Fire Drill! (Scott Noelle - dailygroove.net/fire-drill) A fire drill is when a fire alarm is set off intentionally so you can practice responding wisely in the event of a real fire. When youve gone through the motions repeatedly, your body will know what to do even if you freak out and cant think clearly. Parental anger is like a raging fire that can consume you and your child. But you can predetermine your escape route and rehearse it by doing emotional fire drills when youre feeling relaxed and clear-minded. Start by imagining a frustrating situation until you feel a sense of the anger it might elicit. Then practice whatever technique works for you to transform or redirect the anger energy in a harmless way. Techniques that involve a physical component -- such as deep breathing, whole-body movement, or vocalizing -- are especially effective. Have fun with it! :-) Most importantly, choose or create an anger transformation routine that leads you back to your heart -- empowered, centered, and creative -- and practice until you can get there even in the heat of the moment.
