When we throw things and break things over strong emotions - rage, depression, grief - is that helping or actually harmful? That is harmful and we need to stop and do something helpful.

When we get anxious, it's because of something outside our control. Next time you feel anxious ask yourself, is this helpful? is the anxiety in charge of me?

We are independent humans, we do not simply accept someone coming in and telling us what to do or how to do it. So then, why do we let our impulses boss us around and 'forcing' us to get mad, to argue, to eat unhealthily, or to get sad? Let us be in control of ourselves.

Anger isn't strength. Why does a boxer try to goad the other into anger? Because they know that an opponent who is controlled by emotions - instead of controlling their emotions - is a weaker opponent, and therefore easier to beat.
Let's remain in control of our emotions and stop thinking anger is somehow 'masculine'.

You do not have to be informed about every last detail of the news, sports, gossip, or popular TV show. Don't be afraid to say 'I don't know' and you will gain more time for yourself and things that matter.
