How to deal with emotional change
Being able to control your emotions depends in part on how much you ‘feed’ a particular emotion; on how much we focus on what we are afraid of, enraged by, or depressed about. But it’s more than that. Good ‘emotional intelligence’ requires we understand our own moods, recognizing when and why we are upset and having very real strategies in place to be able to influence the way that we feel.
So if you ever find yourself tossed around helplessly on a hysterical tumultuous sea of emotion and want some ways to at least adjust your sails, the better to steer your own course toward calmer waters, then read on, dear reader.
Tip 1: Control your emotions by looking ahead
Tip 2: Get to know yourself
Tip 3: Change your mood; do something different
Tip 4: Observe how others deal effectively with their emotions
Tip 5: Think before you act.
