are you afraid of your emotions? Do you struggle with managing your emotions? So
research in the self development field claims that
emotional mastery is the key to your success and fulfillment in all areas of your life including your career and your relationships
but what is emotional mastery?
Does emotional mastery mean not feeling your emotions? Does it mean pretending to be happy all the time?
so does emotional mastery means stifling your emotions, repressing them? no
emotional mastery is about acknowledging and allowing your feelings
without having to be controlled by them without having a knee-jerk reaction to your emotions
it's about allowing an emotion and being able to become the
Observer of that emotion once you can observe the emotion you can start exploring it. So explore what it has to teach you
see
many of the
uncomfortable emotions that we have
Are actually very valuable insights into where we need to shift and where we need to grow in our lives and now thinking
The next time you have an uncomfortable emotion rather than just having a knee-jerk
Instinctive response to it and acting on it take some time to ask yourself
what is the thought process?
what are some beliefs that I have behind this emotion and continue from there. For example say your partner forgets a
significant date. They forget your anniversary your birthday so immediately you may feel hurt
you may feel angry you may feel sad may feel disappointed
insignificant unacknowledged
These emotions will probably be supported by certain thoughts so ask yourself what am i thinking right now it could be he doesn't
Care about me he doesn't recognize all that i offer in this relationship
He doesn't love me enough to remember these things and so on and so forth
All of which may or may not actually be true so ask yourself are any of these true
Take the time to explore these thoughts when you start considering it from this perspective it's easy, to see how we can
interpret how we can misunderstand
situations and give them a distorted
meaning and a bigger meaning than what they actually have
it may just have been that he will he forgot and he was not paying attention
Does it really mean that she doesn't love you that's something you have to explore so very often these
uncomfortable
emotions will be based on thoughts that have become
assumptions ask yourself how many of these assumptions are actually relevant
how many are based on the truth but how many of these assumptions are based on your insecurities and your inadequacies
So this is where your emotions can be so valuable
They can show you where your unhealed parts are where you need to shift where you need to release and overcome
so rather than being afraid of your emotions start to get acquainted with them start using them as a tool for growth and transformation
and watch how the starts to transform your relationships and your life
