The Emotion Challenge.

According to Peter Salovey and John Mayer’s Theory of Emotions, if we are able to monitor our own emotions, we will love happily,

“When I am angry, like super angry, I’ll shout, or I’ll just let it out through my tears.Likewise when I am sad. When I am happy, I’ll share it of course, to lighten up others and also myself. When I am excited I either shout or just shut up. When I am disgusted, I’ll make face. These are just some of my techniques to manage my emotions.”

Here are the other tips. 

Don't react right away. Reacting immediately to emotional triggers can be an immense mistake. ...

Ask for divine guidance. ...

Find a healthy outlet. ...

See the bigger picture. ...

Replace your thoughts. ...

Forgive your emotional triggers.

Live a happy life.

“The Emotion Challenge”

It is a must that one must know how to manage their emotions because if they do not then it may lead to possible breakdowns and to a level of inappropriateness.

Emotion, as defined by the online Merriam-Webster dictionary,  is a conscious mental reaction (as anger or fear) subjectively experienced as strong feeling usually directed toward a specific object and typically accompanied by physiological and behavioral changes in the body.

Our emotions ,significantly, are developed, affected or caused by the environment (internal and external), our cognitive; which consists of the past lessons that we learned and our experiences, and eventually our response or our reaction to such factors. These things then further develop the way we apply our personal methods of managing our emotions. Emotional management takes a lot of effort and discipline, as managing our own emotions can be hard and sometimes tricky. One must know the importance of balance; considering himself and considering others. Another reason as to why it is important to manage emotions is so that we can reduce the intensity of our emotions, which if we don’t it can cause one to think irrationally.

Hence, these are ways to manage emotions;

Keep Emotions in Check - this is important so as we will not be carried away with whatever emotion we are feeling. Being carried away with our emotions may cause us to do things we may regret. We can keep our emotions in check by taking time to think before we react and speak. 

Take a moment to consider your feelings - sometimes it is okay to express your emotions but make sure you are expressing it in the right time and right place. Studies have shown that people who repress and bury their emotions deep in their body, end up having serious illnesses.  Try talking it out with trusted members of your family and even your closest friend.

Control your anger - Yes, it is true that we cannot really change nor control our emotions, but we can still know how to live peacefully with them. Controlling our anger means to try and keep our anger away for even just a short period of time, just to avoid destruction or regrets. Sometimes, senseless and irrational decisions and thoughts are caused by overflowing anger. Anger makes everything worst.

Keep a positive attitude - Keeping a positive attitude is hard, I know. But it doesn’t hurt to try. Always try to look at things on the positive side. Be happy because like what they say “life is so short to live it with so much sorrow and regrets.” Having a positive attitude will bring about happiness and optimism in life. One can then handle situations more easily and without too much worry.

HOW TO CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS

1. Learn to respond instead of react - Take a moment to pause and consider what just happened instead of just instantly reacting to new information or a new situation. By taking a few seconds to pause and consider, you can calm yourself briefly and you will be likely to produce a better response.

2. Focus on what you can control - Once you have been presented with a stressful or emotional situation, try to identify what you can and can’t control. If something is done, you can’t change it. You can only determine what to do now.

You can control your response, and to a certain degree, you can likely control what happens next. By focusing on what you can control, you are empowering yourself. By dwelling on things you can’t control, you disempower yourself and make yourself more frustrated and more stressed.

3. Figure out what’s important NOW - When you are presented with a challenging situation in life, it’s important to prioritize what things you have to act on now.

So many people freak out about little urgent matters and lose sight of what’s really important for them to focus on first. Again, by taking a few moments to pause and consider, you can refocus your mind on what’s most important right now and prioritize your plan of action.

4. Know that you can handle anything - It’s been said that if people made a circle, put their problems in the middle, and had to pick a problem to take back out, most people would pick their own problem to retrieve. Whatever challenges you are facing that may cause stress or negative emotions, you can handle them.

