1) I must not let my emotions overcome reason. n.b. this does not mean I should not express emotion..
2) If I do get upset over something, I must ask myself "is this something worth getting upset over?" i.e. Will anything improve by me getting upset?
3) If it is worth becoming upset about, I must gather all the pertinent facts before making a claim...

I never quite know whether this is a blog, a journal or something in between.. I guess ultimately it's all journaling
