How do you control your emotions?
In as much as emotional intelligence is a fundamental skill, you must possess, the way and manner various individuals choose to attain this feat is variant. Here, we would list a variety of ways; which if you follow can help you control your emotions:
Identify the pattern
The first step to moving forward in any situation is understanding where you are and having a foresight of your destination; your goal. Here, emotions could be very tricky. One minute you are all happy and the next, you are angry at a co-worker. Most times, there are trigger factors that initiate most of these emotions. And these emotions follow patterns or established a routine. For instance, you may discover that once you are angry at a co-worker, you feel easily distracted and end up making bad decisions and judgements. Once you can identify these factors, it would be easier to tackle your frequent emotional outburst.
Remain calm amidst adversity
Keep practising your emotional management skills
One more thing: never make decisions amidst an emotional crisis. It often leads to regrets.
