Manage of Emotions

According to the WHO, emotional management is essential for people to develop their full potential and enhance their abilities.

By finding the right balance between emotions, you will be better prepared to go through stressful and unexpected situations, and you will also be able to have a better relationship with all the people around you, such as family, friends, work or study colleagues. This will help reduce psychological wear and will allow you to face the difficulties that arise on a day-to-day basis.

When you have good control and management of emotions, you make better decisions aimed at enjoying a full life. This is also known as personal fulfillment.

Keep in mind that emotions are temporary states that we experience. They are normal and natural states that are considered adaptive and beneficial, since they offer us information that helps us understand situations and adapt to them.

Some strategies to control emotions:

1. Proper breathing: It is useful to reduce anxiety, depression, irritability, muscle tension and fatigue.
2. Relaxation: Essential to combat emotional states related to anxiety, stress, fear, anger management and depression, among others.
3. Visualization: The purpose of visualization is to reprogram the person's mental attitudes and thus effect positive changes in their mind, emotion, and behavior.
4. Meditation: Allows you to observe your own thoughts and attitudes.
5. Thought control: In most cases, the emotion comes from the interpretation of the event and not from the event itself.

Emotional release helps us unravel all those feelings that are mentally drowning a person. A knot is undone and a better channeling of all emotions is allowed. In this way, gaining in emotional intelligence and self-esteem, we achieve a greater adaptation of the person in his life and in his inner world.
