Why your risk management strategy will fail…
By: Cp Singh
Tags: Resilience, Strategy, Risk, Risk Management

Your risk management will fail if its goal is to keep the regulators off your back. Risk management needs to be integrated with strategy, and be forward looking to make the right impact. If your risk management strategy is forward looking, it will succeed.

I have been in risk consulting space for six years and the one thing i have learnt is that most organizations do not look at risk management from a strategic lens. In fact the risk management function at most organizations is filled with people who have become adept at one thing only — keeping the lights on, and not disrupting the status quo.

I learnt this during when i had my moments of truth during my consulting days. At one time, a partner i was working with sent me a template he had used 30 years back to design a risk assessment program for a client. We changed the look and feel of the template, and won a $1.5 million engagement. There is no way this would happen in any other industry.

Risk management is tied too closely to anticipating and mitigating operating and financial risks because this is an area regulators have focused on since the 2001 Enron scam and the 2009 financial meltdown.

There are areas where organizations are being pushed to do more simply because regulatory regimes are evolving. Specially in emerging risk areas like Cyber risk, Data and Privacy risk, Third Party Risk, AML and Fraud, etc. regulatory requirements are evolving — even if they are not very mature yet, and probably will not be for a long time to come. Even in key areas like Cyber the pace of regulatory evolution has been too slow to keep up with the reality of evolving threats in the market. Organizations today will probably need to invest in cyber capabilities just to keep the operations going rather than to have regulator confidence.

So far not a lot of focus has been put to identify and prioritize threats that might lead to systemic crises in the financial system. This will hopefully change with current regulatory focus on operational resilience — specially in the UK where FCA and PRA have introduced regulations to meet this requirement.
The Future of AI: Friend or Foe?

Is AI threatening my marketing job?

I often find myself wondering what the future holds. What will marketing look like in 5,10… 30 years? How will my job evolve? And what new technologies will enter the market?

Much like the fax machine, the internet and the smartphone shook the world and altered the very way we communicate with each other. I often wonder what kind of tech disruption will appear in my lifetime. Voice, AI… which one of these, or other unknown technologies, will challenge the very fabric of how we live, work and communicate?

But just as much as I marvel at the potential of technology, I just as equally worry about how it will affect my career in marketing. I see how my older colleagues struggle with concepts that come naturally to me and wonder if I will equally struggle down the line.

Despite continued efforts to learn new skills and knowledge, I am often faced with a simple truth:

I cannot learn and produce work as quickly as a machine.

Fortunately for me, I find comfort in knowing that while parts of my job, like optimizing ad cost, reporting and campaign management may be automated, others like my creativity and my writing style cannot be replicated…or can they?

As I sat in the metro on my way home from work last week, a thought crossed my mind:

what if a machine could read all my work, learn, mimic and ultimately compose writing just like mine?

After a quick google search, I stumbled on the recent announcement that artificial intelligence can now produce news stories and fiction all by itself.

Yikes.

No but seriously, a bit more digging and I found that robots can now write somewhat plausible novels, poetry and news reports through learning and replicating. However, their abilities remain limited.

For now, it is unlikely that a computer can compose a complex, and more importantly, coherent piece of creative writing like a human can.

Why?

Simply put, writing is a means of expression that is based on lived life events that a non-sentient machine cannot have.

At least not right now.

So, until machines can have lush life experiences and understand the world surrounding them, they will not be able to tell their own stories, only those of others; replicated, duplicated, or altered in one way or another.

I guess I find comfort knowing that my writing is still my own. But who knows what the future holds. With technology anything is possible…
Reading is Fundamental [for Security Ratings]
Tags: Vulnerability, Third Party Risk, Security, Risk, Ethics

Dear RiskRecon (and other Security Ratings vendors passively assessing organization’s patching posture),

Failing to recognize, investigate, and implement the many well-documented ways that have been shared with you for how you identify backported security fixes in applications does not equate to a “false-positive” like you claim. It’s just plain lazy, and inaccurate.

