#1 Staying focused and exploring your emotions

The determination to explore one’s own emotions including various reactions will help us understand the causes or stimuli that affect their own emotional responses more And it will also help us to recognize what kind of response is appropriate or the best way.

You may want to start by recording how you are feeling in the moment. Simply identify them and don’t pause to embellish or judge those feelings as good or bad. Then bring it back to think about what caused that feeling.

for example if you are feeling some anxiety Let’s continue to think that What happened today? That may be the reason why you are feeling it happen. You may find that feeling may be caused by a small event that you can’t even expect Then you can clearly see the pattern of emotions that occur. along with the reasons that motivate us to be sensitive

When we are feeling emotionally or emotionally uncontrollable at the moment. Give yourself time to pause for a moment. Because emotions can interfere with perception and response to various situations. that can happen Therefore, taking action While we are still unable to manage or control our own emotions. May lead to doing things that we later regret. Therefore, we should wait until we can calm down first.

It may be used to ask yourself to remind yourself. With questions like “If we do this thing What will be the consequences?” Think about the possible outcomes. Then come to think again whether we should do it or not.

for example You may have recently had an argument with your best friend or partner. and with extreme anger or regret To the extent that I felt that I wanted to stop dating altogether.

But you should give yourself some time to feel yourself first. and remind yourself by asking yourself “If I really break up with him. What will happen?” The other person may feel a lot of pain and regret. and when the mood has cooled down We might just realize that we honestly don’t want it to end up like this at all. but has accidentally done something that cannot be undone And your friend or loved one may not wait to hear your apology. Do you really want it to be like this?

When communicating there may be arguments about who is at fault in a given situation, which can cause us to feel emotionally aroused and even angry. In general, nothing is right or wrong. Different people have different experiences.

Therefore, we should change the way we communicate. It should be said that he felt differently. And try to show understanding of the feelings of the opponent as well. in order to be open to listening to his experiences It’s better than arguing with each other believing that your own ideas are the best on one side. which further arouses conflicting emotions and later becomes a problem.
