Learn How To Control Your Emotions

 Be still, and know that I am God.  Psalm 46:10

You are behind a driver who doesn’t immediately move when traffic clears, so what do you do? Wait for the car to move? Tap your horn immediately? Or just ignore the driver while your blood pressure climbs 10 points?

Rushing, pushing, and pressure to get moving becomes an addiction that only you can break. When marriage and family therapist Erik Johnson began expressing his pent-up frustrations in his driving, his wife complained.  Others saw his anger, but not him. “Managing my emotions would be easy,” he said, “if others would stop pushing my buttons!”

He then started thinking about his life, understanding that the pent-up feelings didn’t begin when he turned the key to start the car. He brought them with him—emotional baggage—and the traffic simply intensified them. You know, he’s not alone, either.

You either control your emotions, or they control you. So how do you break the addiction to busyness? If you are a type A, highly motivated person, breaking the addiction doesn’t come easy.

Try these ideas. First ask whether your expectations are realistic.  What do you expect of yourself, of your family, and of others? What you can do, others may not be able to accomplish, and to be angry with them or berate them only creates a tension that can escalate out of control.

Can we excuse our escalating stress which causes relationship problems by saying, “These are hard times. Everybody is under pressure, and I just can’t do anything about it. I can’t help what I do.”

Who would deny the fact that life is often hard?  But each of us can choose whether or not we will see beyond the immediate storm and thunder-clouds to what lies beyond. Preserving relationships involving your wife or husband, your children, your friends and associates is far more important than allowing your stress to wound them.

When your expectations have become unrealistic, it’s time to take the next step—something that only you can do: Unload the excess weight in your life. You can’t do it all, remember?  OK, decide what you realistically can handle, and draw a line and say, “No more!”  Of necessity you have to program some “down time” to enjoy, to sit and relax, and reflect on God’s blessings in your life.

On his 75th birthday, Billy Graham was asked how he wanted to be remembered, and thinking for a moment he said, “I’d like to be remembered as someone who was fun to be around.”  Surprised? I was. To be very honest with you I started thinking of my life and how my grandchildren would remember me, and I decided that remembering me as a loving person, someone they enjoyed being with, was more important than writing one more book, or doing one more conference. Taking this step means going through another door: Prioritize your expectations. Make three categories: a “must do,” a “should do” and an “I’ll do it when I can” list.

Question: Is it possible that we have taken on far more than God ever intended us to deal with? We have become slaves to the phone, to technology, to the unrealistic expectations of bosses and employers who have already sacrificed their families on the altar of the expedient and expect you to do the same thing.

When your “must do” is too long, you know you are facing a potential problem. Stop pushing. You’re the only one who can hit the “stop” button.

Cordillera autonomy bills pushed

By Dexter See

BAGUIO CITY: The chairman of the Senate Committee on Local Government has expressed support to passage of pending measures in Congress for the establishment of an autonomous region in the Cordillera pursuant to pertinent provisions of the Constitution mandating the creation of self-ruled regions in Muslim Mindanao and the Cordillera in Northern Luzon.

Sen. Francis Tolentino, chairman of the Senate Committee on Local Government, said he will be engaging Cordillera lawmakers in the coming weeks to discuss the pending bills in the House of Representatives and the Senate for the formation of the Cordillera Autonomous Region even as he is also working on a proposed extension of the transition period for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao.

According to Tolentino, he will defer to the Cordillera lawmakers on matters involving the region's quest for autonomy, saying they are fully aware of the situation on the ground and the clamor of the people so that the constitutional provisions on putting up another autonomous region will be fulfilled.

On July 15, 2021, the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) will be celebrating its 34th founding anniversary as a special temporary administrative region while waiting for ongoing efforts for the establishment of the autonomous region.

House Bill (HB) 5687 and HB 7778 authored by all Cordillera representatives and Senate Bill 1232 authored by Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri all seek to establish the Cordillera Autonomous Region in line with the provisions of the 1987 Philippine Constitution.

Tolentino assured he will schedule the meeting with the Cordillera lawmakers after July 15.

The CAR was created by virtue of Executive Order (EO) 220 issued by then-President Corazon Aquino on July 15, 1987 when she was still exercising both executive and legislative powers under the former revolutionary government that was established after the 1986 EDSA Revolution.

Under EO 220, the provinces of Abra, Benguet and Mountain Province and Baguio City were taken from Region 1 combined with the provinces of Ifugao and Kalinga-Apayao from Region 2 to compose the administrative region.

Further, this region was supposed to oversee affairs of the government in the Cordillera, accelerate its socio-economic development and prepare it for autonomy.

Autonomy advocates believe the establishment of the autonomous region will propel growth and development in the Cordillera because the regional government will be able to craft programs, policies and projects suitable to the prevailing situation and help move people out from the shackles of poverty with lesser restraint from outside forces.

The Regional Development Council in the Cordillera is spearheading the ongoing drive for regional autonomy through various information and education campaigns, capacity-building and program monitoring and evaluation interventions to help achieve the dream for regional autonomy.
