Controlling Emotions is easy now!

I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions, I want to use them to enjoy them and dominate them.

A healthy mind makes a healthy body. Our emotional status dictates our thoughts and vice-a-versa. Often our feelings undergo a rhythmic pendulum motion of ultimate rage to perturbed euphoria. Every emotion that goes out of human control and social order causes figment of stress in various facets of life.

Regulating one’s emotions is far different from stopping them. Here, dear readers, we are not asking to inhibit the flow of true emotions, neither are we asking you to mask it from others. Negative emotions such as anger, jealousy, and obsession tend to rupture relationships and self -confidence.

Gathered from some specialists, here are 3 easy ways to rescue yourself from stormy situations:

ü Escapism

When in a conversation you realise that this is the zenith of all ifs and buts, that is, you are unable to reach a sensible and logical conclusion, then the best way is to leave that area of conversation, just stop answering and consider it later. Usually scientists believe during extreme emotions our mind is alerted to take some actions, the alerts are in quick successions which confuse the senses, so the body and mind are unable to coordinate and ends up making a blunder.

ü Deep Breathing

If for you escapism is not a great option, then pausing can help. Thinking for some time, taking a deep inhale and an exhale, relaxes the nervous system, which ends up making some right comments and remarks which are required in some conversations. Taking a stand and not to delay a debate is sometimes an intelligent option, or sometimes the only option, in those moments you must encourage yourself to take a deepbreathing techniques and continue by rethinking what exactly is your point and why do you think you are correct?

ü Learn to forgive…… even yourself

You must understand to validate your point according, to the general idea of  what is right, if you think you are even 20% wrong, then step ahead and say that 5 letter word, SORRY , yes there is no harm in it. Your dear Mr. Ego shall rest for some time, to make sure you give value to a relationship or the person, to make sure getting angry or making a scene out of a situation is not going to solve an issue in long run, the smartest idea is to apologise, even to yourself. Being guilty or regretful in a long run harms your self-confidence. So not just others, even you deserve forgiveness.