But instead of belaboring this point, I think we should talk about something more basic and “fundamental”:

Please explain how it is that you can passively collect header information that tells you the OS like this: Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS), and then tell your customers that it’s vulnerable to CVE-2010–0425, CVE-2007–6423?

Image Source: RiskRecon

Some important questions for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce:

Is this the level of acceptable accuracy and empirical evidence you define in your principles?

Where is the accountability for Security Ratings vendors?

Who investigates the investigators?

Maybe you could start a new initiative like: The US Chamber of Commerce Center for Security Ratings Vendors Who Can’t Read Good and Want To Do Other Stuff Good Too
Feeling vulnerable? Maybe you’re just exposed.
By: Nina Flagler Hall
Tags: Vocabulary, Exposure, Climate Resilience, Vulnerability Assessment, Risk

Let’s talk vulnerability. (The definition below, like those that follow, is from the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit.)

Vulnerability: The propensity or predisposition of assets to be adversely affected by hazards.

Vulnerability encompasses exposure, sensitivity, potential impacts, and adaptive capacity. (All of those terms are also defined in the CRT, which you can easily find in the site’s handy-dandy glossary.) Vulnerability encompasses exposure, but they’re not the same thing.

Exposure: The presence of people, assets, and ecosystems in places where they could be adversely affected by hazards.

In other words, an asset (a building, an ecosystem, a person) can be EXPOSED to a climate hazard (a flood, a wildfire, a heat wave)—but that doesn’t mean that it’s VULNERABLE to that climate hazard. To make that determination, you also have to consider other things, such as the asset’s sensitivity and adaptive capacity as well as potential impacts. Briefly:

Sensitivity has to be considered because assets vary in how they’re affected by climate hazards. For instance, the yield of crops with a high sensitivity might be reduced in response to a change in daily minimum temperature during the pollination season. Other crops—those with low sensitivity—may not be affected by such a temperature change at all.

Adaptive capacity has to be considered because assets vary in their ability to cope with change. Increasing the diameter of culverts that channel stormwater away from assets, for example, enhances the adaptive capacity of places that face flooding from increasingly heavy rainfalls. Neighborhoods that house lower income populations, which probably don’t have the financial resources to tackle climate adaptation on their own, may have a lower adaptive capacity than that of an affluent neighborhood.

Potential impacts have to be considered because assets vary in how they’re affected by a hazard. In some cases, a climate hazard can even be beneficial to an asset. Wildfire, for example, can be beneficial for ecosystems—it reduces hazardous fuels, protecting human communities from extreme fires; minimizes the spread of pest insects and disease; removes unwanted invasive species; provides forage; improves habitat for threatened and endangered species; recycles nutrients back to the soil; and promotes the growth of trees, wildflowers, and other plants.

So the bottom line is that exposure does NOT equal vulnerability. They’re two different concepts.

What I saw at NAF, though, was the confounding of exposure as vulnerability…or, worse yet, risk.

Risk: The potential total cost if something of value is damaged or lost, considered together with the likelihood of that loss occurring.

Risk is often evaluated as the probability of a hazard occurring multiplied by the consequence that would result if it did happen. Warehouses sited on a floodplain represent a higher risk for flooding when they are filled with products than when they are empty. That’s an entirely different concept.

Excess of visceral fat is known as central obesity, or “ Belly fat ”, in which the stomach is highly dilated and new developments such as body volume index (BVI) specifically measure abdominal volume and abdominal fat are designed for. Excess visceral fat is also associated with type 2 diabetes insulin resistance, inflammatory diseases, and other obesity-related diseases.

In today’s busy lifestyle, we are so focused on our work that we feel that we are slowly playing with our health, what we are eating fills our stomach, but knowing that What are we eating, are they going to keep your body healthy? It is a matter of thinking that due to their diet we give rise to many dangerous diseases.

There are 7 such diseases here which are from Belly fat.

