How do I control my emotions?

Emotions speak volumes. There are parts of us that think and parts of us that act, but there is only one part of us that feels. This is the purest truth of being human. We feel. We can not fake feelings. They are there or they are not. They make us smile or they make us cry. They come and they go. But they are true. So listen to them. Listen to how you feel and why you are feeling that way. We may learn how we truly feel or what we should truly do, if we learned to listen to the part of us that feels. We don't listen enough and act on impulse and with our thoughts.

Breathing is life. Breathe. Deeply, meaningfully, and timelessly. You are you. You should not be afraid to feel. It is natural and true. Do not fear truth. Truth is an ally.

Perhaps if we spoke of our feelings matter of fact--we may convey our moment better. I feel sad. I feel upset. I feel happy. These simple yet strong words can deliver books of messages and words that otherwise may be lost in thought. Choose your words under emotional influence carefully. Then take a step back to clear your head if need be. Feelings are powerful things that overtake our being. It isn't about caging ourselves, but allowing us to freely Be, within reasonable limits.
