Control your Anger

Anger is a natural response that we all experience. Some of us feel this emotion more frequently than others. Similarly, some of us control our emotions better than others.

Anger leaves a bad taste in your mouth in the sense that it transmits a lingering feeling of negativity. The angrier you get the deeper the emotional reaction and the longer the bad taste lingers. 
Whilst it can be quite healthy to quickly vent one's angry feelings, this should be distinguished from a prolonged rant. The former gets the emotion out and leaves it there. You can then return to a comfortable state of equanimity and turn your focus to better things. The latter, however, has quite a different long-term effect. The ranting serves to anchor the negativity and embed it more deeply thereby ensuring that it is more difficult to shift and move away from.
When you are angry your emotional state is in turmoil. When you wish to control anger you have a choice as to how you go about achieving this aim. 
You could approach the subject of overcoming anger from the perspective of changing your thoughts. Thoughts create emotions and these determine your actions. By choosing to change your thoughts to something that is more peaceful you will inevitably begin to feel calmer and more relaxed. The anger will shift along with the focus of your thoughts.
An alternative approach to overcoming anger is to focus upon your emotional state. Although I just said that thought creates emotions that in turn predict behavior, your mind and body interact in a two-way process. Just as mind works upon body the reverse is also the case. 
When you are angry everything in your body feels tense. Everything is tight. Your breathing is shallower and more rapid and your heart beats at a swifter rate. Adrenalin flows and you are poised to fight. This is the state that anger creates. 
You could beat a cushion and get the tension out that way. You could run it off. Or you could focus upon your state and intentionally shake your muscles loose, deepen your breathing and calm your heart rate. 
Hypnosis provides a way in which you can control anger from both angles. Hypnosis is in itself a state of relaxation and so merely by using hypnosis you change both your focus and your state. With hypnosis you can create a state of relaxed awareness at a moments notice and step back from situations so as to see them from a different angle. 
There is an added benefit to using hypnosis in that it provides access to your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is the part where automatic patterns of thought and reaction are stored. If your anger thermostat has gotten used to being turned up higher than you wish you could make suggestions to lower this threshold and hence not rise to the bait so swiftly or frequently. This intervention can be achieved easily and quickly simply by listening to a hypnosis mp3 download.

Employees and Company: The Company Culture

What does ‘company culture’ mean?

Company culture relates to the behaviors of a set of individuals within the same work environment; how they act, the values they describe to these actions, their personal goals and how these fit in with the goals of the organization, where they work, and how individuals interact with others in this environment.

It relates to the understanding of a company’s mission, visions and goals by the whole of the workforce; ideally, every person in the organization will know what the company wants to achieve and work towards this in every instance. It is not enough for an individual to do their tasks because they know it is what is required of them; they should do it because they know it will benefit the company, which they feel a part of

What's the best way to keep your workers happy? This question arises everywhere but what is the answer? Competitive salaries and benefits can certainly contribute to employee satisfaction, but a strong, supportive company culture can be just as important to retaining your top employees.

"Culture unleashes the power and energy of every individual in the organization," said Manish Goel, CEO of business analytics solutions provider Guavus. "No matter how much work is put into developing strategies, all have to work in an environment where they feel they can succeed and are supported. A great culture isn't something that's stagnant and can always exist as-is. It is liquid and has to be fostered. I firmly believe that organizations get the best out of people by having a one-team mindset and an attitude of trust."

Why is a good company culture important?

A strong culture helps an organisation to work like a well-oiled machine, where every employee responds to events because of what they know about the company’s values. Little control needs to be exercised over employees in companies with a good work culture because they all know what needs to be done, why and how, and work automatically to achieve it.

Weak cultures, on the other hand, do not have the same kind of alignment to company values, so more effort needs to be placed in controlling employees to keep them on track.

Clearly there is an advantage to a good company culture: less monitoring is required by the higher-ups, and the work that is done is of a higher value to the company.

A company with a clear culture will be able to easily induct new employees into the company’s set of beliefs and encourage ways of working that cohere to the company’s goals and visions as a whole. Employees within a company with a good culture are also more engaged, motivated to succeed and display more organisational loyalty, which can take the form of being less likely to leave the company and being more likely to become an advocate of the organisation.

An increase in team cohesiveness is also a by-product of a good company culture. Individuals know where they stand within a team, trust everyone else to do a good job, feel valued and feel like their contribution is important. This all combines to create a good team working environment, where all members are able to contribute for the good of the whole, like – as mentioned earlier – a well-oiled machine.

So clearly a good company culture is something to aspire to. Not only does it breed a good working environment, but it is beneficial for individuals, teams, departments and organisations as a whole. What’s not to like?

5 quick tips to improve your company culture!

1.   First, identify where you’re going wrong. Think about how your organisation would work if your company culture was perfect (you can use the above section as a basis for comparison).

2.   Work on communication: create communication channels throughout your company so that key messages are heard by everyone and understood. Get everyone on the same page! 

3.   It is clear that being engaged at work and having a good company culture are linked. Increasing engagement can help to bring about a culture change.

4.   Encourage employees to take pride in their work by rewarding them for great effort. 

5.   Finally, invest in learning, training and increasing employee knowledge. If employees feel that they are valued enough to receive training, they’re more likely to be happy at work and be willing to work towards the values of the company. Hey presto, a good company culture!

How to Save Your Marriage

All wants their married life happy and successful. Why dispute arises. How to make your married life enjoyable.

There are guidelines to follow if you want to save your marriage. Marriage is more than just a game in life but nevertheless married couples enter the playing field with no practical experience or any idea of the rules.

Some couples master the rules faster than others. Some come to a decision they don't like the game at all and call it a day. Others carry on playing the game even though they don't like it and are not having any fun at all. They keep on rolling the dice hoping that their luck will change and the game will get better. Let's have a look at 5 rules that can save your marriage.

1. Being Tolerant.

It's easy to see the best in a person as long as they are doing what you like. But it is important to make the effort to not let little things irritate you. If your partner does something that does annoy you, don't look at them as faults but as unique character qualities. Love the faults along with the benefits. This may seem you adjustment but will develop trust and patience.

2. Be a Space Giver.

This means not only having separate wardrobes but allow each other much needed private time. Being with someone you love all the time is challenging. This applies to not only at home but with friends as well. Incidentally, with regards to the space in the wardrobes, keep yours tidy.

3. Go Away Together.

It's tricky to find time to take a holiday in a busy marriage but you must do it. A change of surroundings can really save your marriage by reigniting the spark that may be fading. And memories can be the glue that keeps you stuck together while the other pressures of life try to pull you apart.

4. Compare Opinions. Don't Argue.

Arguments will arise in any relationship but if you want to save your marriage be respectful of your partner's opinion. If the argument gets heated and its late in the day, it may be best to go to bed and sleep on it. An old saying recommends that you to never go to bed angry but things generally look better in the morning. Never give an ultimatum unless you want it to be taken. Give consideration to your partner's likes and dislikes and you'll have fewer arguments.

5. Don't Forget The Romance.

You don't have to be newlyweds to experience romance and intimacy. One of the ways to improve a relationship is to remember what you did when you starting dating and do it again. You probably exchanged gifts, took walks and went out for romantic dinner dates. You may think you know everything about your partner and if that's so, why aren't they happy? Why aren't you happy?
