How To Manage Raw Emotions Effectively

By Larry Murphy


A beautiful day can be ruined by a single act when you least expect it. This leaves you seething with raw emotions to the point of taking a nasty drastic action. Experts advise people to manage these feelings because they may cause a lot of damage. But how do you deal with them before you hurt people or damage property?

The simplest and easiest way to deal with rage is to take a deep breath. This can be done on spot and spontaneously. It gives you the precious delay that will stop you from taking an action that you will regret for the rest of your life. You will also be buying time to help you view the issue from a better perspective.

Think for a minute like the person with whom you are angry. Put yourself in his or her shoes and his or her action will become clear. You find justification or explanation for the action that he or she has taken. This does not mean that the action is right but rather allows you to have a 360 degrees view of the situation. You will realize that you would have acted in the same way if you were in his or her shoes.

Leave the scene. Remaining at the scene or seeing the perpetrator of the atrocious event took place makes a person angrier. Take a break from the person and entire scenario. It will save you from taking a drastic step that you will regret later. It will also help you think of a better solution other than anger and quick reaction.

Take control of your mind. All actions and emotions come from whatever is going on in your mind. Control what you think about the person or situation. Master the thoughts that would cause you to act abruptly. Taking control of the mind saves you from taking a regrettable step.

Tap into controlled behavior. This requires you to divorce yourself from the situation and reset to character. Some reactions will not represent your character. It takes practice to achieve this. The approach is similar to being the bigger-man in an argument. Avoid being the kind of person who would react to everything negatively.

Identify the feeling, acknowledge its existence and accept the entire scenario. This consciousness helps you to realize how close you are to taking a regrettable action. Since the feelings have been identified and accepted, they can easily be dealt with.

Soothe yourself. Each person has a way of calming his or her senses down. It could be by humming a song, taking a walk, tapping on the desk, watching the horizon or even talking to someone. The technique buys time and also helps you avoid drastic and regrettable actions. It takes practice and a lot of restraint to take control of your emotions.

Lean on a reliable support system. Everyone has a person he or she calls or talks to at home, work, or in the community whenever things go wrong. Place that call or go to see the person. A little dialogue or even seeing the person will calm you down and make even the worst situation manageable.
