How to master your emotions

Master your Emotions
Emotions guide us in a million different ways; they help us note if something is right or wrong in our life. If one feels happy, then things are good internally, but if you feel bad then something might be off balance, and it needs to be changed or examined. According to Tony Robbins, “Every emotion has a message for you” (Robbins, 2017). Different emotions are categorized as signals. And if one understands the signal, then it is easier to make them serve you. “Master your state of mind” (Robbins, 2017) as a result you get excitement, happiness, and growth.
I have learned the core of emotions. That to understand my emotions and make them serve me, I have to take appropriate actions. Tony Robbins gives us different examples of signals and how to handle them. The action signal of being uncomfortable might include; boredom, impatience, distress, mildly embarrassed. The message that this signal sends is that one must change their state immediately. And the solution to this emotion of discomfort is to clarify what one wants in life and take immediate action. Fear; apprehension, concern, anxiety, terrified, scared. For example, if a friend of mine assumes me for a week I will be terrified, maybe our friendship has ended, I will be a slave to my emotions. The message sent is that I am not prepared to let go of our friendship, but the solution is that I need to be prepared for whatever my friend will tell me. By doing this, I am taking control of my own emotions. He also goes ahead to teach about anger, frustration, disappointment, guilt, inadequacy, overloaded and loneliness.

In all this, he gives the solutions on how to handle this signals. I learned that emotions send signals and we must know how to interpret the signals. Therefore, we must appreciate the message and use it to our advantage.
A good lesson learned is that after I have identified the emotion, I need to take the appropriate steps to master them so that they cannot repeat themselves. These actions include; recognizing the emotion, appreciating the message the emotion sends, respecting it, getting curious, get confident, recall once you solved the same problem and us the same tactic, get certain and finally get excited and taken action, by doing this you will be empowering life. (Robbins, 2017)
People are advised never to ignore any signal since it will intensify and as a result cause change in a negative way. “If you ignore these signal, they won’t go away; they will intensify until you are forced to change”(Robbins, 2017). All in all the main thing is that one should never let his/her emotions caught up with his/her, they should be proactive always, and be ready to act on any signal at any time.
