Managing Anger

Hello Stronger Together folks,

This week we’re talking about anger management.

Maybe the political turmoil we are currently experiencing is making you mad. How do we manage anger productively, since there is really no way we won’t get angry at times? Let’s talk about it. We’ll watch this mindfulness video on anger.

Warm up question: What is something that many people consider a modern-day convenience that you, quite frankly, consider a pain in the neck?

Is Watching the News Bad for Your Mental Health?

Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I think you will all agree that the topic Brian found for our conversation this week: “Is Watching the new News Bad for Your Mental  Health” is very timely. We are inundated with 24-hour news circle so the question is how much news are we consuming and how is it affecting our mental health? The article below discusses how consuming too much news can impact our mental health and then offers some tips on how to manage our news intake.
There is no video this week and so I don’t have to worry about screen sharing, Yay! As you read the article below, take note of the many tips provided and come prepared to share your personal experiences. Let’s learn from each other and stay Stronger Together.

For our warmup question, please come prepared to talk about “The Best Book you have ever read.”

I look forward to seeing most, if not all of you on Thursday.

Sampson
