Such important research for all of us. “Venting” increases anger and is hard others and on our own bodies. Calm yourself first.

The best way to regulate anger is not to vent right away. It’s to calm down first. 154 studies: Deep breathing, meditation & yoga are better antidotes to aggression than yelling, punching & running. Anger management is about lowering your heart rate, not raising it. Relaxing

Shoutout to CHRIS 180's own Lulu Brower, who has been working with a student at @apsBAMOAcademy to change his ways. He recently said, "Ms. Lulu, I was about to steal, then I remembered what you said about holding myself to a higher standard, and I didn't steal." @apusupdate

To prepare students for the workforce today, colleges should teach students emotional intelligence, resilience, empathy, integrity, learnability, and leadership skills.

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT! At 7:00pm, @MMM_Law, and Mr. Atlanta Technology, @jcyates and I will be at @eagleeyebooks to discuss: "The Heart of Networking". Some think that "Networking" is about Boozing and Schmoozing". Just not true. https://t.co/GEKPVOUxWL

Mentorship is an impactful way our volunteers pour into the community. Today’s students have the opportunity to speak with mentors in various careers & expand their view of the future.
