Controlling emotions doesn’t mean suppressing emotions. Often you cannot prevent an emotion from arising… But you can certainly choose how to respond to emotions. This is a critical skill for anyone who wants to live a meaningful life. Learning to deal effectively with emotions starts by recognising your emotions and the effects they have on your body and mind. Simply observing your body and mind when you’re in a state of heightened emotion will help you to not be overwhelmed and ‘controlled’ by those emotions. The more you observe your emotions, the more you start to see that you’re separate from them, and the more you can deal with them effectively, in ways that lead to brilliant outcomes.
