Techniques to DeFunk

-


Have you ever hit that moment when every single thing is getting to you? 
Getting you upset? Angry? Annoyed? Sad? Flustered? Confused? Frustrated? 
Just getting you into a "negative headspace"?

Currently, this has been me for the past two days... well, possibly more but I am trying to face it head-on for the past two days and it is not working.

So, I am pulling out some of my old techniques and hoping that by the time I am done I will have the root of the problem nipped.

To be honest my first thought when I started to get in a "mood" was just to think that it is the stress of what I am trying to do right now with moving coming soon and my doctoral program. Slowly it became increasingly clear that it is not the case. Although, I have a lot going on that are all extremely stressful situations... I have to admit that I honestly am not bothered by any of those things. 

I had to step back and just think what is causing me to slowly not want to be involved in anything or deal with virtually anyone... 

The answer became increasingly clear that although there is the external force at play, there are several internal ones that I have to get under control before I lash out at the wrong person. 

And with that begins the old school calm-down techniques that I frequently use and a few that I have outgrown. These are not in any specific order, just the way they came to mind. 


Cry
Breathe 
Write
Pray and/or Meditate
Time with West
Listen to Music 
Sleep
Work Out
Eat
Disconnect
Reflect




Love ya,

Black Female Extravaganza 2011 March 19, 2011 at 7pm Phillips Center for the Performing Arts The women have been practicing and having rehearsals since last semester and it all came down to this finally show. They have just one chance to get each line right, execute each move with perfect precision, and hit every note on time. The room slowly fills up with friends and family waiting for the show to start. A voice comes over the speaker system, "Please stand for the Negro National Anthem".  The Black Female Extravaganza (BFE) singers take the stage and give everyone a sample of what they have been waiting for. The introduction had everyone hooked, with angelic voices singing in unison but still managing to maintain their own unique tones for the audience to cherish. These women blessed our ears through out the show with ease.  As the finale is close approaching the lovely ladies strut their stuff at the end of the show. After the show had com to a close fami

http://www.worthy-magazine.com/ It started with a thought that was simply turned into a dream.

After planning and sometimes hitting the drawing boards to gain perfection, the first issue of Worthy Magazine is now out and ready for you WORTHY readers.  The magazine is a perfect composition of all the contributors and something so much more. Written for the Worthy by the Worthy , who else could create a magazine that has so much to offer and from such a down-to-earth perspective?
