Pay attention to your emotions, they become thoughts. Pay attention to your thoughts, they become your habits. Pay attention to your habits, they become your life.!

Meditating in the morning allows for the “space” before responding to events in your day to feel more natural.

Every time we allow someone to move us with anger, we teach them to be angry.

To master your breath, to master your thoughts, to master your mind, to master your emotions...is a journey like no other !! I’m literally building a YouTube channel and talk show series designed around this so this video is noteworthy !!

Heyy. I hope this helps someone.

1. REINTERPRET YOUR PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS - acknowledge and rethink the physical changes in your body. Realize that your body is just excited (not scared, stressed, nervous, etc.). If you can do that, you'll gain more confidence and boost the positive, your motivation will grow, and you will gain control over your performance and acts.

2. RECOGNIZE YOUR SPECTRUM - understand the broad spectrum of emotions, know and understand your emotional vocabulary - the language you describe how you feel. Be specific with your emotions and ask yourself why are you feeling them at which point, and what caused you to feel that way?
- emotional regulation correlates with emotional distinction (whatever that means) - people who recognize specific emotions can regulate those emotions [okay, got it!]

What happens when you regulate your emotions:
- you may control the negative feelings that cause you pain
- you may encourage the positive feelings that leave you inspired
! Take the time to explore your feelings and learn some new words along the way. You may discover feelings you never knew existed.

3. DIVERSIFY YOUR EXPERIENCES - emotional intelligence comes from experience; they widen your perspective they teach you new things by exposing you to the unknown.

How can you make new experiences to make your emotional perspective wider:

1. travel the world;
2. read books
3. watch movies
4. learn new languages
5. try new foods
and so much more

How exactly does your experience impact your emotional intelligence:

- experience creates understanding and understanding creates EMPATHY:
* you learn why others think the way they do;
* you get a better understanding of different people and personalities;
* empathy lies at the heart of emotional intelligence
! BUT you need perspective to understand others without perspective your understanding will always be limited!

- experience also defuses RUMUNATION or OVERTHINKING:
* experiences especially those in nature impact your mental state:
? HOW? by reducing negative activity in the brain - these experiences create a positive state of mind allowing you to escape toxic patterns

! SO if you want to master your emotions have a new experience step outside of your comfort zone walk fearlessly into the unknown because there's a world out there waiting to be understood!

4. REINFORCE YOUR STANDARDS - if you have high standards for yourself, you should maintain those standards for the people in your life because people with high standards make the best leaders, they have clear expectations and bring out the best in other people.

- empower others
- stop bottling up your feelings
- take a more active and active role in your life
- you gain control over your emotions

5. LIMIT YOUR REACTIVITY - people with high emotional intelligence control their reactivity. When they're faced with a problem they don't respond right away they take some extra time to think and during that time their emotions settle down those flaring impulsive feelings dissipate, so they can think with a cool head. Because of this calculated pause emotionally intelligent people develop strong conflict resolution skills instead of creating conflict, they neutralize conflict, they mediate reasonable compromises, and help other people communicate

How do you respond to a conflict?
- your first emotion is often unproductive and impulsive [WRONG]

! SO if you want to develop emotional intelligence:

- control your reactivity;
- pause whenever your emotions get the best of you: in the moment you don't have to react - excuse yourself and take a break, give your emotions the chance to settle down and when you're calm and clear-headed you'll give a response that you can stand behind

! Not only will you avoid conflict but you'll develop better control over your emotions

"Most people doesn't want to criticize and upset other people" Nah, that's opposite to my experience.

Thank you TopThink! I really needed this video because I need to master my emotions in life rather than have wacky emotions and respond based on the first feeling I feel.
