Ten tips for controlling your emotions

When in public, people must learn to control their emotions and avoid getting angry. This can effectively reduce the possibility of getting into trouble. Trouble comes from the mouth, and people often get into trouble because they don't know how to speak. In fact, there are many ways for people to effectively control their emotions. People who can control their emotions generally do not get into trouble. Here are ten tips for controlling your emotions.

1. Ignore those who irritate us

There is a kind of very vulgar people who always like to deliberately make you angry. The more you pay them attention, the more excited they become. However, if we ignore their words and actions, they will get bored and leave on their own, and will no longer harass us. This way we escape the things that make us angry!

2. Stop being angry rationally

In fact, we always retain a bit of rationality at all times. When we are furious, we need to use this bit of rationality to tell ourselves: "What's the point of being so angry? Getting angry will only make everything worse." Even if we are really angry at the time, just repeating these words in our heart can ease the anger a little.

3. Treat others with kindness

Another method is visualization, which, in the words of spiritual teacher Paramhansa Yogananda, is to see the other person as a child. Once you see the other person as a helpless 5-year-old child, you will feel sympathy and tolerance in your heart. If your little brother accidentally stabbed you, you would at most be a little unhappy but not angry, right? Perhaps you would think that your brother is too young and does not understand. This method really works when your family occasionally drives you crazy.

4. Keep silent when you are angry

Anything anyone says when angry is bound to add fuel to the fire and can easily hurt other people's feelings. We found that when we speak in anger, the other person will respond negatively, making the atmosphere even more tense. When angry, everyone is prone to making wrong decisions, so when angry, just keep silent!

5. Cherish a peaceful state of mind and stay away from anger

If you regard peace of mind as something very important, then we will never let anger destroy it. As Master Sri Chimoyi said: "You may have ten thousand reasons to be angry with someone, but don't forget that when you get angry, you will also lose your most precious peace of mind."

6. Take a deep breath

Generally speaking, deep breathing can help relieve your anger.

7. Meditation

According to research, regular meditation can be very helpful in maintaining inner peace and tranquility. If we have the tools to achieve inner peace, why not use them when we are angry?

8. Try to understand the angry person.

Don't be afraid to always face criticism from others in a defensive manner. If you can remain calm, the other person may feel guilty for getting angry at you. At the same time, they may also unconsciously calm down due to your calm mood.

9. Distract

If someone does something that makes you angry, think about happy things. The best antidote to anger is to shift your focus to happiness.

10. Watch funny movies

If you are furious, you can choose to watch some funny movies. After watching them, I guarantee that your desire to yell at the sky will turn into the desire to laugh at the sky.
