I read an article titled "Why Improving Yourself Isn't Always Easy". I agree that improving yourself is not easy and it also takes time. First you have to think of things you would like to improve. You also have to think of ways you can improve these things. Self improvement also is only accomplished by dedicated people.

A good summary of this is obviously that you should not stress over the little things. I learned that it is not stress that kills people. The way people deal with stress is what kills them. Instead of blowing up and saying or doing things you will regret, there are much better solutions to deal with the small things. Most of the time, the little things do not matter. It is not worth getting fed up over

To summarize the article it basically stated that we over react to the smallest of situations such as be cut off in traffic and when we over react to the small things in life it causes us to stress 2 times more then what we need to which causes it to turn into a bigger situation and causes more stress for you and all the people around so in conclusion don't sweat the small things in life

I chose to read "Why improving yourself isn't always easy".In this article the author talked about how we develop and try to use these "self-improvement" apps created by people who have the money to create them, instead of the people who are actually qualified to do so.Every one is different as we hear people say daily in our lives and everyone's happiness comes from many different places so trying to use something that isn't created specifically for your mental state but for everyone's seems a little redundant and counterproductive.

I learned on how to stop overreacting to simple and minor inconveniences that annoy me. I must know my triggers and learn how to think ahead of time and think in the mind of others. How would this person react? How would other people view me? Thinking about the consequences and future problems that can arise due to my actions can cause me to slow down and think about what I am doing a head of time. The article talked about knowing what triggers you and to try to stay away from them and knowing the changes in yourself (e.g. hot face, tense muscles) and how to act using "I" statements to express how you feel without pointing the finger at someone else to cause more problems.

I read the article about how to not sweat the small stuff. Surprisingly, the article stated a lot of our stresses are about what happened in the past. The author in a way stated that you wanted to improve yourself in the now, you needed to reflect on the what had happened in the past and realize what your “triggers” are. If you know something bothers you, it is best to avoid it or work on controlling yourself around it. Also, the author stated that if something is currently bothering you, deal with it as soon as possible. Problems that are not dealt with will continually be brought up and only add to your stress.

The article i picked is When the Mind Stops. It's about when your mind goes quit and what happens when it does. It happens to a portion of the brain that isn't needed for an activity. Like for example, if you were playing a sport, the part that helps you think about what happened at school the other day wouldn't be used.

I looked at the article, how to stop overreacting the small stuff. In summary it said, that overreacting is often caused by stress and we know what those triggers are. It says if we know your triggers, we could react more calm way. I think that is a good point for less frequent things for example, someone saying something behind your back. However, I do not think that would work for frequent situations. I think is because one of my triggers is when I have to work with people who do not do their jobs.I worked 6 days a week in the summer and everyday I was put with the same people who never did their job, I kind of brushed it off and did their job for them as well as doing my job, but now I can not that because I am fed up with doing double the work and dealing with their attitudes.

The article that i read was about overreacting and what to do to refrain from overreacting. The first step was to take a moment which means that should breathe, sit on the situation a little bit and then the second step is to rationalize meaning that you should think about what happened but not making it personal and think about in a different view almost as if you were someone else and the last step is to act meaning to express yourself in a positive way.

Happiness is more with things and people around you. The article states that wealth is a consequence that leads to happiness. I disagree with that statement because wealth is only well being and not what can keep you going day to day. The things that keep you going such as: children, spouse, friends and family are thing that can inspired you and keep you uplifted. Being inconsiderate can lead to being self centered which wouldn't lead to happiness.

I learn that the apps that are meant for improving yourself do not work. It doesn't work because the people who make the apps are not professional psychologist. The maker of these apps are business people.

when our mind is quite we are typically just being human. In dangerous situations we have to focus our complete attention to the challenge we are facing

I learned that overreacting too small stuff can lead to other problems like more stress,and anxiety. If you are overreacting a lot it might be other things that are deeper that you are thinking about. I also learned that in those moments or when you are sitting alone if you don't know what is triggering you so much stop and think before you speak. Two things I did agree with is that over thinking can cause a lot of stress that isn't needed. Also that even after taking a moment to calm down in a situation find a way to re-channel yourself.

I read the article Why Improving Yourself Isn't Always Easy. I learned that there were self improving apps. The apps are created by people who have the money to create the apps. I also learned people find happiness in many different things.

I read the article called, "7 Ways to Grow a Love That Lasts" and I 110% agree with what the article was saying. I am in a relationship myself and this article helped me find a solution to some of the problems in my relationship. My partner and I have little arguments that can easily be avoided, and the article said that there was a couple that would argue about things that didn't even matter, but they realized that all the needed was a little personal space. I believe that because i've realized that that was our problem. I will have my partner read the article and get his thoughts about it.