1. Heart disease

Abdominal fat is dangerous for our body. Scientists already know that abdominal fat — known as abdominal obesity — increases the risk of a first Heart attack. But new research suggests that excessive fat in this specific area also increases the risk of subsequent heart attack. These conditions increase blood pressure, high blood sugar and insulin resistance (diabetes) as well as increased lipid levels in the blood.

The March 6, 2018 issue of the Journal of the American Heart Association in the United Kingdom contains studies ranging in age from 40 to 69 in the United Kingdom.

The researchers measured the participants’ bodies and then tracked those who had heart attacks over the next seven years. During that period, women who weighed more than their median (waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, or waist-to-height ratio) had a heart rate 10% to 20% higher than women. There were seizures. There was a risk.

Heavy at all (measured by body mass index or BMI, weight calculated in relation to height). A larger waist-to-waist ratio, in particular, appears to be a greater cardiovascular factor for women than men. The analysis showed that compared to BMI, the waist-to-hip ratio was stronger as a predictor of heart attack in 18% of women — more than 6% in men.
Risk Management

Every business decision comes with a risk. So it is not about just wanting what is best for the company. That desire itself is a risk because it is at the cost of something that can backfire or not go as planned. Risk is the probability of a negative outcome in a thing, and every investment comes with a level of uncertainty. Click to read more — Risk

Can you avoid risk? No. But can it be managed? Of course. Since you cannot avoid risk, what matters is how can it be managed to reduce the possibility of a negative outcome. To know when to stop and when to give in more.

What is Risk Management?

Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and working to reduce the possibility of a negative outcome in an organisation’s investment — capital and earnings. It is about understanding the potential loss from an investment and steps that can be taken or not taken to reduce loss or ensure a better outcome.

Another thing risk management addresses is the question of if it is worth it. Also identified and assessed is the amount of risk associated with the expected returns. An investment that carries high risk should promise an interest rate that compensates for the risk.

The consequence of a risk that has materialised can be as severe as the company closing down. Risk management helps you to prepare for the unexpected. Actually, it is an enquiry into the unexpected to make it expected and prepared for or avoided.

Importance of Risk management

Risk management is not only about the nature of an investment. It is an approach to management. Risk management equips companies with information and tools to make better decisions. It helps create a consciousness of what is at stake and what action or inaction means for the company.

Risk management also creates room for businesses to learn as they grow and improves their chance of success in the market. If you can foresee and avoid blows that would have sent your business crashing down, then you have learnt more than a few valuable lessons on growth and success.

In addition, it helps to focus on what matters, what they mean for the business and the company goals. It filters what steps to take or not to achieve those goals. It helps to set up procedures for reaching set goals and eliminating distractions on the way.

Risk management also helps to protect the staff and create an enabling work environment. It shields the people and assets involved in the investment process and signals when bravery begins to take the shape of stupidity.

Conclusion

Risk management is not only to be considered when investing. It is relevant in every aspect of running a business because nothing is certain in business. It is good to conduct a periodic risk analysis to determine the state of the company and take necessary steps to improve it.
From Risk to Resilience

Recently, there have been many natural disasters and man made risk which has impact the industry of risk management and insurance. Moreover, individuals, families, businesses and communities continue to be impacted by the unforeseen circumstances stemming from catastrophic risk. These risk include the Earthquake Today, Wildfires, Tropical Storm Fred and Flash Flood occurring around the globe. The frequency in the 2021 Hurricane season is considered to be at the peak based on historical frequency occurring in the August and September time line. The IPCC, FEMA, and the American Security Project are organization particular concerned about the rise in weather related events. The World Economic Forum, EVIA and USGS are study and report on these events.

The purpose of this video is to provide a general level of awareness as it relates to Disaster Resilience, Disaster Risk Management, and Risk Financing. Catastrophe bonds and resilience bonds are financial vehicles that could be used in order to mitigate and reduce the impact to communities whom impacted by such event(s). Although cliche, in my opinion the Build Back Better initiative is of the utmost importance. Even if we have insurance to cover us for such events, there are still limitations and coverage gaps that might cause individuals, families, businesses, and communities to be without complete insurance protection.

