Uncover The Secret To Finding "Serenity Now"
Dear Reader,
You've heard the mantra, but if you're easily roused and riled, serenity now is more of a hope than a reality... until now. New research is the first to suggest what might work in the heat of the moment - pretend you're looking at the irritating situation from a distance rather than being a participant in it. The finding comes from researchers at Ohio State University and the University of Michigan who saw that a self distancing strategy can impact how angry and aggressive you become when someone presses your buttons.
What's more, the technique can be easily and quickly learned, and works great when you're faced with a heated, temper provoking situation.
The experiment began by subjecting study participants (undergraduate college students) to a loud, intense bit of classical music while asking them to solve 14 difficult anagrams (rearranging the letters in words to form other words) in seven seconds and announcing the solution over an intercom. Participants were provoked further by being repeatedly interrupted and eventually sharply derided by the researchers. If this weren't challenging enough, the participants were told to think about the anagram task and assigned to one of three groups...
· To recall the incident and immerse themselves in it, letting the situation unfold again through their own eyes.
· To recall the incident and look at it from a distance, as if you were watching what transpired from far away.
· Given no specific directions on recalling the anagram incident.
That's when the real research started, testing the participants for angry feelings and aggressive thoughts. In the first test, 94 of the college students were asked to report on mood and complete words that could be positive or negative. K--- could be kiss or kite, or kill.
For the second experiment the researchers took things one step further and told study subjects, a new set of participants, that they were competing with a student partner (who had been harsh and unflattering during the anagram part of the experiment) and a victory would let them blast the loser with an intense noise via headset, with free choice of both decibel level and duration.
The participants who used the self-distancing technique were less irritable and acted less aggressively during this test. They used shorter, less intense noises than those who used the immersion approach or were members of the control group. This shows that the self-distancing technique can work in the heat of the moment, when the emotions are still fresh.

Uncover The Secret To Finding "Serenity Now" Continued...
Understand that nobody self distances naturally - when we get mad people think
back on what was said, fuss and fume. It's hard not to, but experts say that
this is, in fact, the worst thing you can do. Rather than having the beneficial
and cathartic effect folk wisdom says will come, this approach actually keeps
aggressive thoughts and anger active in your mind, making it far more likely
that you'll act aggressively... lash out... say something in anger.
What you need to do is try to look at the situation that is provoking you as
if you were a fly on the wall suggests study co-author Brad J. Bushman, who is
a professor of communication and psychology at Ohio State. You don't want to
get immersed in your own anger and black mood. Instead try to neutralize your
aggression by detaching and looking at the situation as an outsider, a fly on
the wall, might see it, and you'll find it easier to interact without overreacting.
To your good health,

We've all been there - caught out and embarrassed by the state of our

Wouldn't it be great to always have a home that's free of clutter,
one you're proud of rather than embarrassed by?
