Psychology is a funny thing!
Why? Just think about it what do you know about Psychology weather you're a student, graduate, someone who has heard of it somewhere or just interested in the subject.
Ask yourself what do you realy know about it?
For me, my experience of studying it and my knowledge after, to be honest hasnt really changed... I am still confused!
OK where am I headed with this... to be honest I have been struggling with where I am headed and how am I to get there... Psychology as a degree is a funny thing, you cant really get far with it.
As with many degrees the current climate for graduates dont look so promising, even if you have a first class degree (which by the way I dont have). Things will still be hard....or do they have to be?
Psychology, does it have a place in the world when ts just as degree level?... JUST at undergraduate degree level? It doesnt sound like much to me now, now after around 4 years after graduation, I look back and think how far have I really come with my degree. Can I really look myself in the mirror, can I really look at my CV and say, "yes doing that degree was worth it"?
In fact can YOU?
Can you justify those 3 or 4 years at university all that money spent, and say... "Yes those years were worth it"...
If you can or if you cant... tell me how you have come to where you are...
How succesful are you... do you think?
How has it changed you?
More importantly as I think about mine...what is your next step?

Anger Management - 'An Islamic Approach'
Anger Management

Anger is a powerful emotion. It can be used either in productive or counter-productive ways. It can lengthen or shorten our lives. Anger is a natural human emotion that everyone experiences at one time or another.
Examples of common factors that can make people angry are:
• Losing someone you love (grief)
• Sexual frustration
• Being tired, hungry or in pain
• Physical withdrawal from certain medicines or drugs
• Conditions, like pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS)
Anger management is a form of counselling to help you cope with any angry feelings you may have that affect your health, work, social behaviour or personal relationships. This course on 'Anger Management' shall focus on psycho – spiritual approaches to anger with the Islamic theoretical aspect using Imam al-Ghazali's ‘Diagnosis of Anger’ and others, and practical steps in dealing with anger.
Special guest speaker includes Cici Collins [BAAM], a consultant dealing with anger.
The Prophet [s] said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one who controls himself while in anger." [Al-Bukhari]
Who should attend this course:
• Any person suffering from anger and rage
• Front-line employees/staff
• Parents who have difficulty dealing with their angry children
• Anyone who knows of someone suffering from anger issues

Future Focussed plus dua!
Assalamu alaykum!
I just wanted to share this with you, a great future focussed hadith and dua which was e-mailed to me...
((مَا مِنْ فَجْرِ يَوْمٍ يَنْشَقُّ إلاَّ وَيُنَادِي مَلَكَان, يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ أنَا يَوْمٌ جَدِيْدٌ, وَعَلي عَمَلِكَ شَهِيْدٌ, فَتَزَوَّدْ مِنِّي فَإنِّي لا أعُوْدُ إلى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَة))
“Not a single dawn breaks out without two angels calling out: ‘Oh Son of Adam, I am a new day and I witness your actions, so make the best out of me because I will never come back till the Day of Judgement’” (Al Ma’thur of the Prophet (saw))
Subhanallah, what better drive is that then that! To be reminded that today has gone, another sun has set on a day which we can never bring back. If we were able to reply this day what would we be proud of…? What would we change…?
Tomorrow, Alhamdulilah is another day; I pray Allah gives us the life to live to see that day, so we can implement anything we learnt form today… Ensure our actions are the best; our outcome is the finest, so that our judgment is successful.
"اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ يَوْمَنَا حَيرًا مِنْ أمْسِنَا وَجْعَلَ غَدَنَا خَيْرًا مِنْ يَوْمِنَا"
“O! Allah, make our today better than our yesterday, and make our tomorrow better than today”
So if one of your action points was to learn a new dua... how’s this one to learn? :)
Ma'salam
