FIVE WAYS TO OVERCOME A BAD DAY

Bad days suck. They make everything that's going well in your life seem a little darker. They can make you cranky and carry around all sorts of negative energy, emotions and memories. When you are in the midst of a bad day, its hard to see beyond it. Your top priority when starting a bad day is to stop it as soon as possible. Here are 5 Ways to Overcome a Bad Day:

1. Drink

Before you get too excited, let's clarify. A cup of hot tea can often break a bad mood. Whether it's the great smell of Darjeeling or Mint tea, the calming effects of Chamomile tea, or the warmth of any cup of tea. Drinking a cup of tea can break a bad mood. Sit down, hold the cup and feel the warmth. As you sip it slowly, feel the warmth of the tea going all the way down to your stomach. When you drink tea in this way, it's like a mini meditation. Sit with your tea until the cup is done. Then begin your day anew.

2. Remember

Remember that this is only temporary. Remember that you've overcome this, and worse. Remember that you can have a fresh start to your day as soon as you decide to. Remember what Eleanor Roosevelt once said...."No one can make you feel bad without your permission." That can be extended to say that nothing can make you feel bad without your permission as well. Remember that tomorrow, this won't seem as bad, as permanent or as painful. Remember that you are loved and remember that you have to cheer up for those that love you so that you don't spread the negativity. Remember.

3. Keep It In Perspective

If something negative happens at the start of your day, it doesn't mean that you're entire day is going to go downhill. Don't make that choice. One bad thing happening is just one bad thing happening. You don't have to allow it to ruin your day. And just because one bad thing happened, it doesn't mean that everything else suddenly turned bad too. You don't have to allow your view of one thing being bad to make everything in your life seem down as well. You have to keep things in perspective. In fact, just doing a mental inventory of all the things in your life you have to be grateful for will help you feel better about the one or several things you are down about. Instead of allowing yourself to determine that something has ruined your day, choose to have a great day just to spite the negativity you've encountered. It takes the same energy and thought process to choose a great day as it does to choose a bad day. You just need a little more practice choosing the great day!

4. Choose to Change

It has been said that you can change your life by changing your attitude about it. If it can work for a lifetime, it can definitely work for 24 hours! This isn't easy though. You'll need to stop and remember that what you are going through is temporary. You'll need to realize that everything isn't bad...there is one or several things not going your way, but it won't stay that way. Consider that even if they remain as they are, you'll be ok anyway. You've always found a way in the past, so know that you'll find a way to make things better now.

5. Smile

The next time you are having a bad day, look in the mirror and smile as big as you can. You'll see immediately that your mood will lift just a little. Smile again, and again and you'll find yourself laughing at the face you approached the mirror with. It is just about impossible to remain in a bad mood while smiling. The physiology of smiling will impact your emotions and help you break your previous thought patterns. When in a bad mood, decide that you'll smile at every single person you pass for the rest of the day. By the end of the day, you'll forget you were in a bad mood at all.

The Origin of the Dagmay Cloth of the Mandaya Tribe


A long, long time ago, when people still wore poki, there lived a man called Tamisa, an only child. He was known for his strength and prowess in hunting. Members of the community always got a share of the game he brought home.
One day as he was returning home from hunting, Tamisa passed by a pal’lpag under a budbud tree. It was located near a little marshland, in the middle of which grew a patch of libug or batukan rice. On the pal’lpag stone, he found dagum (clothings) and a piece of cloth with intricate symbols and designs in reddish-brown color and figures of buwaya (crocodile) and inutaw-otaw (man).
As this was his hunting ground, Tamisa was very familiar with the place, and he knew there was really nobody living in the area. Enchanted and moved by the beauty and wonders of the design of the cloth, Tamisa decided to bring the cloth and the clothings as well as the libug or batukan rice to his home.
As soon as Tamisa left, rain started to fall and woke Tagamaling, the spirit or goddess of the art. Immediately, Tagamaling went to the pal’lpag stone to collect her belongings, including the rice. But she found nothing. So she cursed the thief.
Upon reaching home, Tamisa turned over the cloth and the rice to Ompo Tikunol’l, the oldest leader of the tribe. Ompo Tikunol’l called all the weavers of the community including the mother of Tamisa, an expert in the art, to copy the intricate designs. However, not one of the community experts in weaving could produce anything. It was certainly quite frustrating for the best weavers of the village for they could not copy the designs. Then, people started feeling like they were sick and could not move anymore.
Reflecting on the situation, Ompo Tikunol’l called on all the elders and together they decided to ask for forgiveness from the Tagamaling because they perceived that what was happening to their community was a bidu (curse) which needed cleansing through a ritual asking for forgiveness.
The community performed the Balilig, the highest healing ritual, to cure everyone and to implore the Tagamaling’s inspiration and permission to give them the wisdom and the skill to copy the design in the cloth. After the ritual, the bidu disappeared and Tagamaling revealed, through a dream of Tamisa’s mother, that she had forgiven them all.
Proof of this forgiveness was that the weavers could already copy the designs. From then on, Tagamaling would appear through dreams or through the wisdom of the head weaver of the clan for their particular batuk or clan design, which serves as their insignia.

