Master Your Emotions: A Practical Guide to Overcome Negativity and Better Manage Your Feelings (Mastery Series Book 1)

Product Information

Whether emotions are deemed positive or negative by psychology or societal norms can sometimes appear arbitrary. While useful for physical and mental health, stepping out of their comfort zone can also be a valuable way of gaining confidence and greater control over how children think and behave. And of course, to learn more about how to master your emotions and Emotional Mastery, I highly recommend Tony Robbins Awaken The Giant Within book.

While we each have many emotions throughout the day, often passing by without much consideration, it can be useful to revisit them. A book I'll read again. Most self help is blah blah blah this book legit. This isn't a book it's a lighthouse.Peter brings years of experience as a consultant psychiatrist specializing in the functioning of the human mind. To sum up, if you are just getting started with self-help books, this is an excellent choice as a starting point. Whenever you feel that you’re suffering or some insult has befallen you, ask yourself some questions. Are you really in jeopardy? Or is this so-called injury merely threatening your social reality ? Could this feeling have a purely physical cause? The answer can help you recategorize your pounding heartbeat, the knot in the pit of your stomach and your sweaty brow as purely physical sensations, leaving worry, anger and dejection to dissolve like an antacid tablet in water. We often overreact or believe that the world is against us. However, the following practices can help someone react more rationally and see things as they are: Stone of Life Emotions are lower level responses that create biochemical and electrical reactions in the body that alter its physical state – technically speaking, emotions are neurological reactions to an emotional trigger.

We've never really been taught to control our emotions. However, controlling emotions is significant in turning our lives magical or miserable. Perhaps the easiest way to gain concepts is to learn new words. You’ve probably never thought about learning words as a path to greater emotional health, but it follows directly from the neuroscience of construction. Words seed your concepts, concepts drive your predictions, predictions regulate your body budget (which is how your brain anticipates and fulfills your body’s energy needs), and your body budget determines how you feel. People who exhibit higher emotional granularity go to the doctor less frequently, use medication less frequently, and spend fewer days hospitalized for illness. This is not magic; it’s what happens when you leverage the porous boundary between the social and the physical.Talking about feelings and expressing emotions can help manage emotions and provide vital new perspectives. If you’re trying to get better at managing emotions, you might try downplaying your feelings to yourself. When you focus on the negative things that happen in your life or you constantly find yourself worrying about the future, your predominant emotion will probably be fear. If you want to make more money, lose weight, or buy a new item of clothing – you're doing it because of what you think it will give you, which is a certain emotion. For example, you believe that by losing weight you will feel more confident. Or by attracting this type of person into your life, you will feel loved. Or, by making a million dollars, you will feel happy.

The one thing all emotions have in common is that they all pass . And the more you’re aware of their fleeting nature, the easier it will be to master your emotions.

One of the best things you can do for your emotional health is to beef up your concepts of emotions. Suppose you knew only two emotion concepts: “Feeling Awesome” and “Feeling Crappy.” Whenever you experienced an emotion or perceived someone else as emotional, you’d categorize only with this broad brush, which isn’t very emotionally intelligent. But if you could distinguish finer meanings within “Awesome” (happy, content, thrilled, relaxed, joyful, hopeful, inspired, prideful, adoring, grateful, blissful . . .), and fifty shades of “Crappy” (angry, aggravated, alarmed, spiteful, grumpy, remorseful, gloomy, mortified, uneasy, dread-ridden, resentful, afraid, envious, woeful, melancholy . . .), your brain would have many more options for predicting, categorizing and perceiving emotions, providing you with the tools for more flexible and useful responses. You could predict and categorize your sensations more efficiently and better suit your actions to your environment. After all, evolution’s psychological adaptations are not only for problem solving, but also for helping and motivating the individual to maintain and sustain goal-directed behavior. Our ancestors had to identify reliable food sources, avoid being eaten, protect their young, and find a suitable sexual partner (Workman & Reader, 2015). The activities in this book provide concrete examples of the whole range of human emotion and are designed to have a positive and immediate effect on your own emotional wellbeing.One thing I found fascinating in Awaken The Giant Within, was the 4 ways that people deal with negative emotion.
