Do you control your emotions or do they control you?
So, the short answer is no, you cannot “control” your emotions. But if you follow the strategies to accept your emotions as they come, you will find that you do not have to let your emotions control you.
What is the first step to controlling your emotions?
The first step is to simply give a name to your emotion. Are you feeling nervous? Depressed? Embarrassed? Increase your emotional vocabulary by familiarizing yourself with the six basic human emotions: happiness, sadness, fear, anger, disgust, and surprise.
Why do we manage our own emotions and that of others?
Our emotions allow us to understand, connect, and communicate with others and ourselves. Emotions let us know when we need to support a friend, fight for ourselves, or leave a situation. Feeling our emotions is part of survival and can lead to living a more fulfilled life.
How do you control your emotions in a relationship?
To achieve this sense of control, use this six-step process: Identify and accept your emotion (anger, fear, frustration, shyness, etc.) Identify your self-talk. (“Here we go again; get to the point, Fran!”) Identify your physical responses (hot, red face, shaking, etc.) Affirm your rights.
How do you deal with emotions that get out of hand?
Your emotions may get out of hand faster than you can respond with your wise mind. You can retool existing emotional reactions to respond more productively through practice, including more quickly getting your attention. Physical recovery techniques will help you de-escalate from adrenaline or other physical responses.
How do you gain control over your emotional experience?
This, therefore, means that the moment you transform or change your interpretation of the situation is the moment you gain control over your emotional experience. If you ever experience the emotion of discomfort it’s important to first determine what it is that you are doing, and secondly how exactly you are interpreting your experience of reality.
How can I stop being so emotional all the time?
Slowing down and paying attention to your breath won’t make the emotions go away (and remember, that’s not the goal). Still, deep breathing exercises can help you ground yourself and take a step back from the first intense flash of emotion and any extreme reaction you want to avoid. Breathe in slowly.
