The 10/90 Rule

10% of Life are the happening events; 90% are our responses!

So here we are living our lives and responding to those events which affect us. All of those happening events are stresses brought to bear on our very being. 10 % of life represents all of those happening events. 90% of our lives represents our responses to those stresses.

It is important to understand that stress is like an energy that pushes us. Sometimes that energy is very positive. For example, when we get a raise or promotion at work we feel great. Similarly, when anything good happens to us we are energized and uplifted.

But what happens when that stress is what I call a negative stress. Then we are obligated to respond. There are times when that negative stress is over-whelming such as a severe injury or illness and it’s difficult to respond. Our response here is to seek help.

And other times our responses are angry responses, which many of us exhibit as the result of a real or perceived aggression against us, very often leading to inappropriate behavior, rage, physical or verbal abuse and difficult relationships.

Anger Management Training will teach you how to handle your Stress and Anger responses while also helping you to improve your Communication skills and your Emotional Intelligence or your understanding of the meanings of what others are saying in your relationships.

If you have recurring episodes of aggressive, angry behavior, you should seek Anger Management Training before it’s mandated by a court of law. It will improve your life, your health and your relationships.
