My advice to people trying to master emotions:
1. Don’t ignore unpleasant or exciting emotions.
2. Understand their cause and source.
3. Decide if you want it to overtake you.

The goal is not to control our emotions, but to become so in touch with our emotions that we don't let them control our lives and instead influence our lives. to feel and still make logical, unbias, decisions about the world(s) around us.

The thing is, you won't ever think of these tips when you get mad

Mastering one's emotions is like being calm in the eye of the storm.

Technically this isn’t mastering your emotions at all. It’s broadening your horizons. It’s not the same. Emotional mastery is acting in spite of what you feel. Like feeling fear but not being ruled by it.

Something I learnt in CBT therapy really helped me in this.

It is not events that trigger emotional responses in me, but my interpretations of these events that cause these emotions.

One cannot change ones emotions because we are our emotions. But with that being said we do not have to act on everything and we can let it flow through us like water...

Emotional intelligence has changed my life. For those who want to master their emotions:
1. Observe your emotions
2. Analyse what causes them
3. Take 10 deep breaths before you react to something that makes you angry

I'm overly sensitive on every single little thing people said to me and thus I get hurt so easily and also angry easily. I wish to toughen up my emotion to at least feels nothing at all.

Different people have different ways. For me it’s best to follow based on this quote “Don’t try to control your emotion but don’t let your emotion control you”

This really opened my mind, in a humiliating way. I realized that as much as i claim to see everyone as equals, the same being. I judge them, not intentionally... but i do. I need to stop cringing away from things i dont want to hear. Just to realize that everyone has a story, and i wasnt around for most of it... Thank you for the teaching. I will make use of this, and try to just be there for others, and listen. Understand. and feel grateful for doing so in my own heart.

As someone who overcame anger and short temper, I'd say the key to master emotions is to identify them first. Identifying what you're feeling gives you the time to decide before you take action. I developed this by meditating and being conscious and concentrating on the present, most of the time. Hope this helps someone :)

For me it's
1.Accepting what is the cost
2.Accepting what will happen
3.Then react

[clairedeleon]

Love this video! 1. acceptance of own feelings, 2. acknowledge own perception, 3. experience new perceptions
