Hello everyone, it’s @essiens. It really feels great to be here. Today I wanna speak on the topic “Controlling Your Emotions”.
However, emotions has to do the feelings. So controlling your emotions simply means controlling your feelings. Actually, there are lots of people out there who can’t control their emotions, they are very bad in getting angry. A person who can’t control his/her emotions is a person who tends to behave childish, then a person who can control his/her emotions
Is being considered to be emotionally mature. So before I start writing on how to control your emotions, I’ll start by letting you know what emotion is.
Emotions are strong human feelings of love, fear, hatred and anger. Emotions are power, they affect the way you think and act. They can motivate you for both good and bad. At times, they may even seem to overwhelm you.
However, to become a mature and responsible adult you have to learn on how to control your emotions. Some experts feels that the ability to control emotions and deal with people is more valuable than intelligence. In any event the Bible places a high value on controlling one’s feelings.
People of all ages and backgrounds struggle with controlling their emotions. Actually, the struggle can be particularly challenging to the youths during their transition from adolescence to adulthood. Most teenager feels a jumble of crazy, beautiful, frightening, mixed-up emotions. A lot of people have several feelings at the same time about the same thing. One minute you may feel a particular way and a minute later you may find your self feeling the opposite way. As a young person you are inexperienced and as you encounter new situations and challenges for the first time, it is natural that you may feel insecure and perhaps overwhelmed.
To control your emotions, you have to learn to control your thoughts and do away with negative thoughts that can sap of the energy you need to take actions. Focus your attention on things that are serious and righteous. By so doing you can replace the positive in place of the negative ones.
Moreover, you may feel insecured with your inner mind saying “I’ll not be able to do it”. You can control this feeling by refusing to dwell on negative thoughts. Focus on learning to do the task competently. Do not dwell on your weaknesses, do not allow them to paralyze you and also prevent you from allowing yourself to make improvements. You can build your confidence by acknowledging your strength.
You can control your emotions by setting modest realistic goals and accepting your limitations and avoid comparing yourself with others.
Managing anger can be another difficult challenge. Anger prompts many young ones to say things that are hurtful and destructive. Though it’s normal to feel angry but remember the first murderer, CAIN. What did he do? When he became hot with great anger and he killed his brother.
When someone gets you upset, try to understand why the person behaved that way. Was the person acting impulsively or out of ignorance? Try asking yourself this questions before taking any necessary actions.
Always try to consider your choice of music and entertainment. Viewing violence, tends to stir anger and aggressive feelings. People watching violence films act aggressively. So it’s always necessary for us to make wise decisions when it comes to what you listen and watch.
The best way people control emotions is to develop close relationship with God. Don’t get anxious over things. Pour out your feelings and emotions to GOD and the peace of God that excels all thoughts will guard your heart and your mental power. With God’s help, you can learn to control your emotions.