Discuss your insurance policy with your insurance agent and/or insurance company to ensure that you have the appropriate insurance coverage limits, endorsements, and that you understand your insurance deductible.

Are Kenyan banks already opting for lower risk government and corporate customers?

Are Kenyan banks already opting for lower risk government and corporate customers? Nathan Wangusi Jun 26·2 min read

Today my small loan application was denied because as it seems with the threat of a cap on interest rates it will become too risky for banks to lend to retail borrowers and SME’s. Citizens and your misguided legislators this is what starts to happen when you cap interest rates without addressing the root causes of high cost of credit.

The complexities of high credit costs cannot be solved by writing a quarter page legislation capping interest rates. One of the ways banks hedge the risk of their credit portfolios is through setting interest rates, securitization of credit or both. Simply put when we pull the plug on their ability to manage credit risk with bogus legislation without offering alternative hedges naturally they gravitate to larger less risky customers ( like government and corporates) to maintain the same risk profile on a credit portfolio. We have tried to institute a regime to support credit sharing, credit rating and broaden collateralization beyond immovable assets among other measures that will offer banks the ability to hedge credit risk better.

Kenya ostentatiously wants to position itself as the go-to financial hub of the region in the next decade. This depends on having a vibrant and market based credit system that allows for the development of a derivatives market with instruments such as credit default swaps, options and collateralized debt obligations . While it is true that at current interest rates it is an unattractive value proposition for banks to even start to venture into these derivative markets (as retail credit is wildly profitable and commercial credit a safe bet) these markets can hardly develop within the confines of populist legislated interest caps.

My estimation is that more and more banks will follow suit as soon as this shoddy bill written out of sheer complacency becomes law in addition to other non-bank credit providers withholding credit to small borrowers.

The analysis of Forex market (1st August)
By: Cpt Markets
Tags: Economics, Cpt Markets, Trade, Risks, Finance

This is daily technical analysis from analyst Ray

The Fed cut interest rates by a quarter percentage point, as expected, at 2 a.m.(gmt+8) for the first time since 2008, citing concerns about the slowing global economy and U.S. inflation and suggesting it was prepared to lower borrowing costs further if necessary. However, Fed chairman Colin Powell said the rate cut is essentially a policy change in the middle of the cycle, not the beginning of a long series of rate cuts.

The dollar hits its highest level in more than two years and is currently trading around 98.75, with the upper pressure at 99 and the lower support around 98.20.

EUR/USD

The EUR/USD effectively broke the round mark of 1.1100, setting a new low for nearly 2 years, with short-term support at 1.1050 below and 1.1000 below. The short-term pressure is at 1.1100 above and the pressure is at 1.1150 above.

GBP/USD

The pound’s rebound was thwarted yesterday, but it suffered a fourth straight fall, falling 4.23 per cent against the dollar in July. This is its worst month since October 2016, as fears of a non-deal Brexit mounted. Watching tonight’s BOE rate decision and carney’s speech, the bank of England is expected to keep rates unchanged. The upper pressure in 1.2200, below the short-term support in 1.2100, effectively below the bearish line to 1.2200.

XAU/USD

Spot gold tumbled nearly $20 to a near two-week low of $1,410.69 an ounce. The Fed cut rates for the first time since 2008 but failed to cheer investors as markets priced in the impact and the central bank gave no dovish outlook. Today lower support is at 1400 integer pass, and the above pressure is around 1420.

USO/USD

Oil prices in New York retreated yesterday after hitting a two-week high before falling sharply on Mr. Powell’s remarks. U.S. crude inventories fell 8.5 million barrels last week, the seventh straight weekly decline, according to the energy information administration. While the Fed cut interest rates for the first time in a decade, Powell said this was not necessarily the start of a monetary easing cycle, with the dollar rising, which is usually bad for oil prices. The upper pressure is around 58.30 and the lower support is at the 57.00 level.

