AN INNOVATIVE IDEA ON HOW TO TEMPER YOUR TEMPER IN THIS UP AND COMING YEAR

(A new thought is added Monday and Thursday of each week) ( January 5th’s will be How To Handle It When Grown Children Come Back Home To Live)

When we fly into a temper we quite often make a poor landing.

We all have tempers…some more some less…so here is an innovative and somewhat radical way to handle the problem.

Buy a small tape recorder, have it easily accessible and the next time you take off on a tantrum, press the record button. Then, later on, when you have calmed down listen to the playback. We all have convenient memories as to whose fault an argument was or a complaint that got out of hand…this way, there it is, in living audio with no editing.

In short, we can’t change until we are willing to admit a change is needed…and oh yes, don’t expect perfection even if you have gone beyond setting a goal and gone on a mission…you, me…we all fail…the purpose of this experiment is to improve…
