emotional self-control methods

Learning to become aware of one's own emotions, from the moment in which to insert a formation, allows us to put in place a correct management of the same emotion, avoiding to make relational mistakes that inevitably that a form of attraction is emerging inside me, which then it will inevitably transmute in love, towards a person that from a logical-rational point of view, it is evident that in this phase they are able to see the flow of emotion towards a blatantly wrong emotional target and to divert this emotional potential towards positive targets from the logical instance. The goal is to perform, to live the emotions, channeling them, however, on ideas, things or people that are rewarding. Since it is the part of our history, in such a way that our life proceeds on the tracks of good and pleasure and of evil and suffering. How to proceed: get in a comfortable position, with the back erect resting on the back of the chair. Keep legs uncrossed and hands resting on thighs. Close your eyes. Keeping my eyes closed thinking about the last time we browsed an album of photos that have crystallized moments of our existence. Imagine seeing with your mind's eye a photographic album (you can, possibly, use the use of photographs taken really) that portrays important emotional moments (moments in which we experienced emotions), starting from the most recent periods back in time. To dwell only on memories that have produced positive emotions (joy, happiness, serenity, euphoria, contentment). In the remote hypothesis that some readers did not have memories of this kind, he could proceed without thinking of having them, recreating them with his fervid imagination. It is important, once we have gone with our thoughts on a particular memory, to perceive the birth of emotion and all phases of its development. It is important to realize how emotion, at first almost imperceptible, has then grown to become clearly observable and perceptible. A bit like looking at a hilarious movie. On the principle laughter is very contained, almost a hint, we know that if we could we could contain it. But if we do not do it gradually, it becomes more and more thunderous up to take over our will. At this point, whether we like it or not, we have to laugh, for how much effort we can make we can no longer contain the emotion (laughter in this case), which has completely taken over our ability to control it. It is therefore good, on an imaginative level, to go over all the phases in which an emotion develops, in order to then be able to recognize them in real life. It is good to also acquire the awareness and the sensitivity to understand how far we could still adjust the emotion, modify it, divert it to other targets.