What do you want?
Tags: Life, Dreams, Goals, Risk, Poem

I think we all know what we want.

Sometimes it just gets lost amongst our other thoughts.

Ask yourself, what do you think about when you fall asleep? What do you think about when you daydream? What do you think about when you’re not really thinking about anything?

You know what that is.

Forget about logic, forget about what’s right and what’s wrong, forget about what everyone else thinks, just for one moment.

Remember what you want and do it.

The rest you can figure out later.

Think about it really hard.

What does it look like? What does it smell like? What does it sound like? What does it taste like? What does it feel like?

How does it make you feel?

You know what it is.

It’s doesn’t matter that’s it not safe. It’s your dream. When was the last time you heard of a dream being safe?

Be smart about your dreams, but don’t be heartless.

You know what you want.

But,

Maybe the reason you have not heard of a dream being safe is that the bigger the risk the bigger the reward.

Does everyone who risks it all become known? No.

Many people who risk it all, lose it all.

You only hear about the ones who win it all.

And what happens to the rest?

Caution is a weakness but also a strength.

An impossible balancing act.

But,

If you take no action, you will get nowhere.

So what do you do?

Take some action.

Don’t be afraid.

Don’t risk it all, but risk something.

You won’t know if it was the right choice until you’ve already made it.
Is application hardening really needed in 2020? if so why?
By: Only Gourav
Tags: Application Security, Cybersecurity, Application, Security, Risk

Photo by Markus Winkler on Unsplash

Most of the software professionals believe that application hardening is an a very crucial part in the software development process. When application hardening is implemented, then it becomes very difficult for cyber criminal to do the following activities :

1.Finds difficulty in finding the source.

2.Finds difficulty in finding software vulnerability and replace it with malicious code.

3.Can’t make the application environment toxic.

Cyber criminals are going smart as each day passes by. Indicating that they are finding new tactics to steal your confidential information by exposing your software vulnerability. Thankfully there are some solutions to resist it. These solutions are known as application hardening

Now application hardening comes in two segments, one is known as passive hardening and the other is known as active hardening. Let’s analyse, these two-hardening processes in detail to have a better understanding.

If you decide to harden your application, then you have to go through two primary levels. Once is known as basic hardening application and the other is known as comprehensive hardening or shielding.

Basic hardening is done in for low value application that does not involve the use of sensitive information. On the other hand shielding is done for application that involve sensitive information or high value application.

Bottom line

Security is an ongoing threat and hardening of application helps to minimize the issue. Going through the above information carefully will let you know, why hardening of application comes as a necessity.
Managing Risk in Alpine Climbing and… Product?
By: Jamie Mccroskery
Tags: Product Management, Climbing, Technology, Risk

These days I have the luxury of spending a little more time planning outdoor adventures, this time a month long alpine climbing circuit in the American Alps outside Seattle this summer. Yes, very exciting!

As I plan these trips, it occurred to me that for years now I’ve been learning about my day job as a PM from a very-not-day-job-place — Alpine Climbing.

One of those lessons is about the role of risk in decision making — from deciding on the way in a total white out to determining a… go-to-market strategy?

What is “risk” anyway? ‘A situation involving exposure to danger’ (Thanks, OED)

The relationship of climbing and risk isn’t new — even just being on a mountain is a situation, and harsh environments by definition involve exposure to danger. It’s a big reason why I can’t watch Alex Honnold in Free Solo without my palms starting to sweat, even when I know I’m safely planted on a couch and not on a portaledge suspended thousands of feet in the air.

I’ve personally found myself in situations that make my friends (those who are willing to say something at least) go “but isn’t that risky?” Exhibit A below: being at the the top of knife edge ridge with a 3k ft drop on either side, during an unexpected snowy whiteout (in July!), and in rock shoes that are not happy in snow. Yikes...

There’s No Way to Know Until You Go

Tags: Life, Creativity, Risk, Work, Travel

If you can’t stop thinking about:

that job

that love interest

going somewhere you’ve never been

starting something, anything.

