Emotional Freedom
Control your emotions so that your emotions don’t control you.
Where do the emotions come from?
We think that our emotions are created by the external
environment. When there is a happy situation going on like when you get money
or meet your favorite person, you get happy. When you lose something or your
favorite person, you get sad. When something is going on of your dislike, you
get angry. When you are going to have something that makes you happy, you get
excited. But that’s not true.
What going outside is not controlling your emotions. It is
you who is controlling them and you can absolutely change! Our emotions are
controlled by our thinking. Two persons facing same situation may be think
differently at that situation.
How to control our emotions?
We can’t control what is going on in external environment
but we can control our thinking. If in a sad situation you will think about
happy things you’ll get happy and in a happy situation if you’ll think about
sad things you’ll get sad.
We are scared of something because we think of the things in
a way that we get afraid of that thing. Suppose anybody is afraid of dark it is
because whenever it gets dark he thinks that dark is going to eat him up or
something is going to happen with him in the dark and he can’t protect himself
because he can’t see anything. If he doesn’t think any of it he’ll not be
scared.
What if you get embarrassed in front of someone?
Don’t think too much
of the embarrassment just think that wasn’t too much embarrassment.
Have you ever go to a place and you know that there is a bad
spot on your shirt. You’ll meet everyone and everybody’s attention goes to that
spot that’s not because they see it that’s because you don’t want them to see
it.
You’ll try to hide that spot and all the time there would be one thing
going on your mind that may nobody finds that spot and see it. Well you are
giving him signals to see it how not he will see it. While on the other hand if
you don’t know about that spot, you’ll not think about that spot and nobody’s
attention will go to that spot. So it’s all in your mind that does everything.
Controlling emotions is a power.
What if you master your all emotions? You’ll not scared of
the things when others will get scared of them. You’ll not get sad when anybody
tries to make you sad. You’ll not get embarrassed of the situations of which
you used to be so embarrassed. You’ll not ashamed of anything. You’ll not get
jealous when somebody tries to make you jealous and most importantly you’ll not
get angry at the people or on the things.
How to control your anger?
Anger is the emotion that should be controlled. When you are
angry you are not the person that you actually are.
Controlling anger is not that hard but it may be for some of
the people.
All you have to do is
“Don’t react straight away at any situation.”
Our neurological response of anger is just 2 seconds after that we are just
over reacting. Firstly open your eyes see what is actually happening then react
in your most possible calm way. Being angry at any person can’t solve any
problem.
Most of the big decisions of life are not taken correctly because of
anger. So you are not going to suffer afterwards due to your 2 seconds anger
response, you are going to suffer because of your over reacting.
How to stay happy?
Staying happy spreads a positive energy in to the
environment. Daily we miss a lot of small things at which we can be happy.
Don’t miss those things. You have a lot of things that others don’t have. If
you lose something you’ll still have a lot of things that others don’t have so
don’t take them for granted. Don’t miss any chance of getting happy.
There are little things that can help you to stay happy
like:
Sit up straight. Your posture tells a lot about you. A
straight posture helps to stay happy and more confident.
Do exercise. Exercise opens your mind to positive things. It
helps you to stay calm in panic situations. It also helps to alleviate the
tension.
Improve your diet. Eat to be happy. Eat the things that make
you happy but stick to the healthy ones.
Improve your sleep. Waking up in the morning with a full
energy really helps to stay happy throughout the day.
Smile! Smile at things you don’t like. Smile at people you
don’t like. Smile at people who don’t like you. Smiling makes a lot of
difference and it also helps others to get happy and smile. A small smile can
really make someone’s day. There is even a smile day celebrated in the world.
Connect with others. Most of the connection is done when you
smile watching at any one. Whenever you go to any party or any event, talk to
others, show them that you want to learn about them.
Distract yourself from bad things. If anything bad happens
or you don’t like anything, distract yourself from that thing. Think about
anything else.
Think positive. It all depends upon your thoughts. Thinking
positive will help you a lot to stay happy.
Liberation
Being emotionally stable is a great liberation. Liberation
from emotions mean liberation from negative emotions. Of course we can’t
totally get rid of all the negative emotions but we can practice not to show
them.
Negative emotions are not all bad they also have a purpose but don’t let
them dominate at you. you can’t stay happy at a death of someone you loved, you
have to grieve, a little grieving is essential at that time. Also after a
negative emotion you get to feel the positive one more.
Suppressing negative emotions will not make you happy. If
you’ll keep suppressing your anger, one day you are going to blow up one day
with that anger. Practicing to get less angry will make you to get less angry
and you don’t have to suppress your anger or any other emotions.
Also if you master your emotions, you are going to be free.
Free of hatred, free of bad situations, free of anxiety and free of every bad thing
that is going to happen.
