or activity for which one criticizes another. The hypocrites are so full of bla bla blah’s that they don’t even believe what they are saying. Forget action on their part. They have a hard enough time keeping their own stories straight.
Moral duplicity is what you may think of when you define hypocrisy. It's when people falsely claim their motives are above reproach, but in fact they are not. For example, your partner insists on honesty between the two of you when it comes to finances, but then you hear from a third party about an expensive night on the town in which your partner picked up the entire tab. Or your friend, who claims she’s too busy to help out with a function, seems to have no trouble finding time for a trip to the mall—and to post photos of her outing on Facebook or Instagram
A recent research boils down to these four ways to spot the hypocrites in your life:
1. Hypocrites are likely to gain motivation from a desire to look good, more than an internal desire to satisfy personal goals or commitment.

The decision to marry is about the most vital decision you can ever make in your life. If the decision is right, it will positively affect all other areas of your life. But if wrong, it can destroy your life, destiny and can even affect your generations unborn. It’s very important that as you consider your journey into marriage, you understand that there are milestones on the way you need to get through slowly and methodically so that you would reach your destination in good time and good shape.

To start with, before deciding on marriage, you must have attained a level of maturity, and proper moral upbringing. Secondly you must have the wisdom to handle any situation that comes your way.

The pitfalls many people overlook before getting married include:

Eligibility of the individual you’re getting married to. Many people erroneously judge the eligibility of an individual for marriage by looks, charisma, position or possessions. This is a rather terrible mistake to make. It is often said that you do not judge a book by its cover; neither do you assess the soundness of a car by the color with which it’s painted but by the engine. Therefore, your decision about whom to journey with into marriage should not be based on anything physical, material or superficial. This is why you can’t do it all alone but with the help of God.

Desperation to get married. Avoid being so impatient and desperate that you make wrong decisions and settle for someone never destined for you. This could be filled with so much pain and agony. Wrong marriage occupies all your attention through life and affects everything else you do. You won’t find true happiness in any other thing, the agony clings to you and continually tugs at your heart even in the most pleasurable moments of life.

The best way to protect yourself and your home from fire is to identify and remove fire hazards. Majority of house fire death occurs in homes without fire extinguishers. A fire escape plan should be practiced as frequently as possible, as this can save lives. If a fire ever occurs in your home, GET OUT, STAY OUT and CALL for help. These additional precautions will also help minimize the risk of a fire in your home:

*Set aside a special closet for dangerous tools and combustible materials that you don't want your children to touch. Use a good lock on the door and a heat detector inside to alert you of any fire danger. Also, keep matches and candles away from your kids as any open flame can pose great danger.

*Have fire extinguishers in your home- You should have at least one portable fire extinguisher in your house that is within easy access. Note that these fire extinguishers don’t last forever and may be good for only 5 to 15 years, so monitor the pressure gauge and recharge, service or replace your extinguisher if need be.

*Avoid overloading your electrical system. Don't run extension cords under rugs or carpets. The cords wear easily and may short out, causing a fire.

*When cooking or frying with oil take extra care, if the oil starts to smoke never put water or food in it, instead take it off the heat and leave it to cool

*Unplug all electrical appliance when not in use. An outlet or switch that is unusually warm or hot to the touch may indicate a potentially dangerous wiring condition. In such situations call an electrician to check the wiring.

*Don’t smoke indoors as this may help prevent unfortunate incidents

*Don’t leave fire unattended- You’ve a fireplace, a stove, gas cooker or a grill? Always keep an eye on them when they’re fired up and extinguish the fire before leaving the house and before going to bed.

*Stop, drop and roll- If you ever catch fire, extinguish it by staying put, dropping to the ground and rolling around. Running around like how people do in movies may only help to catch people’s attention, but it won’t make the flames go away.

*Keep cooking appliances such as toasters away from curtains or other flammable materials.

*Beware of complicated barriers on your doors and windows- Have an installed burglar bars on your windows and doors, make sure they have a fast security release or can become unlocked or detached during a time of emergency. Or if you live in a multi-story residence, a fire escape ladder is one of the most useful items to have in your home.

It seems some people just enjoy insulting and teasing others, because they feel within themselves a sense of insecurity or want to look cool in front of others. Most times, they are looking for a reaction, and they expect it, so don't show them that they are hurting you by letting it get at you. If the insult seems real, and not some misguided attempt at a joke, the situation can be hurtful and confusing. Try some of these helpful strategies and you can walk away with your head up high.

