WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE EXTREMELY ANGRY AT SOMEONE?

Anger is an intense emotional state involving a strong uncomfortable and non-cooperative response to a perceived provocation, hurt or threat. An angry person will often experience physical effects, such as increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and increased levels of adrenaline.
Some view anger as a normal and natural human emotion, while some see it as a weakness to be angry. 
People react differently when they are angry. Some don't voice it out but inside, they are a burning cauldron. Some people just go away and leave the scene of the crime until things have cooled down.  Others are more expressive and they yell. Some get physical, and destroy things when they're angry. Some yell out insults and obscenities. Others could go as far as causing physical harm and destruction. 
    So which category do you belong? Do you think anger is normal? Some people like to think that as a christian, "you shouldn't be getting angry". Lol, really? They really do see it as some sort of defect spiritually that needs some laying of hands. 
    What's the best way to react when you're boiling with rage? Explode immediately or swallow it and maybe explode later? Remember that if you don't show people how you really feel, they may not know and may end up doing the same things that got you angry in the first place. Also, anger takes a bad toll on the body physically and emotionally and if not expressed, could continue to cause more and more problems. 
     The issue now is, what is the right way to express anger so that it becomes a mature reaction devoid of verbal tirades or physical destruction or infliction of injury? Do you sit the culprit down and tell them in a reduced tone of voice that they have offended you? I mean, how would they take you seriously and know the gravity of what they have done? Right? They may think you're not serious and that you're not really angry. 
    In all, we need to communicate our feelings in a mature and respectful way, not bottling things up and exploding over something very flimsy. Try not to be verbally insulting in communicating your issues; also try not to be physically abusive and destructive in doing that too. In all we do, effective communication solves and prevents a lot of problems.

5 LIFE LESSONS FROM BIG BROTHER NAIJA SEASON 6

If you have been watching past editions of the Big Brother Naija show held in Lagos-Nigeria, you would agree with me that there are tons of life lessons to be learned from the show. If you’re not aware, the show is about a number of people living together in a house full of cameras, navigating through tasks and relationships and voted out by the audience until one person wins. This season started with 22 housemates and then in the first eviction 3 people were booted off ( Yerins, Niyi and Beatrice). In that same night, 4 new housemates (JMK, Kayvee, Michael and Queen) joined the initial cast of Whitemoney, Pere, Liquorose, Jackie B, Maria, Peace, Sammie, Saga, Nini, Arin, Princess, Boma, Cross, Jaypaul, Saskay, Angel, Emmanuel, Peace, Tega and Yousef.  So back to the topic: what have you learned so far from the show? Hmmm… 1. VIEWERS LIKE WHO THEY LIKE As it has proven year after year, when the show starts, viewers are drawn to particular housemates most times because of how they l...

HAPPY NEW YEAR: DO IT NOW!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! It’s the start of a new year and we made it, yaaayyyyy!!! It’s exciting to begin this new year 2025 and look ahead with great enthusiasm. What are your plans for 2025 and who are you cutting off from your life? Lol. It’s normal to see posts on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram about being a changed person, taking no bull crap from anyone and cutting people of, yen yen yen.  Truth is, it’s good to want to evaluate your life and strategize on the path going forward and all that; but then, why wait for the 31st of December to make such decisions? You can make decisions like that anytime you feel they are necessary. You don’t need to cross your legs waiting for the clock to chime in 12.00 am on January 1st before you decide. January 1st is another day just like November 6th or March 14th. Do what you need to do to effect that positive change you desire in your life and DO IT NOW!

WHAT DO STRANGERS MOSTLY ASSUME ABOUT YOU?

First of all, we are all guilty of this, let’s not even deny it. You meet someone and you immediately assume something about them. “Hmmm, she just looks like she would have a sugar daddy”. “No, he’s definitely a yahoo boy”. We just assume things about people we hardly even know.  I have had people tell me that when they first met me, they thought I was stuck up. Some say they thought I was mean and that I had this mean look. I know I’m working on smiling a lot but come on, MEAN?? Again some have said it was hard to approach me because they felt I would be cold and mean and they didn’t want to be embarrassed.  I have to tell you, it didn’t feel good hearing all that because they are not in any way a representation of who I really am. I’m a blunt person, I know (sometimes a tad too blunt for my own good), but I am not mean at all. But, what did I do about all those negative assumptions people had about me? I decided to work on myself; heck I’m still working on myself....