CLASSROOM OBSERVATION GUIDELINES
By Maryellen Weimer, Ph.D., Editor
The Teaching Professor
Volume 22, Number 5, May 2008
A second edition of Nancy Chism's excellent source, Peer Review of Teaching, is out. In the opinion of this editor, it is the definitive resource on peer review. Besides providing excellent summaries of relevant research and translating those findings into concrete guidelines, the book is packed with resources including checklists, review questions, and instruments relevant to the assessment of multiple aspects of teaching from course materials to classroom instruction (be it in a lab, studio, clinical setting, or online) to advising to course and teaching portfolios. It's a book no teaching library should be without.
To illustrate, here's a condensed version of the seven "overall guidelines" she offers for classroom observations by peers.
1. "It cannot be assumed that peer reviewers are skilled classroom observers." Faculty need to be trained for the task. If they are, the reliability of their observations increases.
2. "A single classroom observation by one rater is not a reliable indicator of teaching quality." How many observations are needed? Some researchers recommend three; others, two different reviewers each doing two observations; still others, three or four reviewers observing between eight and ten of the instructor's classes.
3. Pre-observation information is needed to provide context for what to be observed. Observers need details about the course, the instructor, and the students.
4. When in class, the observation needs to be focused. Checklists are a great way of helping the observer look at specific aspects of the instruction. Questions and other more general guidelines can be used. Multiple examples are included in the book.
5. "The observer should try to be as unobtrusive as possible." This means the peer is an observer, not a participant in the class. Once the observer starts participating, the focus is not longer exclusively on observing the teaching and students' responses to it. Moreover, those observer contributions affect responses of both the teacher and the students.
6. Observing for a substantial amount of time is necessary. If the class is an hour long, peers should observe for the entire hour. It takes times for the instructor and the class to relax and move into teaching behaviors that are typical.
7. Notes, forms, or letters should be completed promptly after the observation. The information gleaned from being in the class remains fresh for a limited amount of time. Details become increasing difficult to remember when time lapses between observation and preparation of the feedback.

“It is the rooted instinct in men to admire what is better and more beautiful than themselves.”

MY BOYFRIEND LEFT ME QUOTES
My boyfriend left me for a guy. Then decided he still wanted me. He hurt me more times than I can count.
~ This is something that has happened to a lot of people

Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know love’s tragedies.
~ This is so true.

You never know what you have until you lose it, and once you lose it, you can never get it back.
~ This is not true and sometimes they do come back.

My heart was taken by you… broken by you… and now it is in pieces because of you.
~ Oh.. so sad to hear that.. Love can be such pain at times

Love is like falling down… in the end you’re left hurt, scarred, and with a memory of it forever.
~ You fall down in slow motion

You’re the one who broke my heart, you’re the reason my world fell apart, you’re the one who made me cry, yet I’m still in love with you and I don’t know why.
~ That is the travails of love my friend

A million words would not bring you back, I know because I’ve tried, neither would a million tears, I know I’ve cried.
~ This is so lovely…

Wanting him is hard to forget, loving him is hard to regret, losing him is hard to accept, but even with all the hurt I’ve felt, letting go is the most painful yet.
~ We can understand..

Sometimes the memories are worth the pain.
~ Oh yes.. so true

Sometime you just have to hold your head up high, blink away the tears and say good-bye.
~ This seem to the most intelligent choice.. We need to learn to move on

For a few minutes you made me feel as though I actually meant something to someone.
~ That is what hurts even more.

