Understanding Your Emotions in How to Command and Master Understanding emotions can help you to grow to command and master your own mind. Lack of understanding is one of the primary reasons people fail in life. People often scare at what time something different comes their way, which is another reason people fail.
Emotions are tools we have naturally instilled inside of us. Emotions deliver messages, which include sadness, happiness, joy, hate, anger, fear, etc. If a person allows his or her fears to rule, thus the emotions will drool. Therefore, you do not have control. For instance, most people fear their anger. It is ok to be angry, yet it is not ok to behave out of anger in an aggressive manner. A person behaving out of manner is illustrating that his mind is the master and commander of him or her.
A person acting on anger will swing between emotions. The person acts out on fear, which is the root of his anger. The person may fear abandonment or else engulfment. For instance, the army overturned the town because of its fear of attack. For instance, she was afraid of desertion, afraid that he would reject her and leave. These are examples of controlled persons, who have not learnt to master or command their own emotions. Why, because the person has not come in connection with self, which means he or she is out of touch with her/his own identity. This also means the person cannot relate to his or her own fears. What are you afraid of and can you identify this fear?
A person acting out of emotions will often shift their self-images to others around them. For instance, he accused her of being responsible for his infidelity. The person is making excuses for his immoral acts, by placing blame on the mate. This is not taking responsibility for one's role or actions, thus his emotions master and command him.
A person will act on emotions by showing signs of revengeful nature, thus holding grudges against those he or she allegedly feels that hurt him or her. For instance, she struck out aggressively at Matt after he assumingly accused her of lying. In the illustration, Matt has not technically accused her of anything, yet obviously, she has lied, otherwise her emotions would be in control. Thus, she continues to hold a grudge against Matt for a length of time. This harmful emotional stimulus will only hurt this person.
Sadness stems from grief, sorrow, unhappiness, misery, dejection, woes, gloom, etc. Most times sadness if uncontrolled will lead to depression, melancholy, despondency, desolation, and the like. Despondency makes a person feel hopelessness, which brings on desperation. If you see how sadness can turn negative and control the emotions, you will also see that controlling sadness is essential in commanding and mastering your emotions. For instance, Jerry was Mary's best friend. Jerry died in a car accident eight months ago today, and Mary still cannot fight the sadness. This is leading to major problems. Mary needs to accept that Jerry is gone, and that she cannot change the unchangeable. Death is inevitable. Jerry died in an accident, which is a twist of cause and effect. Therefore, Mary needs to see what caused the accident and what effects took hold of the cause to move ahead. Acceptance then, is the start of moving toward commanding and mastering the emotions.
If you cannot accept change, you will not accept emotional response. For instance, Mary believes that Jerry is gone forever, and that she admits that she will not see him any longer. Mary acknowledges and understands. She is not denying the reality and truth.
Now you take it from here and see where you go?