By all means, do your due diligence. Hunt down every fact, research and double-check facts and stories. Speak with others who were there, are there, can offer a perspective.

Prepare. Be smart. Have a plan and a back-up plan and a back-up plan for the back-up plan if that’s what you need.

Ask for advice. Seek out experts and advisers who are either impartial or neutral to you and what you want to know.

Learn as much as you can — as wide and deep and far as you want to go.

But don’t confuse anticipation, preparation, imagining for the actual doing.

There is no way to know without doing. What they saw, felt, learned may not align with your experience.

You’re different individuals at different points of time, coming at this adventure from different life experiences, dreams, and expectations.

Stay open.

Live your own experience. Learn your own lessons.

Some day when someone asks you about the adventure, share what you experienced, learned, wish you did differently. Ask them smart questions. Wish them well — and ask them to pay it forward when it’s time to share their own adventure stories.
“Don’t Run”, can Singapore continue its phenomenal success….

“Don’t Run”, can Singapore continue its phenomenal success….

Now before I start, I’m not going to say “don’t get me wrong, I truly love this country and consider it my home”, as many Singaporean expatriates may begin such a prose. I feel my 11 years here illustrates my affection for the country.

As with all places one stays in for a long period of time, things annoy you, and one of these “things” became very apparent approximately 7 years ago as my oldest son (yes, Singaporean son) was around 2 years old and his grandmother repeated the phrase “don’t run” or “don’t run, don’t run”. As with many things that annoy or gain your attention (I think I’ve seen more Honda Civics in Singapore in the last 6 months than I’ve seen in the last 42 years) I started to hear this phrase more often, and not just amongst the hard working and risk taking Pioneer generation, but also amongst their children! I began to scratch my head with confusion; how on earth can a generation who have propelled this country to one of the most successful on earth, essentially be telling the younger generation not to take unnecessary risks……..

A strange saying which I won’t try to dissect although I do implore Singapore society that if you want this country to continue its phenomenal success, please let your children run, let them run fast, let them fall, and ask them to get up quickly by themselves, as this will ensure the continued success of this country for many generations to come.

There’s a Beast in Every Man

There’s a Beast in Every Man

Over the years, there have been different myths about the existence of werewolves—men and women who have the abilities to switch between the appearance of a wolf and that of a human, some of these myths were created for various reason, but they occupied my mind as a kid growing up.

Watching Harry Potter as a budding teenager occupied my mind with the various events happening in the movie, and as a kid that has a penchant for the mysterious, I was always glued to the TV or listening to "Ikú Alágbára" on radio— a program dedicated to bringing the unbelievable feats of the founding Fathers of some Yoruba tribes. My Favorite was a man that could always turn to a snake, a cobra to be precise.

Some of these stories I can’t recall quite well, but I know this man was said to turn into a large snake that could curl a whole building with some part of its length still available for more curling, he had to enter into an earthen pot of concoctions to turn back into a human being.

I was always on the edge of my seat listening to such stories but they had some semblance with what I’ve watched in the case of Harry Potter’s Professor Lupin who turned to a werewolf every full moon. It gave me a theory that I have come to believe that there’s a beast in every man, and this is not in the literal sense. I believe there’s a part of us, of every human that we consciously tame and keep at bay. First on this list is Anger.

For some anger is the first, the last, and the only beast they tame. This is true for me because like professor Lupin I can control the impulses once I get angry, so I try very much to keep it at bay because that’s the only way I can be productive. There can be other types of beasts according to the individual, greed, selfishness, fear, promiscuity, I can just say anything you can’t control is your beast, but Anger would always be present, it is that ultimate beast everyone tames, and those that couldn’t, had to suffer for it.

Zinedine Zidane headbutting an opponent and then seeing the red card in the final of the 2006 FIFA world cup, A Nigerian musical artist slapping a twitter influencer, these are cases where the beast broke from its prison. When you look deep into your memories you can find at least one episode when the beast came out or almost came out.

