TaraMaiden Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Well then you will realise that what we have been telling you, is true.
Hawaii50 Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 yeah, yeah, yeah meditation.. blahblahblah. You need to stop yourself immediately, as soon as you become emotional. You must find out why you feel the way you do. Most if not all emotions are egotistical, and a reaction to either be stroked or offended. IE; Jealousy, is a secondary emotion after a primary fear. Another example is rejection, whether it's an idea in a board room or a broad in a bar. Fear. Or something positive happens and serves you, but we don't question the good nearly as much as we question the bad, do we? Just give yourself a moment, a second, to figure out why it is you feel a certain way and if your following set of emotions are the ones that will serve you best. Your reaction/emotions effect every situation you're involved in, and are very much contagious. 1
TaraMaiden Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Pretty direct, to-the-point advice. Apart from the "yeah, yeah, yeah meditation.. blahblahblah. " bit. That's stepping on my recreational profession, and I resent that. It works, and my class pupils will tell you it does. So there.

That's stepping on my recreational profession, and I resent that. It works, and my class pupils will tell you it does. So there. I can't say I'm sorry, although I didn't mean to offend. in that thought, I considered meditation being akin to bodybuilding, because it should practiced just like physical exercise/activity. And, I wouldn't recommend bodybuilding to someone who simply asked how to be more active... Or meditate to get a better grip on emotion outbursts. Edit:In his mental/emotional state, meditiation could prove more frustrating than helpful. Edited September 7, 2012 by Hawaii50 1
Hawaii50 Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 I am very much for meditation, by the way.

Nikki Sahagin Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 It depends what feeling you mean. I think the only way to control feelings is to pre-empt them. The real world will make us angry, sad etc. So you need to make time for things regularly that calm you, even before you are angry or sad. Most people only act ONCE they feel something, but the key is to act before. We are all pressure cookers and emotions build, so you have to let a little emotion out each day. Good valve releasers are exercise, meditation, socialising, time alone, journaling, music, travel - whatever works for you.