Take a few moment to think about what the other person wants. People don't start fights for no reason. Think about what they're hoping to get from you. Are they trying to intimidate you? Are they trying to make you look stupid / incompetent in front of others? Are they trying to start an argument? Think before you react since you don't want to give them the satisfaction of making you upset

Use the location of the incident to your advantage in planning your response. A person who insults you in public is most likely trying to lower your social status and raise their own. A person that targets you when you're on your own is hoping to find you vulnerable. Humor is usually an effective response for three reasons: it undermines the insult, it brings the audience (if any) on side, and it diffuses the tension of the situation. Sometimes, it might even be appropriate to exaggerate or add to the insult so as to make a mockery of the insulter and, by extension, of the insult. For example "Ah, if only you had known me better, you would have found greater fault still!"
You could also take a serious approach, if you'd like, rather than a joke. Lacking much emotion, use the common "What's wrong with you?" speech.
Key things to say include:
"Why can't you just mind your own business?"

"What anyone else does doesn't involve you. Just let people live their lives."

"Why are you so spiteful/judgmental? Why can't you just be nice to people?"

"You're sad/pitiful."
This often makes people feel bad for teasing because it allows them to see how much of a bully they really are.

Change the subject. For example, if the person insults your dress sense, you could respond with a nonchalant, "Yes, that's true and maybe you can tell me where you shop for your clothes?" This will derail the other person's train of thought.
If your friends are the ones that usually tease you, step back and evaluate your relationship with them. Do they really mean to make you laugh, or make you feel bad? Perhaps if they tease you so much, you should stop being friends with them. Let them know that their remarks are not appreciated.
If it's just someone teasing you, then don't react much as you don't know that person much.
Try not to show your feelings if you are insulted or teased. The more you act hurt, the more the insults will continue.
Always remember that there is only one ‘you’ and no one has the right to make you feel bad about yourself.

Almost everyone has an annoying habits, which curiously we don’t find annoying in ourselves. In reality, what makes many relationships miserable, and ultimately end, are not the big things but the little inconsiderate, annoying behaviors which build up over time and kill the exciting activities. The trouble usually begins when you enter a vicious cycle of resentment when you're fed up with your partner's irritating habits, or you're tired of getting picked on for your own.
In order to have a satisfying long-term relationship, it is important to pay attention to one's own daily habits and help ‘lovingly’ guide a partner's behaviors too.

Some typical categories of annoying habits include:

Uncouth Habits: Showing and displaying poor grooming, failing to clean up after oneself, nose picking, passing gas, burping, scratching the back with a fork, rearranging private parts in public etc. People could do this at times, but how about in the bathroom or other private place?

Obtrusive Behaviors: Being criticizing, acting jealous, giving commands without authority, or being controlling, such as monopolizing the remote control, ruling what happens in the kitchen, always picking what movies you two watch etc.

Inconsiderate Acts: Expecting disproportionate attention, being chronically late, or being self-preoccupied in conversation; When you are trying to communicate and your partner is tuned out, staring at the TV, computer or phone.
Norm Violations: Drinking to excess, avoiding work, or flirting with other people.

Nagging: Nagging, disdain and contempt can all end relationships. That annoying habit may appear to be the source, but it’s not the habit that is the problem; it’s how you deal with it. Constant nagging about annoying habits can actually destroy a marriage so pick your battles, you can’t win them all. Think about what really matters and why. Do not nag; instead, devise a system to address the specifics.

There are ways of communicating and intervening before things get hypersensitive and miserable. Try these 5 things:

Research has shown that lack of sufficient sleep leads to weight gain and even obesity. A study revealed that sleep-deprived people appeared to burn the same number of calories as people who were well-rested, but they consumed about 300 more calories each day, which can add up to 30 extra pounds a year. Lack of sleep slows your metabolism and raises your level of cortisol, the stress hormone that increases food cravings for both high-fat and high-carb items such as packaged snack foods. You end up craving fatty and starchy edibles because they release serotonin, the feel-good hormone, which you seek out to help your system calm down. More cortisol is tied to insulin resistance, a risk factor for both diabetes and obesity. Increasing your sleep by just 1 hour a night – from 7 to 8 hours – can actually help you lose up to 14 pounds a year.

