How to Gain Control over Your Emotions

-Thread-

The one thing most people fail to do is take control over what they feel and how they react to it.

Yet, this to one ability is the fine line between successful people and the ones struggling to create something meaningful in their lives.

While some will tell you to put your ego aside, I will tell you that ignoring your inner voice will lead you to be influenced by whatever surrounds you.

Opening up to yourself and your conscious, emotional side is the only solution to take control over it.

Self-awareness.

While not reacting will allow you to avoid trouble,

Reacting on the other hand will help you point out and discover yourself to higher and deeper levels.

Doing so, allows you to not only experience yourself but also learn and tailor how you will react in the future.

If you suppress your emotions and bury them deep in your soul, you will create complexes and insecurities that will not be aware of.

Things that will shape and influence your behavior without you even realizing it.

Slippery slope.

People need to understand that there is no better teacher than life experiences itself.

Reality being that the human being is made of both emotional and logical sides.

Blending both will help you transcend.

Negating one of them will keep you limited.

Acknowledge your emotional side, learn how it works then train it.

There is no secret recipe.

There is only you and how you react to your environment.

And you can train yourself to be whatever you want to be.

Aim for regulation not suppression.

After all, intense emotions aren't necessarily bad, quite the opposite they define your most honest feelings.

The real you.

For as long as you will be able to know and forecast your reactions, you will be able to control them.

Some good ways to do so are to allow yourself space and accept that you, like anyone else can make mistakes

Don't be too hard on yourself in your quest of self awarenesses as there is nothing wrong with being whoever you are as long as you work on reaching your best version

Stop beating yourself out and get to know yourself instead

When your emotional reaction is over, reflect on it and realize:

-What you felt
-Why you felt it
-Why you reacted the way you did
-What shaped your readiness to react that way

Just like people judge others, judge yourself with detachment to blend your logical side with your emotional one.

Give yourself space and time to better yourself for no one will know you or understand you more than yourself.

Most importantly:

Love yourself.
