New to this blog? Welcome. Emotional Fitness Training (EFT) provides self help material to improve the ability to manage mad, bad, or sad feelings. We all need to work at strengthening our ability to manage our negative feelings. The Pages provide basic information about emotional fitness and introduce the post categories or topics. Reading them first works best.
I am a licensed therapist ; however, EFT is not therapy; EFT provides educational material, self help exercises, and tools. More may be needed and that may mean therapy of one sort or another. Anyone considering therapy needs to become an educated consumer which is why some of my posts provide therapy related information.
WARNING FOR THOSE BOTHERED BY GRAMMATICAL IMPERFECTIONS: I am learning disabled. Although spell check helps keep me on track, typos and other errors do get through. This may lead to frustration in some. If such errors leave you irritated, be kind to yourself and stop reading. Avoiding angst when it can be avoided helps you deal with angst that cannot be avoided.

Thought this a great addition to the earlier post. It is the work of students from the Coordinated Program in Dietetics, Class of 2006 working in 2oo4 , under the supervision of Dr. Marcia Magnus. The book itself was put together by the Department of Dietetics and Nutrition in coordination with the University Park Wellness Center, and edited by Dr. Marcia Magnus. Good work and useful information.
The Healthy Hurricane/Disaster Cookbook.

Thinking ahead is part of emotional intelligence and staying emotionally fit. This is about Hurricane Earl, but good advice for dealing with emergencies in general. Here are five tips from the ChristianScience Monitor:
- Keep in informed.
- Have a personalized emergency kit.
- Protect your home.
- Have alternative shelter
- Have an emergency plan.
See the link for more details.
As a WOW, I have lived through multiple “natural disasters.” A number of hurricanes blew through my home town back in the 50′s. Also endured hiding under my desk in school because an Atomic Bomb was feared. Blizzards hit Pennsylvania then too and not that I live in Colorado are what most likely will hole me up again. Then there was 911 and its aftermath when we ratcheted up our emergency plans, with the biggest problem what to do with Whisper if I was downtown and David at home. Decided David and Whisper should head for the hills and as I had Crisis Team license and training to work in a an attack, I would go where I could help. We would eventually reconnect at Zach’s. Nothing happened, the people of Katrina weren’t so lucky. Do you have a true disaster plan? It is important.
