Emotions are a huge force, which, at times, can be difficult to keep inside yourself. But often it is simply necessary to control yourself. So what if an emotional storm swept over you?
Instructions
Step 1
Analyze what triggers a negative response in you. Maybe this phenomenon is periodic - say, more often than not, you lose your temper at work or you cannot calm your irritation in a crowded subway car. Then next time you will find yourself in a similar situation already prepared.
Step 2
One of the most powerful exercises to keep yourself in control is to breathe deeply and slowly and count to ten and back. Or tell a simple poem about yourself. And if the situation allows, do a couple of squats or push up 5 times from the floor. In short, the goal is one - to distract yourself.
Step 3
Negative emotions can be divided into constructive and non-constructive. The latter require your control - you cannot yell at a subordinate because a passing car has smeared your new coat with mud splashes and anger demands an exit. On the other hand, if a colleague slows down an important project because of his own laziness or inconsistency, this is also not a reason to express everything that you think about him and turn his table over.
However, constructive emotions should not be suppressed, it is better to direct them in a useful direction - first, talk to a careless employee heart to heart, listen to him and try to turn a problematic situation for both of you into a useful one.
