Ways to Take Charge of Your Emotions

One of the hardest to handle in life is our emotions. It gets the best of us sometimes. When we are ruled by our emotions, we make actions and decisions out of impulse and then regret it in the end. Emotions also changes from time to time or what we called moodswings. Some days our emotions gets us high and other times gets us low. It's a crazy feeling and we end up unhappy. So how can we properly manage our emotion? What are the ways to not let it control us?

Here are some of the tips you can use to take charge of your emotions:

1.) Use wisdom. When you are being emotional, think with your head and not with your emotions. Stop for a moment to see if you really believe it's the right thing to do especially if you're making a decision.

2.) Control your self. Stay calm and steady when you are emotionally unstable. It takes a lot of practice to have self-control but you'll feel so much better after you got a hold of your feelings.

3.) Pray. If you're really having a hard time managing your emotions, the best thing to do is to pray and seek God for emotional maturity.

We can never get rid of our emotions. It won't go away but we can always have the will to take charge over them. Here's to emotional maturity!

Living the dream

Everyone has a dream. I remember I used to dream of becoming a broadcaster when I was a kid. I was fascinated with news anchors whenever I see them on TV. They appeared intellectual to me back then and I thought I was intelligent enough to be like them when I grow up!hahaha The dream goes on until the day I was told that I couldn't get in a much wanted course in College. Things didn't turn out as planned and I ended up taking another course. A broken dream in short. I just thought that maybe God has other plans in stored for me. Another dream that's worth pursuing so I went ahead with life even if it was hard to leave the dream behind. True enough I lost interest in my so called dream as years goes by. I discovered many things about myself and became pretty much convinced that it wasn't the right one for me after all. Honestly, I don't know if I should be relieved or should be bothered. Well, it's one thing to accept a broken dream but it's another to realize that you are left without any dream at all! I am a dreamer by nature so you can imagine how hard it was for me to be at at a lost, to be without something to envision for. So now, I'm back to rediscovery stage. Taking my time to explore things that piqued my interest. Hoping it could turn into something worth dreaming of and be passionate about. If and when I'm certain again, I'd swear to go after it and will find ways to start living them.
