SUPERCHARGED: HOW TO MANAGE YOUR EMOTIONS

Life seems to present itself in two facets of dimensions; ups and downs; high and low; hot and cold; summer and winter; day and night; true or false; positive and negative.

These interplay of dimensions or facets cause interludes of emotions. Emotions are here to stay no doubt about that. However, when we build up our place in an emotional dungeon, we set in motion a self-defeating system that perpetuates failure to run our lives.

 But when we set up a self-control mechanism that effectively manages our emotions positive emotions come to stay producing emotional bliss and peace of mind. False beliefs about yourself and your world are the antecedents of negative emotions. When beliefs are distorted the beauty of emotions becomes disfigured leading to ugly emotional experiences that confine life in the failure dungeon.

Right believing in yourself and your world is the foundation that sustains a healthy emotional well-being that makes for great success.

Your feelings mirror the portrait of your self-image. The buildup of a healthy self-image is the beginning of the buildup of healthy emotional well-being. Whenever you fall short of positive emotions you shortchange yourself. Your feelings are a feedback mechanism reflecting the quality of your thoughts. Therefore, when you are emotionally down perform an emotional checkup in order to stay up the quality of your life.

To manage your emotions is to manage your mind and to manage your mind is to gain ascendancy in self-mastery and to gain the ascendancy in self-mastery is to ascend into a life of excellence.
