Being human we tend to feel deeply which is the reason humans are also known as emotional creatures. Emotions are incredibly powerful, and that’s why learning to mastering them is equally powerful. There are always some challenges to overcome in our lives and we are tempted to react to them emotionally. The way we react to these challenges influences everything we do.
Why there is a need of mastering emotions?
By mastering emotions, one can create enduring change in his life. Let’s see how. Emotions govern our sense of being. So, by mastering our emotions we can cultivate a sense of well-being, a sense of positivity by incorporating small doses of positive emotions like passion, love, gratitude, cheerfulness. We can set any stage (feeling good or bad) about ourselves by focussing on emotions whichever we want to feel.
In nurturing our relationship, emotional mastery helps to indicate appropriate emotion, thus supports a healthy relationship. If we are not master of our emotions we might react with inappropriate emotions. It’s like we needed to react with sadness but reacted with anger. We can damage our relationships and our lives by responding negatively to any emotion. Our emotional responses may affect people around us, which moulds our relationship with them for good or bad.
5 Steps to be master of your emotions
To lead an extraordinary life, we must need to master our emotions, not a slave to them. We can either react to events and let our emotions drive the consequences or preside our situations and decide how to respond. Nonetheless, to make this difference happen, there are five basic steps we need to take.
Before you read on I would like to announce that we have new release of all kinds of ‘discovering yourself books' to heal your trauma and free your heart.
1. Identify your feeling
The very first step while dealing with any emotion is to identify the emotion you are feeling. Ask yourself,
“What is it I’m feeling at the moment?”
“Am I feeling or just thinking about the feeling?”
Being aware of your feelings helps you to recognise your behaviour when you feel a particular feeling. You’ll able to know what type of person you become when encountering that particular feeling.
2. Accept it
The second step to master your emotions is to acknowledge your emotion you’re feeling right now. Mastering emotions doesn’t mean denying the feeling but accepting it as part of yourself. As I always say, “No emotion is wrong”. each emotion is there to teach you something important.
So, whether it feels good or bad, acknowledge it as the idea that a feeling can be wrong can be a great way to destroy communication with yourself and others. Watch video of Swami Mukunanda telling how to control and master your emotions in any situation
3. Know the Cause
While encountering an emotion, be curious to know what is it that causes this emotion. Be curious to know what this feeling is trying to tell you. Your feelings can teach you a lot about yourself if you let them.
Feelings never lie so be prepared to learn more about yourself whenever a feeling occurs as it will solve your current emotional pattern.
4. Let it go
Now that you know the cause of popping up that particular emotion, it’s time to take some action right away. Solve the problem and let that feeling go. And ensure not to get worried if this emotion comes up in future.
5. Practice
To Master anything you need practice, so in case of mastering emotions. Now that you have handled this emotion successfully, you have to practice it for every emotion you may encounter in future.
The more you practice handling your feelings, the easier and more habitual it will be to confront your desired behaviours. With practice, you will begin to experience a new reality. You will act, not react. You will be the master of not only emotions but your behaviour too. For understanding more about emotional control, you can read this book by Jonathan S.
