Ch. 8 #3

The concept I wanted to touch of from this weeks readings, is the concept of "Before Expressing Anger". In specifics I want to talk about the sub concept, of "Take Time Out". The reason I chose this was because I felt it was best that I could relate to my personal life. I took this concept and actually had to use it this past week. I found myself in a very heated argument with my mother, we were arguing over the fact of how she babies her grandchildren. And it got to a point to where things began to get personal. Then I took into consideration the take a time out concept, I just walked into my room, took a 15 minute break, walked back into the room and calmly talked to my mom about the situation. It allowed for a much more calm environment, and not only that were able to just brush off the problem and continue on with out day. This cool down process has allowed for a much more calm atmosphere in my home, and ive actually relayed this concept to my family. It hasnt really gone into a full affect, but its a slow but sure process.
