The Most Effective Ways To Deal With Raw Emotions

By Larry Murphy


There are days you wake up feeling psyched and bursting with energy, then someone from nowhere does something that leaves you in rage. Such raw emotions have lead millions of people into the most atrocious acts. How do you avoid being emotional or even deal with the feelings when they are about to have the best of you?

The simplest and easiest way to deal with rage is to take a deep breath. This can be done on spot and spontaneously. It gives you the precious delay that will stop you from taking an action that you will regret for the rest of your life. You will also be buying time to help you view the issue from a better perspective.

Put yourself in the shoes of your offender. Some reactions come from lack of deeper thought or failure to understand the circumstance that led the person into making the decision that you now consider atrocious. Taking a moment to think of the person allows you to have a better understanding of the situation. It dawns on you that your reaction could have been similar in the same circumstance.

Take off to give yourself time to cool down. Remaining at the scene causes your mind to continue processing negativity. When the mind continues being toxic, your reaction will also be negative. Take leave to assess the situation and rethink the best action. It saves you from making a disastrous decision that you end up regretting in future.

Take control of your mind. All actions and emotions come from whatever is going on in your mind. Control what you think about the person or situation. Master the thoughts that would cause you to act abruptly. Taking control of the mind saves you from taking a regrettable step.

Reset into your controlled behavior. Each person has a character that guides you on how to react to situations. There are reactions that are not aligned to the character of a person. You must practice restraint in order to turn to it when things get bad. Be the bigger guy in the situation.

Name, acknowledge and accept the feelings as well as their negative impact in your life. The feelings include being hurt, fear, anger and such manifestations. When the feelings have been identified, you will be conscious of negative reactions that could come out of these feelings. This consciousness helps you to manage the situation better.

Soothe yourself. Each person has a way of calming his or her senses down. It could be by humming a song, taking a walk, tapping on the desk, watching the horizon or even talking to someone. The technique buys time and also helps you avoid drastic and regrettable actions. It takes practice and a lot of restraint to take control of your emotions.

Find a reliable support system that you can lean on. Some people talk to a friend, family, colleague or senior, among others, who help you offload the overflowing emotions. Such support enables you to make a more informed and level headed decision that you will not regret.
