The truth is, there are no ā€œnegativeā€ emotions because they all serve a purpose. Consider them as signals of action that provide insightful information and give us the ability to make a change. Yes, some emotions are tough, challenging us to the fucking max. But growth requires that we recognise their signals.


To master your emotions, try these 6 steps of emotional mastery:


🧐Step 1: Identify the emotion


The first step is always to identify the negative emotion – or more accurately – the action signal. What kind of feeling is it? Annoyance? Sadness? Or are you just hangry? Which feeling do you actually feel? Finding the central feeling will enable you to understand its important lesson.


😌Step 2: Appreciate & clarify the message


As soon as the emotion has been recognised, give it your whole attention and explain what it is trying to tell you. It basically tells you that something needs to change. Is it necessary for you to modify your behavior, such as your communication style?


šŸ¤”Step 3: Get CURIOUS


Get curious about how you want to feel by asking these four questions:


-How do you want to feel?

-What would you need to believe to feel that way right now?

-What are you willing to do to feel that way now?

-What’s great about this situation or what can you learn from it?


Understanding the cause of an issue will help you keep it from happening in the future and realise that every issue is a gift.


šŸ¤—Step 4: Get CONFIDENT from past success


Consider a specific instance where you handled a comparable feeling well. How did you overcome it? Feel the confidence pour over you as you relive that moment as a comeback story. Recalling times when you were able to master your emotions gives powerful reassurance that you’ll navigate through this emotion once more.


😁Step 5: Get CERTAIN about mastering the emotion


By envisioning multiple solutions that assist you in experiencing the desired sensation, you can fortify your mental image of how you will manage this challenging feeling. If one doesn’t work, try another. Rehearse until you feel certain you can deal with the emotion.


🄰Step 6: Feel excited and take ACTION


Take immediate action to demonstrate your ability to control your emotions. In order to modify your feelings and reinforce your practice, it is important to express your emotions in a healthy way.


Remember, you always have a choice when it comes to mastering your emotions and it all begins with the steps you take now. You will get triggered along the way, numerous times!! You’ll also get it wrong many times! That’s how we learn, it’s called life! No go live it šŸ¤—
