Control Your Mind and Master Your Feelings

you learn from past mistakes and alter your perception of what will happen in the future.

The best thing to do to take care of this is to accept that what is done is done and the future is untold, so all that matters is what you can do right now. What you do in the present can help

These five chains - a cluttered mind, the wounded body, surroundings, habits, and toxic people -

See the bigger picture - When you overthink, you sometimes overthink about all the tiny details regarding one situation so that the problem seems bigger than it really is. So, train your brain to look at your problem as a whole. For example, say there is a problem in your relationship and your spouse is ignoring you. You perceive them as avoiding you and then start to unravel all of the reasons why you aren’t good enough. You spiral out of control and think about if they could be seeing someone else and come up with the worst-case scenario. Stop right there! Instead, look at it as a whole. They may not be ignoring you, they may just have a lot on their minds so they aren’t focused on you. Ask yourself, are they under a lot of stress? Is this out of character for them? Do they make time for you on a regular basis?

Are you tired of falling under the influence of your emotions? Are you tired of getting upset with yourself because of the emotional impulses resulting from your emotions? Great because now that you have completely finished reading this book on emotions, you can get out of their trap. As stated in this book, not every emotion needs to be controlled but the more information you know and find about your emotions, the better off you will be and the more successful you will become at being who you want to be.

Happiness, sadness, fear, anger, guilt, shock, love, trust, disgust, and regret are all emotions that enter into our minds giving us physical symptoms which test us on what we do with these feelings. This is why it is so crucial to understand each emotion while learning, developing, improving and maintaining your emotional intelligence. No one is perfect, so of course, it is okay to completely lose control once in a while, but isn’t the effort worth so much more than making mistakes that sometimes cannot be taken back?

As promised at the beginning of this book, you now have the knowledge to completely understand each emotion you feel on a regular basis. It is now up to you what you will do with this information. I kept my promise to you so why not create a promise to yourself with the information provided? Why stay confused when you can live more, breathe happier, and be who you are destined to be?

If you take anything away from this book, it should be that your emotions are always going to be there. They are a part of you and make you who you are based on your actions and responses to them. Developing the key coping mechanisms presented to you in each chapter are perhaps the most useful skills to improve on when enhancing your emotional intelligence skills.

Good luck to you on your way to a life full of success and a better understanding of how you can control yourself in the worst-case scenarios.

Cheers!

Oftentimes we get used to our situations and so we get used to doing everyday things with our spouse. When we mix it up a bit by giving or setting up a surprise, the relationship becomes stronger because you are doing something new. Also, when you do surprise your partner by coming up with new things to do together, you may bring back the honeymoon stage that you felt at the beginning of the relationship.
