Working Inside Out in How to Command and Master your Emotions
You have to work inside out to master and command the emotions. This requires an ability to analyze self, while searching for details in the mind to uncover new information. Sometimes you may run...
Expecting Too Much in How to Command and Master your Emotions What do you expect from you? What do you expect from others around you? Do you know? Can you even define expectations and if so, do you know what this means to you. Expectations can be helpful in survival, or else damning in our lives. It takes you to put expectations in their boundaries and own up to what you expect from self as well as others. Expectations are stressors, which lead to stress. What follows stress is sadness, misery, depression, grief, poor health if continued, and the list continues. This is a lack of controlling the emotions if you all stress to continue to the next levels.
Overall, two levels of expectation either make us or break us. One level of expectation is expecting more than you can achieve. This puts weight on the emotions, which ways down the mind and finally you are out of control. Another form of expectation includes assurance. For instance, Lisa was sure she could finish the job by tomorrow. This is a positive expectation placed on self, which could make Lisa feel confident by tomorrow.
The problem is most people place too many expectations on self as well as others. They will often strive for perfection, which it takes total disaster to help them to see that perfection is out of human kinds reach. A person showed this yesterday. He was expected something from a friend, which let him down at the last minute. At this time, he phoned me and bore the weight on his shoulders, lifting it and sending it to me. He mentioned that he should have asked another friend, since the person strived for perfection. I saw immediately that I was dealing with expectations, high emotions, and people expecting perfection. Furthermore, I seen these people had their mind set, therefore I wasn't about to waste my time trying to correct the irrational, irresponsible, illogical thinking signaled. The irresponsible comes in since this person was expecting others do what he should have done his self. In fact, I had already told him that designers were already available to handle the issue. Therefore, there should have never been a problem in the first darn place.
Anyway, the point is if you place high expectations on others it will come back to you. This will close the windows in your mind, which causes stress to increase. As you see from what I am saying, sometimes we bring on our own heartaches, which weighs down the emotions and mind, thus we lose control.
If you are experiencing stress, you will need to reduce the stress to remove the blockers. This will clear the mind and help you to focus on your next step. Don't sit around waiting for others to do the work for you, rather get busy, and get it done now. Two of the most helpful tools in relieving stress are writing and music. Combine the two and you may have a good day.
As you move along in your journey to commanding and mastering your emotions, don't forget to use your imagination, sense of humor, supporters, rewards, goals, faith, changes and more to help you move along productively. For instance, using the imagination is it possible you can take a step that will send you closer to your goals? As for sense of humor, can you see past the rough times and make something funny come of it? For instance, I am on a rollercoaster ride that is going to send me to the funny farm if I don't do something now!
