Have you ever heard that emotions are bad? Many people answer it as ‘yes’. But it is not true. Emotions are the biggest driving force and are powerful. If their powers are used properly they have all the powers to transform the lives. Many of us are victims of negative emotions and are unable to find the way out.

Tips to Control Emotions

Today we will discuss 6 steps to master your emotions and that can help to achieve emotional intelligence.

STEP 1: Identify your feelings

This introspection and pausing over the emotion lowers the intensity of emotion immediately.

STEP 2: Believe your Feelings

We must acknowledge the emotion and believe that they support us. Usually, we start fighting with emotions and this increases the intensity of emotions more. Many of us surrender and succumb to the negative pressure of emotions and this lead to suffering. Acknowledging the emotion and trying to understand the positive message and support they provide is quite helpful.

STEP 3: Develop Your Curiosity

Ask :

What do I really want to feel?

How to practice the habit of understanding the feeling that actually persists?

How to create a solution and handle this right now?

What can I learn from this?

STEP 4: Be Confident

Get Confident and remember the earlier time when you have felt similar emotions and how you handled it. So now it is the time again to handle it. However if you really feel that it is the first time you are encountering this emotion then acknowledging the emotion and paying attention over it helps you to get the structure of emotion. Be confident that you can handle this now in a positive manner.

STEP 5: Generate Creative Ideas

Be Creative and try to find out and write 3 to 5 ways by which you can handle the emotion. Your mind will initially resist to find out the ways out. But it is the time to persist and creative and force your mind to find out ways to handle this now. Your solutions may look weird to you initially but re-looking into it will definitely provide you insights.

STEP 6: Take Action

Taking the action is very important and you must do it even if your mind tells you otherwise. It is always recommended that we should rehearse the action in our mind 3 to 4 times. It helps in fast and effective execution. Dr. Arvinder Singh has launched a national award winning program with the name of EmotioHeights that can help you to get emotional intelligence.
