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.
