I believe it is hard for designers or artists to control their emotions or temper. Emotion is like food for creation, so we can create new things. At least I would think in this way when I was in school. I would easily get angry if others did not understand my design and I did not have any patience to explain it to them.
However, the more I grow up, the more I feel that those who can control their emotions in life, work, and relationship are the ones with great wisdom. I don’t know if you have found that when you are emotional, you will always unconsciously hurt people around you, but also hurt yourself, and those in the mood to say words, the impulse to do things, afterward will let people regret it, but it is irreparable.
Inamori Kazuo once said: “The weak are angry, and the strong are peaceful.”
The powerful people have long quit emotion, emotion is the heart demon, and if you do not surrender it, it will devour you. Peace is a person’s top accomplishment, a person’s emotional stability is behind the strength is also the pattern, keep quiet, things should come, things go.
Controlling our emotions is not to hide our “joys and sorrows” in life, but to be more “calm and calm” in the face of many bad things. After all, the real strong never hide emotions but learn to control emotions, and manage emotions.
I would like to share with you some of my own ways to get rid of emotional control, and I hope it can help you too.
Don’t react right away
Learn to take a deep breath, tell yourself that losing your temper won’t solve anything, and calm down to prevent impulsively doing something you’ll regret.
Speak more slowly
Talk too fast, and you’re more likely to say hurtful things and overreact.
Not caring too much about other people’s feelings
When you meet someone or someone that bothers you, ask yourself, are they good for you? Are they worth it?
Figure out what makes you feel out of control
Get to the root cause of the loss of control. For example, if my boyfriend doesn’t reply to my messages, is it because he replies slowly? Or is it because we are less secure?
A scheme that knows what it Wants
When you know what you want, you will be more focused on yourself, and you can move forward in this impetuous world.
Learn to put yourself in the shoes of others
Especially with those close to you, learn to put yourself in your shoes. Before you say something, think about whether they will be hurt by what you say.
In fact, when we broaden our horizons, we will find that many things do not deserve to affect our mood. And the moment you learn to control your emotions, a better life is coming to you.
Go out for a walk, listen to music, and look at the scenery when we are in blue, we will find that we are very small, the world is actually very beautiful. As long as you smile, it’s no big deal.
I hope today’s notes can help those of you who are emotionally unstable. Don’t worry, we are all getting better ❤️ Do not forget to like this post if you are enjoying the reading!
