You know, that piece of us that gets overly reactive when set off; that piece that spews anger and loses control!<br \/>\nBefore you blow a fuse, spew hot lava from your inner-volcano, try on these<br \/>\n<em><strong>&#8220;Tips to Tame Mount Redoubt&#8221;<\/strong><\/em> &#8230;<br \/>\nTip #1:  <strong>NOTICE<\/strong>:  Be aware of what is triggering your anger and rather than going straight to spewing, put your feelings into words so that you can &#8216;act&#8217; rather than &#8216;react.&#8217;<br \/>\nTip #2: <strong> STOP<\/strong>:  Give yourself at least one minute to &#8216;neutralize.&#8217;  Take in a few deep cleansing breaths.  Ahhhhh.<br \/>\nTip #3:  <strong>THINK<\/strong>:  Consider at least three potential solutions to the problem; and then consider their outcomes.<br \/>\nTip #4:  <strong>CHOOSE<\/strong>:  Now that you have &#8216;noticed&#8217; what is going on; stopped to give yourself a moment to &#8216;neutralize,&#8217; and &#8216;thought&#8217; threw a few options; Choose a course of action!<br \/>\nTip #5:  <strong>WALK AWAY<\/strong>:  Remember that walking way from a conflict is always an option.  Saying nothing; doing nothing is sometimes the more powerful approach &#8211; the smartest path to take.<br \/>\nTip #6:  <strong>SEEK HELP<\/strong>:  If you find that you are frequently in &#8216;volcano&#8217; mode, perhaps you might consider reaching out to a profession that can help you work it through in an appropriate way and setting!<br \/>\nTip #7:  <strong>DO NOT STUFF IT<\/strong>:  Food is NOT the answer.  Stuffing down your feelings will not help.   Write it out (as mentioned above).  Talk it out (with a counselor or a trusted friend).  Scribble it out, doodle it out, sing it out, let it out!!!<br \/>\n<em>Spread the word &#8230; NOT the icing!<br \/>\nJanice<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Happy Links:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2008\/04\/how-to-create-a-good-morning-t.html\">Ten Ways to Make Your Day a Good One<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2009\/03\/how-to-create-an-affirmation-c.html\">How to Make an Affirmation Container<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2009\/03\/13-ways-to-improve-your-luck.html\">Improve Your Luck<\/a><br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\">Janice Taylor is a Life &amp; Wellness Coach, specializing in weight loss, reinvention, transformation &amp; happiness<\/a>, author, seminar leader and 50-pound-BIG-Time-LOSER!  <a href=\"mailto:janice@ourladyofweightloss.com\">Write Janice<\/a> for an Introductory Coaching Session.<br \/>\nFor more motivation and inspiration, join the <a href=\"http:\/\/community.beliefnet.com\/kickinthetushclub\">Kick in the Tush Club: Beliefnet Chapter.  <\/a><br \/>\nPick up a copy of Janice&#8217;s latest: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/All-Forgiven-Move-Fat-Burning-Sveltesville\/dp\/014200524X\/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1197052667&amp;sr=1-1\">All Is Forgiven, Move ON ~ Our Lady of Weight Loss&#8217;s 101 Fat-Burning Steps on Your Journey to Sveltesville<\/a>!<br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Janice Taylor is a certain kind of kooky genius ~ see if her idiosyncratic diet plan will work for you.&#8221; ~ O, The Oprah Magazine<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\/motivation\/coach.asp\"><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ART heart.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/100\/import\/ART%20heart.jpg\" width=\"34\" height=\"34\" class=\"mt-image-left\" \/><\/span> <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\/motivation\/coach.asp\"> about Janice<\/a><br \/>\nFollow Janice on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/OurLady\">Twitter<\/a>:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/home.php#\/profile.php?sid=d82081eb96fa8033ec096ad6ccfd2b0a&amp;id=557881698&amp;hiq=janice%2Ctaylor\">Facebook<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning&#8217;s hot topic (literally and figuratively)&#8230; &#8220;Alaska&#8217;s Mt.
