Emotions are weird things. They trick us into doing things we don’t want. As well as make us scared or angry. Yet they are part of this human experience and there is something we can learn from them. Controlling emotions might be something you want to learn, but I can tell you controlling them won’t solve anything. It will only make things worse. You don’t want to cage a wild monkey.

I’ve tried many different ways of getting in control of my emotions. I am a very emotional person and can cry over a simple movie. I just feel emotions of others in a significant way. That’s simply because I am high sensitive. This makes for a hard situation when you want to control your emotions. Because on the one hand you want to be stable, on the other you want to feel what the other feels to show empathy. So you can help them out. I’ve pushed away so many emotions until I found out that I could simply view my emotions without any attachment. Nor expressing them.

I only learned this after reading and learning about it for a few years. So I wanted to make this simpler for you. More intuitive and easy to understand. The chair method is one that might just help you understand your emotions better. It is simple and easy to understand. I am of course not gonna give away much. You should go and follow the link in the description of my profile and read or listen to it yourself. So what emotions do you find hard to deal with?
