sentence: "Today, for my own well being, I choose to forgive these people/situations..." Do this for one week. Observe change that comes over you during that period of time. At end of week, recite or write this phrase: "I release myself from past and its pain. The people and incidents I have forgiven no longer have power over me." If your anger continues or more anger/aggression comes up as a result of this exercise, immediately see a qualified psychotherapist for more help.Anger Toolbox: Get more tools on managing your anger online at http://angertoolbox.com/angersmart.html or take our free anger ecourse by sending a blank email to angertoolbox@getresponse.com *This material is copyrighted and sole property of Ron Huxley and AngerToolbox.com.

| | 5 Ways to Win the War on ClutterWritten by Dietta L. Stewart
Continued from page 1
Here are 5 easy ways to get you started. 1. Define Clutter. What does clutter mean to you? In order to defeat something you have to know what it is you’re fighting. 2. Take one area at a time. Sort through your stuff, clean and dust as you go. Get rid of things that no longer fit who you are. 3. Do regular clutter maintenance to keep it from getting out of control. Create a a schedule for major clutter clearing, like spring and fall, or every New Year’s day,. 4. Create a space for everything. 5. Decide what areas won’t be clutter free. Unless you live by yourself or with someone who is very neat, you have to deal with other people’s clutter. If we let it, clutter can cause many argument, heartache and headache. To alleviate stress of trying to control someone else’s clutter accept that some areas will always be cluttered unless person or people creating clutter changes or cleans it up. This is okay. Every where we have lived my husband has created a spot where he puts everything he brings into house and leaves it there. Magazines mail, tools, you name it. In past I would let this frustrate me and I tried my best to change it, after over ten years of marriage it still hasn’t changed. I don’t think it ever will, so I have learned to live with it. When I’m in mood I clean it up. When I’m not, I leave it.
