When we are experiencing a sudden loss, shock, failure, we never need to suppress our emotional state. The stronger the emotions we experience, the more attention we will pay to what causes them.
Self-regulation of the psycho-emotional state
The ability to regulate your emotions is an important skill. The acquisition process can be conditionally divided into the following stages:
- notice that you are experiencing some emotion;
- identify and name emotion;
- try to accept it and not try to get rid of it right away;
- study it better;
- try to separate from the emotion;
- master the skills of managing emotions.
What to do when a negative emotion appears
- Concentrate on your breathing - during irritation, breathe slowly and deeply. This will help to achieve a calm and harmonious state.
- Increase physical activity - the more intense it is, the faster the transition from negative thoughts to concentration of what is happening will occur.
- Focus on the implementation of household and work tasks - everyday activities will help you distract from problems and rethink what happened.
- Humor is the best medicine. Try to turn everything into a joke. This will help to calm down and defuse the situation.
Following these simple recommendations, you will learn how to manage your own emotions. This will greatly simplify your life and, most importantly, fill it with calmness and positive.
