This document discusses the importance of controlling stress and emotions in developing a strong life foundation. It notes that stress occurs when one does not know how to manage emotions, preventing clear thinking and productive problem solving. Negative emotions like anger are especially dangerous as they can quickly consume the mind and lead to regretful actions. The document stresses staying calm in challenging situations to come up with solutions rather than letting emotions burst out. Maintaining emotional control means nothing others say or do can pull you down and you can be successful.

1. HOW TO DEVELOP A
STRONG LIFE FOUNDATION:
Control Your Stress & Emotions

2. Importance of Controlling Stress
 Controlling your stress is important because
anything can create stress if you don’t know
how to control it.
 Stress forms when you don’t know how to
maintain your emotions.
 You can’t come up with a productive solution
to your problem because your mind isn’t
clear.
 You allow your emotions to take over.

3. Negative Emotions
 There’ll be times when other people
might say/do things you don't like,
causing your emotions to manifest.
 If you don’t know how to control your
emotions, you behave in a negative way
that won’t benefit you.
 Since you don’t have control over other
people, learn how to control yourself &
don’t let emotions overtake you.

4. Anger
 It’s important to learn how to control our
anger, as we have a high chance of
saying/doing things we might regret later.
 Anger is an emotion that consumes your
mind quickly, leading you to develop
other negative emotions.
 That’s why anger is the most dangerous
emotion you can have.

5. Turn for the Worse or Better?
 When things don’t go as planned, make
sure your negative emotions don’t burst
out.
 Instead, stay calm to come up with a
productive solution to solve your
problem.
 Ex. When your boss gives you extra
work, it’ll be difficult to accomplish those
tasks successfully if you are mad.

6. Calm in the Storm
 When you know how to contain your
emotions, nothing will pull you down.
 It won’t matter what people say/do if
you don’t let them affect you.
 By always staying calm, you become
successful in whatever you are doing.
