My advice to people trying to master emotions: 1. Don’t ignore unpleasant or exciting emotions. 2. Understand their cause and source. 3. Decide if you want it to overtake you.

The goal is not to control our emotions, but to become so in touch with our emotions that we don't let them control our lives and instead influence our lives. to feel and still make logical, unbias, decisions about the world(s) around us.

[@iancorral6566]

Technically this isn’t mastering your emotions at all. It’s broadening your horizons. It’s not the same. Emotional mastery is acting in spite of what you feel. Like feeling fear but not being ruled by it.

[@1995yuda]

Yeah, check the training Marins go through for that, like by-passing Fight/Flight response. But he does have a point in the sense that if you look at things differently, you then process them differently and thus act differently. Thats how I understand it anyway.

[@cyclonemt]

You can master your emotions by viewing something from another's perspective. This is an exercise I did once in a small interactive emotional intelligence seminar I attended. They had you think back to a time when you were the most angry at someone. Then you picked a partner and you pretended that partner was the person you were angry at and you yell at him for a good minute and explain why he did you wrong. Then you switch turns, and your partner pretends he's the person who made you angry and he tries to explain his reason for acting the way he did in that situation. What that does is help you to bring up the anger you've been holding for a long time within you and then see the situation from the other person's perspective, so that maybe by reflecting on how the other person viewed it, even if you don't agree, but then maybe you can understand at least and forgive or let go of the anger.

I thought the same way at first but actually it is mastering your emotions. To look at things from a higher perspective without letting your emotions change and twist what you see. With objectivity. For most ppl its really hard to look at sth without letting their emotions interfere.

[@xavierhames3458]

I can definitely relate! I am very similar and am learning that if you look at your life from like a 3rd person point of view you have the option to choose whether to hold on you your emotions or let them go. It’s basically what the video said “change your perspective, change your emotions.”You should never not want to feel anything at all that’s the point of being alive!

[@hypercyclone1252]

It’s ok to be a sensitive person, I was once there too. While you might need to learn some self control, and understand why you feeling the way you are, I don’t think you want to emotionally numb yourself, it makes life feel bland

I m not expert but i think i should answer u becoz a year ago i was very very much aggressive, always fighting with everyone for small things or matters which was even not much important to me( i was that bad that manytimes i quarrelled with my mom and bro also). During long heated arguments many times i was speaking with bitterness (unintentionally due to anger)which hurt others and obviously in return i was get same bitterness and then at that time i was crying for hours. Directly coming to Solution: i started doing yoga on daily basis. I want to make clear that yoga is not doing some asana and meditation but it is related to everything in our life starts with how we think. For u : try to think wht make u cry , (in my case it was my anger and then i find out what makes me angry ) along with this try anom vilom prayananam Think +ve & Be patience change will be slow but yog makes permanent change in behaviour & attitude 😄

3 SIMPLE steps to MASTER your emotions : 1) Be observant of your thoughts 2) Be observant of how you feel 3) Know that both are interconnected 4) You're in control :)

[@allyprasad7297]

this good, but I think feel first then thoughts second. Our thoughts are made from what we are feeling.

[@foxtail7363]

+Ally Prasad I find them seperate things totally? I can think and feel differently

[@allyprasad7297]

Of course I agree but I think that's why the point is to align them both, for them to work together Have you ever had that experience where you think one thing and feel another and then it just feels like you are fighting with yourself? Certain thoughts arise from certain feelings. Getting clear about what you truly are feeling allows your thoughts to be clear as well and they end up aligning perfectly together, in harmony.

[@foxtail7363]

+Ally Prasad depends what you define as feeling really whether you mean more inner type feeling or if you mean reaction to physical stimulus or emotion (or maybe all of them?). I guess when I think about it, I usually feel intuition first of an idea and thoughts come afterwards. I don't feel in the sensory way so for me (that type of feeling) is very much secondary.

[@foxtail7363]

+Ally Prasad and yup i've had that feeling and thought mismatch

[@bienvinidopaliza3454]

For me it's 1.Accepting what is the cost 2.Accepting what will happen 3.Then react

[@nickolazcarters]

Number 3 is wrong. You should not react into anything you just have to stay objective at the end.

I feel like we need more teachers as such as yourself. As someone who had no one to teach me about life I wish we had more of this in the open world. May peace be with you.

