Don't act on your emotion of anger
****In moments of friction, be the mature one. Don't act on your emotion, and express your words out of anger. Instead express your words out of empathy and support. Take the time to see the person' s world view of that situation and reflect that view in your response. ******

Renewing Yourself in Serendipity-Ways to Enhance Your Creativity
Here below is a brief article I wrote to motivate you when you need to think "outside-the-box", to overcome writer's block, or to manage stress in a more creative way.
Be a continual explorer- make every day an adventure in serendipity by stretching yourself and trying something new everyday.
Shift from left-brain to right -brain activities, such as doing mathematical equations or for me balancing my checkbook, to writing a poem or a letter. Doing so will balance the wonders and workings of the mind.
Learn to meditate.
Try yoga and tai chi that links the mind to the body.
Delve into books of the spiritual realm, such as those written by Deepak Chopra. ” The Prophet” and “Bhavard Ghita” are also two classics everyone should read along with “Tuesdays with Morrie” and “Five People You Will Meet in Heaven.”
Make friends from all different countries and all walks of life. Travel to these countries when you have the opportunity to do so.
Try new foods –eat at different restaurants you have never been before.
Spend time with children to reconnect with your inner child. Remember to play!
Make snow angels, buy yourself stuff toys and name them, eat licorice and chew bubble gum, and do cannonballs in the pool.
Make a holiday for each month. Celebrate Groundhog Day, Friday the 13th, etc.. Send out cards for these special holidays.
Save special cartoons that speak to you, laminate and frame them in a place of importance for you. Send some of the cartoons to persons who may need them for motivation.
Create a collage of how you would like your life to be: work, leisure, and personal relationships, etc. Laminate and place it where you can see it often.
Learn a new language.
Watch cartoons, children’s programs, and movies to reconnect with the wondrous spirit of a child.
Review a new article or book every month from many different fields and share it with others.
Start a journal in which you can write your thoughts. What are your secret dreams? Who are the people that can help you achieve them? Write something positive every day that has happened to you and what you have learned from that experience.
Volunteer your time (whether it is as a virtual volunteer or in person) with an organization of your interest. Helping others can renew your spirit in a very special way.
Commit acts of random kindness.
Keep a notebook with you at all times to record significant thoughts, ideas, even names and phone numbers of people you meet that become kindred spirits in your life.
Call or email someone you have not connected with in awhile; they may just be in need of your special caring.
Now, think of other ways you can renew yourself in Serendipity – keep this list growing every day of your life!
