How to manage your emotions?

        In the past, human beings lacked an understanding of themselves and saw only the negative effects of emotions, thus treating them as their enemies. The most extreme was the 17th century Western philosopher Spinoza, who saw emotions as “the chains of human nature” (centuries later, the British novelist Maugham wrote one of his masterpieces under this title) and advocated “control” or even “control” or even “eliminate” emotions. Now, it seems obvious that this is not scientific. Emotions cannot be eliminated and controlled, they can only be regulated.        So, what should be done with emotions?  First of all, we should accept and experience our own emotions. We should stop ignoring our emotions and stop being enemies of them, and take the initiative to recognize, understand and experience our own emotions, and learn to actively increase and accumulate positive emotional experiences, which will help us to maintain a good mood and working condition.  The same is true for negative emotions. Because negative emotions also have important adaptive value. Pain is an antidote to trauma, panic is a signal of danger, and guilt keeps us from making the same mistakes again. So, it is important to accept and experience negative emotions openly, and then find ways to solve them in a constructive way.  Second, learn to manage your emotions.  The management of emotions is the care, guidance and regulation of emotions, including: 1. Learn to express your emotions.  Sharing good emotions and sharing bad emotions helps us to increase our sensitivity to emotions and deepen our self-awareness and grasp. The expression of negative emotions is especially important, it not only helps us to relieve the tension at the time, but also can avoid the backlog of bad emotions.  When expressing negative emotions, it is important to pay attention to one principle: to talk about the matter, not to the person.  2, to learn to guide excessive emotions.  Everything has its adaptive value, as long as it is in moderation. But life is so complex that people will inevitably have excessive emotional reactions due to various internal and external stimuli. Such a time to be able to feel and learn to find an appropriate and safe outlet for emotions, such as pain when you have to find someone to talk to, so that emotions can be relieved in time.  3, not in the emotional impulse to make decisions.  Because emotional impulse when people are difficult to make quality decisions, of course, the situation can only be an exception when the emergency, and for some people, the emergency can also be wise.  4, when encountering problems first deal with emotions, and then deal with the problem.  Many people encounter problems will be “chaos”, or “overwhelmed”, such moments, first do not care about the problem, first to find a way to regulate their emotions, and then to consider the solution to the problem. If you put the cart before the horse and deal with the problem in the first place, it will affect the quality of decision-making, because the emotions first, emotional relief or become better, to think about the problem thoughtfully.  5, the emotions you can not handle, you should know how to seek the help of a psychologist.  Psychologists are professionally trained and have a set of proven and effective healthy methods to help people, if necessary, to seek their help, we can get out of the emotional valley in the shortest possible time.  One of the criteria for mental health is emotional health. Although all of us have mood swings, if we treat our emotions well, we can prevent mental illness and enjoy our lives to the fullest.
