RE: A Short Insight on Staying Calm

in #psychology7 years ago

First of all, very well written article, short and sweet as well as to the point.

I agree with what your saying, but I also would like to add that I don't necessarily like the term "control" in some situations. If a close relative dies for example it is unnatural if you don't experience any "negative" emotions. "Controlling" in that context I would say is the wrong word, rather I would say that "tending" to your emotions would be a better word. Experiencing, allowing your emotions to be and run their course without adding fuel to the flame. Using techniques such as breathwork or meditation as you mention are perfect in that regard.

In a little bit of a rush but I hope you get what I'm trying to convey. That by using "control" as the term you frame your relationship to your emotions in a manner that might not always be beneficial or optimal.

Very good post brother, look forward to more 🙏🏼

I absolutely agree with this. We have emotions because they are meant to be felt, and sometimes they need to be worked through. Some situations are just too intense for our rational mind to overcome alone, and our emotions need to be let out in order to better deal with those circumstances.

thanks for the kind words my friend, and looking forward to more posts from you as well!

glad to connect 🙌🏼
