EMOTION MANAGEMENT When someone is doing something or is about to do something in a way I don’t want it to be done
- And I am not able to accept it - I become angry.
However, when someone has something or is about to do something in a way I don’t want it to be done
- And I am able to accept it - I remain tolerant.
When someone has something which I don’t have, or someone is able to produce the result
which I am not able to produce
– I am not able to accept it - I become jealous.
When someone has something which I don’t have, or someone is able to produce results
which I am not able to produce
- and I am able to accept it - I get inspired.
When I am encountering uncertainty or is about to encounter uncertainty, which I am not sure
how I am going to handle
- and I am not able to accept it – it causes fear in me.
When I am encountering uncertainty or is about to encounter uncertainty, which I am not sure
how I am going to handle – and I am able to accept it - I feel adventurous about it.
When someone has done something that has done something that has emotionally hurt me
- and I am not able to accept it-it helps hatred in me.
When someone has done something that has done something that has emotionally hurt me
- and I am able to accept it - it helps me forgive them.
When someone is present in my thoughts, but is not physically present and I am not able to accept it
- I say “I am missing you.”
When someone is present in my thoughts, but is not physically present and I am not able to accept it
- I say “I am thinking of you.”
Then, emotional equation is quite simple:-
Something + acceptance = positive emotion
Something + non acceptance = negative emotion
So it is not ‘something’ or ‘someone’ who is making one feel positive or negative, but it is the acceptance
or non acceptance of ‘something’ or ‘someone’, which is making one feel positive or negative. It isn’t the
world but the quality of one’s response to the world (acceptance or non acceptance) that determines the
quality of one’s emotion.
Next time when you feel disturbed with a negative emotion instead of asking who or what is that disturbing you,
please examine who or what is that you are resisting (non accepting) which is causing this disturbance in you
and replace your resistance (non acceptance) with acceptance, and the negative emotion will turn into a positive one.
Emotional management begins by stooping to blame that ‘something’ or ‘someone’ and starting to take the
responsibility to respond to life with acceptance.