We are afraid to care to much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.
~ But we care nevertheless

People think it is holding on that makes you stronger, but sometimes it’s letting go.
~ Absolutely right

I made a choice to finally let go, because I can’t stand the pain, it’s time for my last tear to fall and smile again.
~ You made the right choice again…

I cried today… not because I miss you… or even wanted you… but because I realized I’m gonna be all right without you.
~ Oh Poor thing…

I wish he meant it when he kissed me cause then I could look back and see someone who loved me but I can only go back and see someone who used me.
~ Such a Pr***…

You always say you hate to see me hurt, and you hate to see me cry. So all those times that you hurt me, did you close your eyes?
~Maybe he was lying…

Sad isn’t it? How no matter what you do or say to me… when you come running back… when you need me again… I’ll be here… right here waiting for you, I’ll take you back… no questions asked. Sad isn’t it?
~ It really is sad, more so because it is so true

So… from now on… when you think of me… just remember that I could’ve been the best thing you ever had.
~ Hope he remembers that

You hurt me more then I deserve, how can you be so cruel? I love you more then you deserve, why am I such a fool?
~ We are all fools to have fallen in love in the first place

You asked me what was wrong, I smiled and said nothing, when you turned around and a tear came down and I whispered to myself… everything is.
~ This is so sad an so true..

You wonder why I don’t talk to you anymore and please believe me when I say it’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that everything I want to say I can’t tell you anymore.
~ You are doing the right thing

I don’t know which I would rather believe… that you never did care or that you eventually stopped.

Hold my hand, just one more time, so I can remind myself why it is that I can’t get over you.

I think its time I let you go… and that is hard to do because part of me will be in love with you for the rest of my life.

While I was holding on all you did was let go.

Sometimes it’s better to be alone. No one can hurt you that way.

I just wonder how many people never get the one they want, but end up with the one they’re supposed to have.

The hardest thing about growing up is that you have to do what is right for you even if it means breaking someone’s heart. Including your own.

All I’m asking for is one night together. Just you and me. All alone. And if you can honestly say you don’t feel anything for me after that night, I will finally let you go.

Sometimes all you need is a broken heart to realize that something even better is right in front of our eyes, just waiting to be found.

No one can promise they’ll never hurt you because at one time or another, it will happen. The real promise is if the time you spend together will be worth the pain in the end.

The worst feeling in the world is knowing you’ve been used and lied to.

Maybe they are right. Maybe I did get my hopes up too high. Maybe I was in over my head. Maybe I am the stupid one for ever thinking that you loved me, but maybe, just maybe, I am tired of being alone.

Every time I see him all cool, calm and collected, I lose my breath, my heart starts pounding, and I am painfully aware that I am not over him and he is over me.

I don’t know which is worse, being the one with the broken heart or being the person that breaks the hearts.

It’s not that we aren’t meant to be together, I think that we’re just not ready for forever.

You always have an out. An exit strategy to make sure you don’t get hurt. You always walk always. You walk away before they can walk away from you.

Today was just one of those days where everything I did reminded me of you and every song I heard somehow related to you. I hate days like today, because they remind me of the one thing I dont have.

There were reasons we met, reasons for the good times and reasons for the bad times, and most importantly a reason to end. We have more to learn, more to experience and more loving to do in this lifetime.

Somehow I know we’ll meet again, not quite sure where and not sure when, your in my heart so until then good-bye.

Broken heart again. Another lesson learned. Better know your friends. Or you will get burned.

This time it’s over I’m keeping my heart, I’m gonna be strong and not fall apart… it’ll get better, I’ll no longer cry… in a couple of weeks I won’t want to die, I won’t want to go back. I’ll be able to sleep, it won’t hurt so bad and it won’t hurt so deep!

I would like to thank you, for showing me a part of myself that I have never seen. Yeah we were young and dumb, but it still was fun and I guess these things just tend to fall apart and I hope you feel the same.

Sometimes we must get hurt in order to grow; we must fail in order to know. Sometimes our vision only clears after our eyes are washed away with tears.

Walk home drowning these memories in the rain biting my lip to transfer this pain, your gone and I’m still going through withdrawals, next time around I’ll build a stronger wall.
