Hello friends of this Great Community; It hasn't happened to you that when someone tells you something that bothers you, and makes you angry, or when you are talking to someone and that person tells you something that affects your emotions and makes you want to simply scream or insult, well at that moment what you should do is breathe deeply and realize that you are out of your control, that your emotions are overflowing, I believe in everyone.
You just have to take a minute for yourself, you can even take a short break, drink water, go to the bathroom, take a minute, breathe, but above all, remove yourself from the scene, find those types of tools to better control your emotions and lower that intense moment.
Controlling our emotions, controlling our mind gives us a lot of autonomy, it gives us control to be a more disciplined, more constant, more focused person and that is because you know how to identify your emotions and how to use tools to control, to reduce their intensity and satisfy your instincts and your needs.
A philosopher called Epictetus talked about something very interesting that I think is relevant to mention, he believed that freedom is the most important and essential aspect of life, so if we allow other people or circumstances to control our emotions we are not truly free, therefore, learning to be master of your own emotions is one of the most valuable things you can learn, if something or someone can take away your peace, your joy, your serenity, you will become a slave to it forever.
You must understand that you have the power to choose how to react to all situations, you have the power to choose how your behavior will be in all situations, so if you want to learn to develop a quality or a habit, what I recommend is to behave as if you already had that habit because that will bring you results, because you know what happens that we often repeat behaviors and beliefs that we have learned from our parents or from people who have been part of our education.
So in this process, the essential thing I would say is to learn to unlearn, to reconsider and to place beliefs, behaviors in their correct place so as not to be slaves to patterns of thought and actions that are not even ours, that is why I always recommend knowing yourself, identifying your emotions, your feelings, your beliefs, your own values because for someone to offend you, for example, you need to accept that as an offense, you need to believe that something, that someone told you or something external can interfere and change your interior.
Take note of this and never forget that it is not the external things that disturb and destabilize us but how we feel and behave in the face of them, that inner freedom is the most valuable thing you can achieve, because even in the worst circumstances you can maintain the freedom to choose your thoughts, attitudes, serenity, perseverance, focus, discipline, emotional control, all these are characteristics that anyone can develop so don't give up, you can do it and have that awareness.
Believe me, you will be a much more mature and responsible person for your actions, it will also help you maintain your focus, because failing you are going to fail, we are human beings, we have ups and downs, we have feelings, we go through difficult situations and we cannot ignore this, either, so to conclude I tell you “start from the principle that you are going to fail”, that is why you need to learn to identify and know how to deal with your own feelings, so that external circumstances do not interfere with your values, your beliefs and your whys.
And even if you go through situations in which your emotions are altered or are not aligned with your goal, at that moment you will know how to embrace yourself and find tools to deal with it and refocus. One thing you should also keep in mind is that success lies in how many times you are able to refocus even when you fail, even when you have difficult moments because you see, they will exist.
I hope that you like this publication and that it has made sense to you, that it has touched your heart at least a little and because this message is very strong and will help you a lot to stop procrastinating and putting aside your dreams and your dreams, Breathe, have some tea and focus again, we'll read each other.