We suggest you ask yourselves this question at times of stress:

Am I going to die right now?

If the answer is “no,” then realize that you CAN handle the situation. Sure, some situations are extremely difficult to deal with, but step by step, we can find solutions and move forward.

5. Change the meaning you give to “negative” events. - The more you practice the points above (especially pausing to respond and realizing that you can handle any challenge), the more you will start to view challenging events as more neutral than negative. You’ll even start finding the good in difficult situations in terms of what lessons you can learn, skills you can develop, and new motivation you can gain.

This skill of turning negative into positive develops like a muscle and becomes almost instinctive over time. Start by saying “No problem” a whole lot more. Pretty soon, you’ll condition your mind to believe it.

IT'S HARD TO DEPICT WHAT IS THE INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN THE PHOTO AND WHAT I AM SUPPOSE TO DISCUSS HERE. WELL, WHAT IS EMOTIONAL MANAGAMENT? EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT IS MAINTAINING A POISE EVEN ALL THEM BAD VIDES ARE SUFFOCATING YOU - A MANNER OF WEIGHING ALL THE FEELS.

COMMONLY, PEOPLE SAY THAT WE MUST REMAIN CALM DESPITE ALL CONTROVERSIES YET I FIRMLY DEVIATE ON THAT NOTION; IF ALL THESE ASPECTS ARE MAKING YOU SEEK GO BACK WHERE YOU FEEL HAPPINESS. YOU NEED NOT TO CONFORM WITH ALL THESE SOCIETAL NORMS, PLEASURE YOURSELF.

NO ONE EVEN TOLD YOU THAT YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO CHILL. AND FOR EVERYONE'S INFORMATION, CHILL DOES NOT ALWAYS DEFINE AS DRINKING DEM ALCOHOL WITH BITCHES IN YOUR SIDES, CHILL CAN BE DEFINED TO AS BEING FREE FROM REALITY WHILE YOU ARE IN YOUR WORLD, YOUR HAVEN, YOUR SANCTUARY. SO I'VE PERCEIVED THAT, THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS TO BE ACQUIRED IN HANDLING ALL OF YOUR EMOTIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR OWN WAYS ON HOW TO AND I CHOSE IT TO BE AT THE FOOTBALL FIELD.

                                    The Emotion Challenge 

Emotions are the most present, pressing and sometimes painful force in our lives. We are driven day by day by our emotions. We take chances because we’re excited for new prospects. We cry because we’ve been hurt and we make sacrifices because we love. Without a doubt, our emotions dictate our thoughts, intentions and actions with superior authority to our rational minds. But when we act on our emotions too quickly, or we act on the wrong kinds of emotions, we often make decisions that we later lament.

To control your emotion:

- don’t react right away

-ask for divine guidance

-find a healthy outlet

-see the bigger picture

-replace your thoughts

-forgive your emotional triggers

A constant reminder of our ardent nature, emotions surge through us at every second of the day. But we often take wrong actions when wrong feelings filter through our mind without restraint. To avoid the burn of acting out during an emotional upsurge, take a few simple steps to calm your heightened spirit and quiet your uneasy mind. When the moment has passed (in hindsight), you’ll be grateful you were able to be the master of your emotions.

“Emotions are tricky things. If you don't control them, they will control you. And if you're living your life out of control, you'll never be able to make clear and rational decisions.” ― Lisa Mangum, After Hello

Emotions are tricky things. Literally and metaphorically. In the metaphorical manner, it will mess up your mind and toy with you, play games. Literally in the sense that it can trick you into making bad decisions. 

So you must have emotional intelligence, to be able to control your emotions and be aware of your emotions. According to Salovey and Mayer, emotional intelligence is a subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor feelings of others and your own. If you would have emotional intelligence, it would be an easier way of dealing with emotional turmoils. 