Anger Issues

(Vs. 1)

You ever wake up angry and don’t even really know why?

Attempt to change your attitude but your mind won’t comply!

And every time you try to pray it only amplifies,

Trying to identify the mood that can’t be classified?

You try to clarify your feelings but your mystified,

Justifiably flustered as you try to nullify,

Your misapplied emotion now it’s only magnified,

Verifying your anger, Satan’s plan exemplified!

This the way that I used to awaken all the time,

Unaware of the reason my temper can’t be defined!

Emotions evoking mentalities and states of mind,

I wasn’t controlling, the devil was the mastermind,

Of my disposition, my temperament was in decline,

Inclined to medicate myself and claiming I was fine!

Combining that with my agitation I felt confined,

I needed Divine Intervention to be redefined!

(HOOK)

I’ve got an issue with my anger that I can’t control,

I feel like I’ve had it since I was only five years old!

Composure corroding, exploding, easily provoked,

Overflowing with emotions, feel like I might explode!

Alone my indignation’s threatening to overflow,

Animosity has a lock on me, in overload!

But the real issue is Spiritual and I must expose,

The source of my fury or have another episode!

(Vs. 2)

It started causing me problems I couldn’t circumvent,

Attaching me to things I didn’t want to represent!

Tormenting my present with discontent that won’t relent,

Regretting felonies pursued by nagging evidence!

And every attempt that I made meant another event,

Preventing transition and trampling my betterment!

Reinvention was tenuous, pain was continuous,

Because every time that I failed it felt ridiculous!

How could I ever progress unless I could understand,

That I was holding the key to the lock within my hand!

My Issues with Anger were like stretching a rubber band,

Attached to my neck, I snap off and my pain will expand!

I hurt myself more than I was hurting anyone else,

I knew it was time to put Anger Issues on the shelf!

That’s when I gave it up to Jesus, asking Him to Help,

Unclenching my fists and made a decision for my health!

(HOOK)

I had an issue with anger that I couldn’t control,

Manipulated by Satan, it was taking a tole!

Composure corroding, exploding, easily provoked,

Overflowing with emotions, felt like I might explode!

Alone with my indignation, it was truly a load,

Animosity had a lock on me, choking my soul!

But the real issue is Spiritual and I must expose,

The enemy within me, canceling the episode!

“A Heart Filled with Rage” Thoughts on Anger (Kingston’s Journey #50)
By: Kingston Lim
Tags: Anger, Personal Development, Journey, Personal Growth, Rage

I trained Muay Thai for a long time, nearly a year. Some of the trainers were good, one in particular didn’t care for. I remember one in particular took particular liking in tormenting me. Let me explain, in Muay Thai, 3 of the largest components are:

Clinching (Grappling/Kneeing Techniques) Pad Work Sparring (Practice fighting)

Without too much detail, ‘P’ didn’t seem interested in teaching me his country’s art when it was his turn to be my trainer. He seemed more interested in hurting me, throwing me down and not letting me get back up. These trainers have been at their craft for years while I was new to the country & culture to put things in context. This treatment would be all well and good if it was the same for everyone. It wasn’t though, based on my observation, it only seemed to be me.

So when I wake up the next morning all banged up but still have classes to teach… I was angry & I lost sleep the night before thinking and replaying these experiences. In retrospect, I think I understood now why my heart was filled with rage at the time.

“P’s” Muay Thai was at a high level to a layman’s eyes and mine wasn’t. So when he hit me with cheap shots during pad work or drove me against the ropes & kept me there, I couldn’t do anything about it. That’s where anger comes from, a sense of helplessness. Someone or something has pinned you down & you can’t do a damn thing about it. Just like how a child throws a tantrum when things don’t go his way.

So, what do you do instead? You’ve recognized the problem, you’ve gotten angry because of a feeling of helplessness. Now its time to find a way around, through over or under the problem. It’s, “well shoot I’m not getting my way, what can I do about it?”

