How To Master Your Emotions

I'm a big fan of science fiction shows.

Especially well-written, futuristic ones.

There's usually a character that is
some kind of android, or advanced
human, or Vulcan-like person.

This sets up plenty of interesting
scenes where some human is
explaining emotions to the robot.

It's like we admire those who are free
from emotions, but at the same time
we enjoy seeing somebody explain
human emotions.

To be sure, they are the BEST and the
WORST part about being human.

When you're hitting on all cylinders,
and you feel like the whole world has
your back, nothing feels better.

On the other hand, when nothing
works and everybody looks at you like
you've just crawled out of a dumpster,
nothing feels worse.

From a society perspective, our
emotions are "glue" that keep us
operating smoothly.

Guilt, fear, pleasure, desire.

They ostensibly push us towards things
that are good for us, and push us away
from things that are bad for us.

It doesn't help that the our emotions
were created for a world FAR simpler
than the one we're living in.

This gives rise to situations that on the
surface look fine, but underneath we
feel like we are on an emotional roller
coaster.

Most people know intellectually what
to do to get ahead, for example.

It's the DOING that's difficult.

Sure, if you talk to enough people,
you'll find the ideal business partner,
or girlfriend or boyfriend.

It's the TALKING that's the tough part.

So we respond by telling ourselves all
kinds of stories to make us feel better.

Usually on a subconscious level, so we
aren't really aware of what's
happening.

Then we're no longer interacting with
the REAL word, but one that's partially
based on our on interpretation.

But like anything else, being able to
handle your emotions is a SKILL.

The more you practice, the better
you'll get.

Luckily, there are a LOT of ways to do
this.

One is to just simply DO IT enough and
desensitize yourself.

This takes massive courage,
commitment, and time.

Luckily, there are TONS of mental
exercises that can help.

Not only to build up your emotions
BEFORE going into sketchy situations,
but to help you respond much more
resourcefully to unknown events.

There's nothing worse than walking
down the street, in a good mood, and
then BAM!

Something happens and everything's
suddenly crap.

You can learn to BULLET PROOF
yourself from those situations, no
matter WHAT they are.