For her, she mostly tries to suppress her emotions, keeping them down. (But not in the way Bliss does in the story above). She tries to calm herself down by restraining her own emotions. Once restrained and held down, she identifies what her problem is, or what situation she’s in. And whether it would be acceptable to have a display of [minimal] emotions or not. She gets herself to rationalize the situation, and tries to keep her emotions down so she would (eventually, depending on the situation) forget about them, or deal with them at the right time. (Given that she would not resort to procrastination on dealing with emotions. Because she once did, and it did not end well.) 

Most of the time, in dealing with emotions, she would resort to being levelheaded and calm about it. Although some situations might really bring out her emotions.

The Emotion Challenge

They say that the key to happiness is to always have control of your emotions. Emotions are a scary thing and we experience a lot of emotions as a person. They are the most present, pressing and sometimes painful forces in our lives. We are driven day by day by our emotions. We take opportunities and chances because we are excited of the outcome. We cry because we’ve been hurt. We risk and sacrifice because we love. You see, our emotions dictate our thoughts, intentions and actions. 

Emotions are valuable, and they may be able to offer a lot of benefits. Once we are able to control and cope with them efficiently, we can learn about ourselves and our needs. But when we act because of our emotions too quickly, we often make decision that we’ll regret later on. Managing your emotions in an unhealthy way can sabotage your job and even your health. But mostly it can sabotage your relationships with other people. In difficult situations your anger, fear or desire sometimes tend to overwhelm you. Emotions are best met with a sense of logical view. But it does not mean that we should stop falling in love or cry tears of joy after hearing great news. These truly are the finer things in life and we have every right to feel them. It is negative emotions that must be handled carefully. Negative emotions like rage, jealousy or bitterness tend to spiral out of control. So how can we avoid acting on the wrong types of feelings and manage them? 

As for me when I’m in a difficult situation where my emotions are quite hard for me to control, first I always stop and think before I act. Sometimes when we’re feeling a strong emotion we tend to act automatically like lashing out or insulting the person that hurt us. Take note of your physical feelings and thoughts that are associated with the specific emotion. So that next time when you notice the signs you’ll immediately start thinking more consciously about your feelings and what your response will be. Second is I reduce the intensity of my emotions. When we’re feeling a very strong emotion we cannot think clearly and rationally. Before you begin taking action you should at least first calm yourself down. You can do this by breathing deeply or doing things that diverts your attention calmly on what you’re doing. Lastly I think about it. I identify my feelings and the source of it then think of the best way to respond and proceed.

It can be very hard at first but it will be the best thing to do in order to keep a healthy relationship with other people. Work on managing your emotions every now and then. Happiness will eventually come to you.

“THE EMOTION CHALLENGE”

-When I’m Happy, I  smile and laugh. I don't let anyone's insecurities, emotions, or opinions bother me. I know that if I am happy, that's all that matters to me. -When I’m Suspicious, I look at the person who I suspected. I’m more likely to notice problems WHEN they really exist.

-When I’m Curious, I really want to know what is that thing that I’m curious about. i want to know and find out what is it. Because according to the famous line "Curiosity kills” It might kill me when I don’t find out things i’m curious about.

-When I’m Bored, I just surf the net, play with the cats, I’ll look for food or the worst thing that I will  do is annoy my siblings.

-When I’m Excited, I don’t know what to do or act. I will experience mental block because the feeling that I can’t suppress.

-When I’m Sad, I can’t stop myself from crying . I just wait for spontaneous dribble my tears want to come out because of the sadness I felt.

-I’m such a moody, bipolar or what other term you call similar to those word. Most of the time I’m not Impress because of the people and persons that I meet,encounter and talk. I know that It’s bad to be a choosy and judgmental person but when I  heard a story  that it’s not good about the person my impression will be different. But it’s not only the person that I’m not impressed with  is the food,clothes and other things

The Emotion Challenge

Emotions are the most present, pressing and sometimes painful force in our lives. We are driven day by day by our emotions. We take chances because we’re excited for new prospects. We cry because we’ve been hurt and we make sacrifices because we love. Without a doubt, our emotions dictate our thoughts, intentions and actions with superior authority to our rational minds. But when we act on our emotions too quickly, or we act on the wrong kinds of emotions, we often make decisions that we later lament.

