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.
 

Philosophical thoughts

I'm quoting one my favorite bloggers Bianca Gonzalez, "What makes up my being is everyone I've met, loved, hurt and gotten hurt in my life. A person who hurt me will teach me about pain and will help me decide that I do not want to hurt others. A person who loved me will teach me how it is to give love and will make me want to love others. A person kind to me will make me want to treat others with kindness. When we experience, we often think that it is an act of taking in but more than that it is an act of pouring out being open to the possibility of this world and possibilities for us beings in the world."  
 Great philosophy, I guess people have their own sets of philosophies, I would want to have some of my own. I remember back in college, I look forward to attending my philosophy class, given another chance I would have further studied it. It's just interesting to learn one's love of wisdom. To be as wise as those great philosophers had been. I think it would take lots of experience to gain wisdom in life . So for now, it's enough to look up for a philosophy that best suit me at this time of my life. Maybe in a few years when I'm older and hopefully wiser, I could come up with a philosophy for myself that I could share with others too.

Life Oh Life!

Just recently I’ve had one of my greatest disappointments in life. I’m such a failure. I felt really bad when everything I’ve worked hard and prayed really hard for just went to nothing. It never occurred to me that in life you could only hope but should never expect. I expected a lot but things didn’t go my way. Man, it hurts big time. I’m just lucky enough that despite the struggle, I was able to bounce back again. Thanks to the wonderful people who have supported me. Life is really a constant struggle. No one is spared of the hardships and difficulties. It’s all up to the person if he wants to be down or find his way up again after every fall. Fortunately, I know better than crying over spilled milk. Life goes on and so am I.
