Emotional Alertness
from:
To command and master your emotions you'll need to enhance the alertness or awareness of your emotional mind. If you're wondering how this is done, then think of opening the windows of chance and opportunity in your mind. The mind grows and learns, while processing what it sees, hears, acts on, and the like, all stemming from physical developments. The windows in your mind present visions, which are eyesight mental images pictured in the mind, at the same time, the mind hears.
The mind functions through language through input and outputs, i.e. our actions are languages that the mind accepts or disagrees with, thus putting us in or out of control. For instance, if you drink all night and know you have a meeting to attend to the next day, the mind will shut down on that day and not function as well as it would had you gotten a good night's rest. In other words, what you do comes back to your mind. Now you see emotions working, since the next day you may feel anxious, stressed, nervous, frustrated, tired and miserable and all those other emotional-packed words.
Look at the list of words. Tell me what you're thinking. You probably see stress and say, "Oh yes, I'm familiar with that dreadful word." Well, the fact is stress, if not controlled, leads to anxiety, depression, nervousness, dread, fear, sadness, lack of motivation, frustration, gloomy and so on. As you see, we need to reduce stress in our life in order to command and master the emotions. This brings us to removing stressors out of the way to reduce stress.
Stressors are pains in our (we won't go there) lives that cause us to feel stress. Stressors can be a death in the family, financial burdens, martial problems, relationship problems, problems in friendships, child problems, and the list can stretch for miles. Stressors are reducing items we can minimize to make room for a free mind. How can you do this? How can you minimize your stressors?
Bills are the number one problem for many people today. While this nasty greed based problem creeps in all our lives, it's possible to make it happen. For instance, if your mind is overwhelmed from the mountain of bills coming in, did you know you have recourses to reduce those stressors? This brings us to pulling up resources and using each one to its fullest. The resources could be asking for help, taking extra work, requesting cutback on amounts and the like. There's no end to the help available to you.
Children nowadays are major stressors, yet we can't get rid of them. The children today are influenced by media, television, peers, teachers and many other influences that misguide and mislead their way. Sometimes we just have to take action right now, rather than putting it off, and sometimes we just have to let go and let them learn the hard way. The best solution is catching the child on a good day so that you can teach him. This will open room for you, since the emotions of the child may be in good working status.
As you see, alertness of the mind is essential while dealing with problems. If you're alert, you'll have the ability to take control at what time control is needed. The mind response well to alertness and that awareness includes understanding what's inside of you. You'll never know your limits until you take the steps to put action in full force.
