Have you ever shouted at someone without any firm reason and regretted it afterward? This is because your emotions possess control over you.
Emotions are basically what you feel and how do you respond to certain external or internal happenings. Everything that you feel like being upset, depressed, tensed, confused, angry, etc; all these feelings are emotions.
Emotions play a major role in our life. We have an emotion that's why we are living beings.
• Step 1: Awareness: We need to recognize our emotions. Sometimes we don't have any idea of what we are feeling and can respond wrongly at that moment. You need to be aware of whatever you are feeling in order to have some kind of clarity. Please don't stick at it, try to overcome and move on.
• Step 2: Find out the reason: try to search out why you are feeling such things. Ask yourself what is wrong.
• Step 3: Now try to overcome: Try to find out the solution to that situation. Every situation has a positive and a negative side. Try considering the brighter side. Your mood will automatically transform.
• Step 4: lastly, react: The last step will be unconscious and automatic. The moment you reach out for a solution to your bad mood and you see at the brighter side, you'll automatically smile and feel better. You'll respond in a positive way.
Learning to own your emotions is not a piece of cake. It needs time. It needs mantel practice. But it is not impossible to have control over your emotions.