For me, I would never engage ‘P’ on his terms. The odds would be stacked against me. It was as simple as telling the guys there I didn’t want nothing to do with ‘P.’ Once I let them know there was a problem, that was the last time I had to deal with him. It was as simple as that. I only wish I had figured it out earlier.

Anger Wisdom, Part II: Anger Insight
By: Deborah Cox
Tags: BlackLivesMatter, Angerwisdom, Anger

What IS Anger?

People yelling at each other



Beer cans smashed on tables



Fistfights



When you think of anger, what immediately comes to mind? Insight? I doubt it. Chairs thrown through windows? People out of control? Someone getting shot in the face? Obscenities screamed? We often get those scary pictures of anger. So we shrink away from it. We miss out on anger wisdom and insight.



None of these scary pictures is actually anger. But most people, including most mental health professionals and journalists, misunderstand anger insight.



Anger happens privately, in the body, like a reflex, in response to a threat or insult to our well-being. Anger also happens when we observe others being hurt. It may only last an instant, but anger brings relaxation (yes, a release of tension) in the muscles of the body and a mental clarity about the facts. Anger allows a certain kind of knowledge; blinders come off for a bit, and we see details we’d not seen before. We get a flash of insight.



But notice, all these aspects of anger take place inside the person who is experiencing the emotion. If you aren’t observing closely, you might miss them altogether. Yet we all experience this flash: anger is universal.

It's Monday Motivation guys!!!

Happy week ahead...

Stress and anger are so bad for our well being and overall health.

We will be looking at the effects of anger on our health and how we can manage anger.

According to American psychological Association, Anger is an emotion characterized by antagonism toward someone or something you feel has deliberately done you wrong. Though anger can be a good thing by letting you express negative or motivate you to find solutions to problems, mismanagement can lead to a lot of problems.

Some Effects of Anger on the health include:

1. Headache

2. Digestion problems

3. Abdominal pain

4. Insomnia

5. Depression

6. High blood pressure

7. Heart attack

Is it possible for some organs to be affected by Anger?😳😳😳

Lets find out...

According to Research, Anger has been related to the LIVER, HEART AND LUNGS.

WOW!!!

So, instead of getting angry and letting it take control of you, manage it well.

HOW TO MANAGE ANGER

1. Think before you speak

2. Get some exercise

3. Take a timeout

4. Dont hold a grudge

5. Use humor to release tension

It's also important to note that Dopamine-building foods such as fish, poultry, eggs, leafy-greens help a lot in anger management.....

What is Dopamine?

This is a neurotransmitter. The body makes it and our nervous system uses it to send messages between nerve cells. This chemical plays a role in how we feel pleasure. It's a big part of our unique human ability to think and plan.

Origins

If you asked my coworkers or my friend’s these days to describe me they would probably use a lot of positive words: helpful, cheerful, kind, giving, a good friend… and I’d agree — I am all of those things and many, many more.

But that wasn’t always the case unfortunately.

When I was younger I was a mean person. I was mean to strangers, to my family, to my friends, and to myself. I was angry. I didn’t think that the world was a happy place and I didn’t feel any guilt reminding people just how shitty life was. I didn’t think I was being mean to anyone, I was simply being a realist and I was bringing them out of their fairy-tale land and back to reality. To my reality. The reality that told me that life was shit and that happiness was a lie sold to us in storybooks growing up.

Like many other meanies, the deep-seated anger that I felt towards life and myself was the catalyst for a lot of the pain I caused. Dishing out to others what I had felt the world had unfairly dished out to me.

And I will admit — being mean felt good. It felt powerful and strong. I felt like I knew more than those happy little idiots. I knew the truth about life and I wasn’t going to be caught off guard.

But thankfully I learnt over the years that choosing kindness is real strength.

It has been a long road to get where I am. And I still struggle often with thoughts of negativity and judgment. But I’m inviting you to join me in self-knowing, self-acceptance, self-love, and the journey to choosing kindness.
