Psychologists use the Process Model to identify intervention points in the emotion formation

process, which includes entering a situation, focusing on and evaluating it, and experiencing an

emotional response Each step offers a chance to change your emotions

Imagine you're invited to a party where your ex-darling will come You could avoid the party, you could come to the party but avoid your ex-darling, or shift your attention by playing games with friends If these do not succeed, you can temper your emotional response through sustainable methods like walking, deep breathing, or talking to a friend

Practicing these strategies helps Noticing and reflecting on your emotions is key Learning to accept all emotions can make it easier for you to adjust to them However, should you always strive to

be happy? It depends No emotion is naturally good or bad; they are either helpful or unhelpful based on the situation Feeling and expressing sadness can help you comfort a friend whose relatives have died, while forcing a smile to get through a minor annoyance is reasonable

In the end, everyone must find their own balance Chasing happiness can cause negative feelings like guilt and frustration Instead, try accepting your emotions and using techniques to foster hope for the future

The origin of the term "OK" is often traced back to the early 19th century, specifically the 1830s,

(39) it emerged as part of a trend for humorous abbreviations in the United States It is thought

to stand for "all correct," a misspelling of "all correct" that (40) popularity through Boston

newspapers and quickly caught on This trend reflected the period's fascination with clever wordplay However, (41) different origins have been proposed One prominent theory ties "OK" to

Martin Van Buren's 1840 presidential campaign, where his supporters created the "OK Club," referencing his nickname "Old Kinderhook" from his birthplace in Kinderhook, New York (42) some researchers also propose that "OK" might have earlier roots in various languages, such

Pete Watson looks like the biggest, sweetest teddy bear you ever saw It is only when he opens his mouth that you notice the missing front teeth Watson i s a three-time world champion wrestler turned author He was adored by fans because he was different: while other wrestlers were supreme athletes,

he was just a hulk who knew how to take a hit You could throw as many chairs as you liked at Pete Watson, you could smack him repeatedly, but he wouldn’t go down

After two autobiographies and a series of children’s stories, he has just written a brilliant first novel: a word of immense power and subtlety, likely to gain a wide readership At its simplest, it is about a boy and his dad getting together after a lifetime apart, though there is more to it than that Was

he inspired by anyone he knew? The father, he says, is based on guys he met on the road, wrestlers,

friends of his, who appeared to be leading exciting lives, but deep down were pretty miserable

Watson does not come from traditional wrestling stock He grew up in Long Island, New York His father was an athletic director with a PhD, his mother a physical education teacher with two master’s

degrees - one in literature, the other in Russian history He was a big boy, bullied for his size One day

his neighbour had a go at him, and for the first time Watson realised he could use his weight and size instead of feeling awkward about it It was a turning point

At college, he did a degree in communication studies Meanwhile, he was learning the ropes of

professional wrestling Did his parents try to dissuade him? ‘No They were just really insistent that I

finished college I am pretty sure they thought I’d get hurt and quit wrestling.’ But he didn’t

Nowadays, his time is dedicated to family and books - his next novel is about boy wrestlers living

on the same block, and he is also writing more children’s stories He does not think this life is so different from wrestling ‘Wrestling is all about characters,’ he says ‘So when my fans hear I’ve written a novel,

I don’t get the sense that they feel I’ve abandoned them.’