Don’t react right away. Reacting immediately to emotional triggers can be an immense mistake. It is guaranteed that you’ll say or do something you’ll later regret. Before refuting the trigger with your emotional argument, take a deep breath and stabilize the overwhelming impulse. As you become calmer, affirm to yourself that this is only temporary.

Ask for divine guidance. Faith is our saving grace in our darkest moments. No matter your creed, developing a healthy relationship with the divine world will help you surmount your obstacles more easily.  When burdened with emotion, close your eyes, envision a positive solution to your problem, and ask the universe to illuminate the best path forward.

Find a healthy outlet. Now that you’ve managed your emotion, you’ll need to release it in a healthy way. Emotions should never be bottled up. Call or go see someone you trust and recount to them what happened. Hearing an opinion other than your own broadens your awareness. Keep a journal and transfer your emotions from your inner self onto the paper.

See the bigger picture. Every happening of our lives, whether good or bad, serves a higher purpose. Wisdom means being able to see past the moment and discern the greater meaning of any given situation. You may not understand it in the beginning, but as time goes by, you’ll begin to see the bigger picture falling into perfect order.

Replace your thoughts. Negative emotions bind us to recurring negative thoughts, creating cycles of downright negative patterns. . Imagine the ideal resolution to your problem playing out, think about someone who makes you happy or remember an event that makes you smile.

Forgive your emotional triggers. Your emotional triggers may be your best friend, your family members, yourself or all of the above.  But when you forgive, you detach. You detach from the resentment, the jealousy or the fury lingering within you. You allow people to be who they are without the need for escalating emotions. As you forgive, you will find yourself disassociating from the harsh feelings attached to your being.

THE EMOTION CHALLENGE

“You are in control of your life, when you refuse to be provoke.” ― Lailah Gifty Akita, The Alphabets of Success: Passion Driven Life

In your personal life, your reaction to stressful situations like these might be to start shouting, or to go hide in a corner and feel sorry for yourself for a while. So, how can you become better at handling your emotions, and "choosing" your reactions to bad situations?

Learn how to forgive

LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR PRIDE.  We need to learn to let go. We need to be able to forgive, so we can move on and be happy. Forgiveness can change your life.Forgiveness does not mean you erase the past, or forget what has happened. It doesn’t even mean the other person will change his behavior — you cannot control that. All it means is that you are letting go of the anger and pain, and moving on to a better place.

Think about the Pros and Cons

What problems does this pain cause you? Does it affect your relationship with this person?  Does it cause you unhappiness? Think of all these problems, and realize you need to change. Then think of the benefits

Ask guidance to the Lord 

Prayer is the best weapon. Talking to God will help you and guide you. Being with the Creator makes you safe from all and will   give you guidance to do what is right.

Managing one’s emotion

🙏Always remember that God don’t want you to hurt others (worst yourself) physically, mentally and emotionally. So be patient in dealing with others and the situation.

Be kind to others, so to help you stop worrying about yourself.

💭Be open and accept ideas of others. Learn to appreciate what is happening and avoid criticism, discrimination or bullying. That is linked with being mindfulness, which is about being aware of what is going on int the moment from time to time.

👭Talk and spend some time enjoying others/ their company.

💃As I learned to Sir Rogen, Exercise can manage one’s emotion by which it can make you feel better and by being fit that makes you healthier.

💻Distract yourself from the thing that makes you angry, mad, and sad or having a negative thought so that you can control your emotions towards that thing. These may sound shallow but it’s true, also you can either play with the stress ball or watch TV or surf internet or have a long exhale for you to feel relieved.

🎢Spend time outside. Being in the fresh air, especially around nature, is very helpful for calming where there is less noise and disturbance or distraction.

📷Play or enjoy your strengths, where it involves doing things that you are good at and good for you.
