Control your emotions, not emotions control you

We humans are rational thinkers and these characteristics separate us from almost all the other species of animals. However, most of the times we feel before we think. Our emotions and our intuitions proceed our thought. Moreover our rational decisions can get affected by memories of our past events, especially when those memories bring up emotional reactions. The more emotional the memory, the strong and faster we are affected by it. Our mind has the ability and capacity to change our reality or atleastour perception of our reality. These blocks are thinking process and emotions take over the complete control of us. The brain activity resumes only when we realize our mistake. But by then we have already made fool of ourselves. We feel regretted and embarrassed and helpless also as we cannot go back in time to correct things , as we have caused irreversible damage by breaking some one’s hear or at least spoiling some one’s mood/day. Emotions therefore are the imp factor in defining our personality. 10%of our life is made of what happens to us and the remaining 90% is decided by how we react this is called the 10/90 principle. It is therefore very imp to ensure we control our emotions because this will decide how we make or break out life or even a relation. We have to be aware of the causes of our reactions and try to build a strong emotional level. This can help us to be more productive and also add value to our life and our relations. Therefore it is imperative that we control our emotions and never let emotions take control over us.
