Chapter 6 MANAGING EMOTIONS

Emotional Control and Balance

(A) IDENTIFICATION OF EMOTIONs

Let us ask a question for self-reflection, "How do I feel?" Today let us try to understand our feelings by self-examination. If we are able to understand our emotions, we can become bright and successful students because emotional balance guides our life towards the right direction. Our ability to think, learn, remember, make decisions, our social relationships and our physical health are all linked with the balance of our emotions. Balancing emotions means that to have a clear idea of when and how to express our emotions. Controlling our emotions means when to laugh and how much, when to cry and how much, when to show anger and how much.



Dear students, given below are the realms of emotions:

1. The golden realm 2. The yellow realm

3. The orange realm 4. The red realm

Let us find what these realms of emotion point towards?

Realms of emotion

Happy, Contented, Calm

Sad, Dissatisfied, Restless, Panic

Very Restless, Irritable, Very Sad, Very Anxious

Very Angry, Very Restless, Highly Emotional, Jealous, Out of Control

Dear students try to find in which range of emotions do you stand?

 

(B) EMOTIONAL BALANCE

When our emotions get out of our control then these may become like a tsunami in an ocean. As uncontrolled sea tides cause havoc and destroy everything around them, similarly anger, jealousy or resentment may also cause harm to our physical health, mental health as well as family and social relationships. So we should learn to control our emotions to avoid committing any mistake and later regret it. Whenever we experience sadness, jealousy or anger, some of these points can be kept in mind:-

·        Discuss with your teacher or an elder and seek advice to balance your emotions.

·        Try to keep yourself calm by focusing on your breathing. Try to take long deep breaths and repeat this exercise for 2-3 minutes for relaxing yourself.

·        Carry out any of your favourite activities to have a sense of stability or relaxation, which will relieve you of stress. You may execute activities such as drawing a picture, drawing a cartoon, writing down your feelings on a piece of paper and tearing it into pieces or doing an exercise.

(C)WRITING A DIARY