Weight loss usually gets harder as you get older especially after you turn 40. But it's not impossible! With the right kind of weight loss work-out, you could burn up to 200 extra calories a day, many of them while doing nothing more challenging than watching your favorite movie, eating dinner, and sleeping.
Metabolism is all the work your body does that requires calories (energy): staying alive, thinking, breathing, and moving your muscles. Obviously, it plays a major role in how much you weigh, especially with each passing day.
Here are five steps to efficiently lose weight while you snooze:

Set strict kitchen hours. Night time fasting may help you lose more weight, even if you eat more food throughout the day, according to a study in the journal of Cell Metabolism. Also avoiding food completely before sleeping can also have the opposite effect, as people who wake up feeling hungry are far more likely to binge on food at breakfast. A small snack of cottage cheese before bed is a great choice as it is rich in casein protein. Cottage cheese also contains the amino acid tryptophan. A study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research found that tryptophan improves quality of sleep, and reduces the amount of time it takes to fall asleep. This means cottage cheese will keep hunger at bay throughout the night, and ensure you sleep for a decent amount of time.

Allow the breeze. A study published in the journal Diabetes suggests that simply turning on the air conditioner or turning down the heat in winter may help us attack belly fat while we sleep. Colder temperatures subtly enhance the effectiveness of our stores of brown fat—fat keeps you warm by helping you burn through the fat stored in your belly. Participants spent a few weeks sleeping in bedrooms with varying temperatures: a neutral 75 degrees, a cool 66 degrees, and a balmy 81 degrees. After four weeks of sleeping at 66 degrees, the subjects had almost doubled their volumes of brown fat. (And yes, that means they lost belly fat.)

Try your sleep switch. Tryptophan, an amino acid found in most meats, has demonstrated powerful sleep-inducing effects. A recent study among insomniacs found that just 1/4 gram—about what you’ll find in a skinless chicken drumstick or three ounces of lean turkey meat—was enough to significantly increase hours of deep sleep. And that can can translate into easy weight loss. Researchers from the University of Colorado found that dieters consumed 6 percent fewer calories when they got enough sleep. For someone on a 2,000-calorie diet, that’s 120 calories per day, which could amount to nearly a one-pound weight loss in a month.

A lot of people are skeptical about the sweetness in sweet potato. Don’t let this scare you, the sweet potatoes are actually very nutritious and really delicious. They are high in vitamins A, B5, B6, thiamin, niacin, potassium, iron, fiber, riboflavin and carotenoids. They are fat-free, relatively low in sodium and have fewer calories than white potatoes.
They also have a lower glycemic index than white potatoes. This means that they are less likely to produce insulin resistance and its accompanying health problems, including weight gain. They provide all-round health benefits and are a great addition to your meals.

Treatments for diabetes
A research on 61 people with type 2 diabetes showed that those who took the extract from sweet potato ‘caiapo’, daily for three months had their blood sugar drop with no significant adverse effects. Caiapo has been used without medical prescription for years in Japan as a food additive for prevention and treatment of diabetes.

Maintains healthy blood sugar levels
Sweet potatoes are actually sweet, but they have a low glycemic index meaning the sugar is released slowly into the bloodstream. Most consumed starchy foods raise blood sugar rapidly, but with sweet potato you will not get a blood sugar spike, rather you will have a steady amount of energy. Research has found the Beauregard sweet potato to be a low- glycemic index food.

Hopefully, a diet of sweet potato will become more widely accepted as a tool in the treatment and prevention of diabetes and in maintaining a healthy blood sugar level.

Inculcating a good financial habit in a child is much more valuable than leaving a great amount of wealth for the child. A good attitude towards money and spending will help a child properly utilize the resources available to him. While an undisciplined attitude towards money will result in wasteful living. As a parent, the responsibility of teaching your children how to handle money, save for the rainy day, refrain from impulse buying, control and not be controlled by money, depends on the seeds you plant in them at an early stage. You must therefore find simple ways to pass across the knowledge of managing finances to your kids.
Here are some tips on how to train children on money matters:

* Never buy things just because your children are bored or upset. Teach them to wait for at least 24 hours before buying something they just saw and think they want. You will be surprised how often they forget about those things

* Instill in your children that happiness does not depend on what they want but on being contented with what they have.

* Inculcate a saving habit in them. Money at hand must not always be exhausted. There should always be a reserve. To this end, monetary gifts given or rewards from vacation must not be exhausted on snacks, drinks, recharge cards, toys etc. This will make them frugal in money matters.

* Teach your children early the habit of giving. Create a healthy habit in this regard. They must be taught that while it is good to give, they shouldn’t give out what is of necessity to them. Make it clear to them that they can only share part, not all of their pocket money, so as not to impoverish themselves while enriching others.

* Teach your children early on how to invest and make profit from what they have at hand. With their ages in mind, teach them avenues of making legitimate money. They can engage in crafts.

* Encourage working teenagers to contribute to home expenses. They will grow up to be responsible adults, as this will teach them how to share with their spouses later in life.
