Methods to regulate emotions

The mood of ordinary people is closely related to the environment they are in every day and the food they eat. Usually, people will be in a better mood when they are in a relaxed and happy mood; on the contrary, if a person is in a depressing environment for a long time, his emotions will inevitably get out of control at times. Once emotions get out of control, it is necessary to self-regulate. So, what are the methods for regulating emotions?

Most people actually want to know the above questions, because bad emotions are undesirable for everyone, because bad emotions can cause physical harm, and bad emotions also have a great impact on others. So, in response to this situation, let’s talk in detail about how to regulate emotions.

1. Self-encouragement

Use certain philosophies or famous quotes to comfort yourself and encourage yourself to fight against pain and adversity. Entertaining yourself will improve your mood.

2. Language Adjustment

Language is a powerful tool to influence emotions. If you are sad, reciting funny and humorous poems can eliminate the sadness. You can also regulate your emotions by using self-reminders, self-commands, and self-suggestions such as "control your anger", "be patient", and "stay calm".

3. Environmental Control Law

The environment plays an important role in regulating and restricting emotions. When you are feeling depressed, taking a walk outside can help you adjust your mood. When you are in a bad mood, going to the casino to play games can help you relieve your sorrow and boredom. When you are feeling depressed, the best thing to do is to watch a funny movie.

4. Attention diversion method

Please shift your attention from the negative aspects to the positive and meaningful aspects, and your mood will become brighter. For example, when you are troubled, you can put it behind you or find the bright side, which will eliminate the trouble.

5. Energy release method

Negative emotions can be discharged and vented through appropriate channels. If negative emotions cannot be properly vented, it can easily affect your mental and physical health. So, when you need to cry, you should cry loudly; when you are upset, you should talk to a close friend; when you are dissatisfied, you should complain; when you are angry, you should vent your anger appropriately; when you are depressed, you can sing a happy song.

l) Release the energy of negative emotions. For example, when you are angry, you might as well run to another place quickly, or hammer the wall with your fists, or find a physical job to do, or run a lap. This way, you can release the energy caused by your anger and calm your mood. Or when you are in excessive pain, you might as well have a good cry. Laughter is also a way to release accumulated energy and adjust the body's balance.

2) Eliminate negative emotions rationally. First of all, we must acknowledge the existence of negative emotions; secondly, after acknowledging the existence of negative emotions, we must analyze the reasons for these emotions and figure out why we are distressed, sad, or angry. This can help us figure out whether the things that we are distressed, sad, and angry about are really annoying, worrying, and infuriating. Sometimes this is not actually the case, so the negative emotions will be eliminated; finally, sometimes there are indeed reasons to be annoyed, worried, and angry, so we must seek appropriate methods and ways to resolve them. For example, if you are anxious about whether you can do well in the exam because you are not confident before the exam, you should actively shift your energy to strengthening your studies, concentrate on reviewing well, and alleviate your worries.

There are generally many methods to regulate emotions, and the most common ones are: self-encouragement, language adjustment, environmental constraints, attention diversion, and energy release, etc. These common methods of regulating emotions are very good for regulating one's own emotions, so in the future, when we all encounter emotional out-of-control, we might as well try these methods to regulate them.
