Today's Stress Tip..by G. Gaynor McTigue..TUE.2/22/06

Channel your anger into productive energy.

Anger is like steam. Held in, it can build to the point of bursting, leaving damage in its wake. But also like steam, which can propel an engine, you can release your anger in positive ways. Make a conscious effort not to dwell or feed on it. Instead, get busy. Channel your anger into rational and composed ways to deal with the problem that caused it. You'll be more likely to dispel it peacefully, rather than pop off in a manner you might regret. Why make yourself crazy?

Where have all the heroes gone?

On a recent radio talk show, hosts and callers were at a loss to name anyone today who could truly be called a hero -- that is, a selfless individual who has contributed to society in a courageous and significant way, and could be looked up to and emulated. Everyone mentioned had a major disqualifying flaw or was mired in self-interest. So where have all the heroes gone? They haven't gone anywhere. Society simply chooses to ignore the achievements of decent, honest people...and instead worships at the altars of steroid-juiced athletes, greed-driven business leaders and venal politicians. The real hero may be the guy sitting next to you. The person you're married to. Maybe even you! So don't fall into the trap of following the lead of corrupt, self-absorbed icons. Just look around you. There are heroes all over the place. Why make yourself crazy?
