Emotional Mastery

By Selena Harris

Are your emotional coping skills prevenient you from being a happy person?
The externalist view of happiness is the norm in the West, including the United States. In order to be happy, you have to look outside yourself. It is not something you are born with. When you are in a condition of depression, you feel it from the inside out, yet it is triggered by external circumstances like people and things. A lot of things must go your way before you can be happy.

What a shame because, if you follow these guidelines when defining happiness, you are unlikely to experience much joy. In the event that you do achieve this emotional state, it will not continue for very long at all. How did this happen? You are not really set up for long-lasting and intensely pleasant experiences if you go by these definitions. Because you are not in charge, they won't. Either happiness occurs on a regular basis or it does not. When the stars align, or when you roll the dice, it is more likely to happen. To live your life in this manner is the best way to go about it. A better way to think about happiness is as an outcome of your ability to manage your emotions.

A series of acts that you have some degree of influence over are the emphasis of a skills-based approach. You can better understand the repercussions of your actions and feelings if you pay attention to what you are doing and where you are doing it. Choosing your feelings is a powerful tool.

Happiness is more durable when you can choose how you respond and focus on the positive aspects of your life. Control is attained as a result of this. When compared to someone who simply waits to see if others would be good to them, this individual is a lot more proactive. He or she sits and waits to see if the stars align. It is possible they are waiting for an opportunity to arise in their current employment, hoping for a promotion or for a scholarship, or hoping to do well on a test.

Your best strategy is to take control of your own happiness, rather than relying on another person's good fortune to bring it into your life. Life is what occurs when you are busy making other plans, and you are not in control of that.

Emotional coping skills can help you take charge of your life in a wide range of situations, so use them to your advantage.

Introduction

What if I told you that a lot of the things, you are feeling are not exactly what you think they are? In many cases, you are jumping to conclusions in terms of identifying your own emotions.

I know this sound crazy because after all everybody is feels emotions and their entitled to them, right? Well, you are confusing two things. You are confusing the fact that everybody is entitled to their own emotions. Nobody can argue this.

If you’re feeling certain things or you’re experiencing a rush of different emotions, you are entitled to that because you are equal like everybody else.

Everybody is looking at the same set of stimuli and everybody is welcome to process that information and walk away with different emotions.

That is okay. That is natural, that’s parts of the game.

What you are not entitled to is to absorb yourself of the responsibility of dealing with your emotions. This is where a lot of people fail. I really can’t blame them because 9 times out of 10 when confronted with any kind of toxic emotions, people would rather do things the exact same way they’ve done things before.

You’ve grown accustomed to intercepting certain signals a certain way. You become mentally lazy. Sure, in the beginning you chose one interpretation over another, but the more you repeat it the more it becomes engraved until you reach a point where you feel that this is just part of your personality.

You might even think that this is just the natural objective interpretation of the things you are seeing and feeling. Absolutely wrong. This is not objective; it is always subjective. You can always choose a different interpretation.

This is where honesty comes in. Are you looking at the big picture? Are you coming up with a logical and rational reading of the stimuli that you are perceiving or are you just going through the motions, are you letting your emotions get the better of you because you’re just lazy?

You’ve been reacting this way for a long time and you really don’t want to put in the time, effort and energy to
