ways to control your emotions

• Be aware
• Forgive and forget.
• See the BIGGER picture
• Write it out!
• Don't react right away

It's hard to control a problem if your not aware of it! Once your aware you can start to take back control.

When you forgive you free yourself of the emotions controlling you. Like anger, resentment, jealousy etc.

You may not understand it in the beginning, but as time goes by you'll begin to see the bigger picture.

Keep a journal and transfer your emotions. Studies show that journalism is more effective when done for 20 mins a day. Write what you feel. The important rule is there is no rules!

WRITING HELPS YOU...

• Know yourself better
• Reduce stress
• Sleep like a baby

Breathe.
make them slow and deep

Whenever you feel your emotions taking control try to distract yourself by doing something you enjoy like taking a bubble bath, reading a book, or playing a sport etc.
