Causes of Conflict
Emotional Hot Buttons
It can be challenging dealing with emotional hot buttons, but there are several ways to manage them effectively.
First, identify your hot buttons by being aware of situations that make you upset or angry.
Second, calm your emotions with deep breathing or counting to ten when you feel highly emotional.
Third, talk about your feelings with a trusted friend, teacher, or parent; sharing your emotions can help you feel understood and less alone. Try to always speak from your own perspective. Do this by using “I” statements, like “I feel upset when…” to express how you feel.
Fourth, stay active through sports or hobbies to release built-up stress.
Fifth, keep a journal to write about your feelings, which can help you understand and manage them better.
These strategies can help you handle emotional hot buttons in a healthy way and improve your overall well-being.

Mastering Impulse Control
What are Impulses?
What are Impulses?
It is common to feel impulses when in a class or doing school work. Our mind may want to think about friends or last night's football game. Our body may want to move and do something else. Everyone experiences these kinds of impulses.
Please find the notebook you decided would be your impulse journal. Please take a few moments to think back to the last time you had to work on your academics. Did your mind wander? Did your body want to move? Please write a paragraph about these experiences in your Impulse Control Journal. Then please write about what you did when you experienced these impulses? Did you continue with your school work? Did you do something else?

Power of Forgiveness
Making the choice to forgive
Choosing Forgiveness
Choosing to forgive someone is difficult. Often, we think about forgiveness after we feel justice - when the person who wronged us has ‘paid their dues’. But this is not the best way to choose forgiveness.
We can choose forgiveness without even speaking to someone about the issue. It is a choice we make, for ourselves. To choose forgiveness, try these simple tips.
-
Take deep breaths to feel calmer. Then, practice gratitude. By practicing gratitude, you see things in a more positive light.
-
Show empathy. Think about the other person. What is happening in their life? Did something else cause them to act in this way or wrong you?
-
Focus on the good qualities this person has. What positive experiences have you had with them in the past?
-
Consider how NOT forgiving them is affecting you. Is it causing you stress? Worry? Irritation? Could choosing to forgive them HELP you?
