Want to Get Rid of Resentment Once and For All? Start By Admitting You’re Still Bothered
That’s right. This can be hard, as it’s common to believe you’re shrewd and unshakable. But one of life’s incontrovertible facts is that you can do everything correctly and bad stuff happens. “Suppressing and pretending it isn’t there isn’t the answer,” says Alane K. Daugherty, co-founder of the Mind and Heart Lab at Cal Poly Pomona and author of Unstressed.
The next part is asking, “What’s really upsetting?” and understanding that it’s never the easy answer. It might appear that it’s being fired or lied to, and those can sting, but with some excavation, you might discover a deeper sore spot, like feeling unworthy or a fear of never measuring up. Once you get to the root of the problem you can begin the real work of ridding your resentment.
Here are a few more tips for how to let go of resentment once and for all.

Whether you’re sitting on the sideline of your kid’s game or tailgating with some friends in the cold, it’s nice to have a warm place to rest your cheeks. Fully charged, the 16x14-inch seat cranks at 130 degrees for about two hours when set to high. You get medium and low heat too, which means you can eke out about five hours at a still toasty 105 degrees. The 2 1/2-inch-thick foam cushion is wrapped in a water-resistant shell so morning dew on the bleachers won't be a problem, either.

What to Remember When Disciplining a Child with ADHD
Because ADHD children are typically emotionally hypersensitive and prone to volatile reactions, it’s natural for parents to worry that the type of discipline they might use with another child will only escalate the problem with a neurodiverse kid. Surprisingly, most experts advise sticking to your guns when it comes to correcting inappropriate behavior, regardless of whether or not your child has ADHD. Because of their hypersensitivity, however, it’s paramount that any corrections you give be done in a soft but firm voice: ADHD kids may react to even the slightest sound of anger. And as you should with all kids, focus on conveying that a particular behavior is inappropriate, not that your child is bad for doing it.