I just want to say.. This video saved my day today, I was driftiing off emotionally and for the first time in a while I felt stuck in my emotions but this allowed me to flow freely again. I am forever thankful 🙏🏻

[@MdShahidShaik]

As someone who overcame anger and short temper, I'd say the key to master emotions is to identify them first. Identifying what you're feeling gives you the time to decide before you take action. I developed this by meditating and being conscious and concentrating on the present, most of the time. Hope this helps someone :)

@@26jagriti21 The improved quality of life which I gained by being mindful kept me motivated most of the time. My ability to observe and analyse things improved greatly. Quality of my sleep also got better overtime. All these things kept me motivated. I know it's frustrating to keep focused all the time, don't be too harsh to yourself. Be forgiving. Forgive yourself if you act out of your emotions and hurt someone. If you find yourself losing focus, just get back to it whenever you can. Eventually the time in between gets lesser. It takes time and practice but trust me, it gets easier. I hope you overcome your negative emotions and lead a quality life 🙂

There is little good in just punching people in the face with “OMG YOU TOTALLY SHOULD MEDITATE IT’S A LIFECHANGER”. If a person doesn’t understand well what a meditation is from the beginning, they’re going to try it a couple of times, completely out of context, and give up confused and disappointed. Meditation is a tool which you begin to use once you understand well what you want to achieve, not a goal in itself. One should first show the person the importance of understanding their emotions and only then advice meditating as ONE of the possible ways of coming to this understanding.

I love your pragmatic approach to philosophy. It’s sooo beautiful! Philosophy is my background. And I think something youwere touching on was in the realm of epistemology. How we come to know what we know, and being aware of the fact that our invisible constructs are arbitrary really allows us to accept the possibility that we and all may be wrong about any given thing and that it is therefore important to listen, learn and be patient.

[@anthonytaylor3219]

One can listen, learn, and potentially alter natural reactions. However, the extent that emotional actions are altered through such an understanding is, in my opinion, optimistic. Emotional reactions draw from our very nature, and by definition rely on impulses, impulses that are controlled by our innate Being. An example that is commonly understandable is the way that music manages to alter ones mood, in a way that is somewhat self-evidently uncontrollable. Consequently, I am skeptical of the extent to which one can react to emotional situations in a manner distinguishable from our innate natural Being. You might say I have narrowed the question at hand to reactionary emotional scenarios, and you'd be right. In less emotionally sensitive situations a rational and logical approach is key in changing the ways we see the world.

[@PutingPinoy]

I replied pwedeng Philosophy mismo. Depende sa school mo. Sa university ko May Philosophy kami. Mayroon ba kayong Philosophy course??

[@mccama19]

I think it's interesting that the person from the impoverished family is portrayed as un-giving, un-empathetic, and cut throat, while the person who grew up in the wealthy family is portrayed in as altruistic, giving, and empathetic. Statistics and general observation of reality says otherwise. People who grow up in less privileged families are more likely to give to others and much more likely to give to strangers. One of the reasons for this is because people that grow up in low income neighborhoods are surrounded by examples of what happens when a family has financial problems. They see why people have financial problems and they might even see the financial down fall and homelessness of a family. When a child grows up watching their friends, neighbors, and family financially struggling, they are naturally more likely to be empathetic when they are approached by a stranger that is experiencing a financial crisis.

[@cantin8697]

Indeed. I'm someone who suffers from mental illnesses a lot. I have a lot of help too. According to the video I should be unempathetic to others with mental illness. But I used to want to be a Teaching Assistant, for, you guessed it, people with mental illness. (But others wanted me to 'actually use your intelligence because you could get further in life in that' to quote.) I don't think that helping others really comes from privilege. A rich person may help because of, say, religion. But they might also not due to lack of understanding of the poor. Believing that hard work always gets you places but privilege also plays a huge role. A poor person may help because they understand the person's situation. But they may also not because of the survival of the fittest mentality. They want to get rich as soon as possible because they long for that life and see it as complete heaven and all of their problems will be solved. There's too many possibilities.

after watching this I realise my emotional intelligence is actually one of the things about myself I do like. My resilience. I’ve been pushed down but I’ve always gotten back up, trauma, abuse or heartbreak I’ve somehow lifted myself out of the depths and thought “how am I going to learn from this?”. I always knew dwelling on something or restricting yourself to one thinking pattern is dangerous, you must look at all directions you could take. Which has also led me to become a very empathetic human. I know I haven’t perfected it yet but I’m still working on it, and it is something I will work on for the rest of my life.

[@JosiahSCooper]

My understanding is from emotional maturity: Being able to feel your emotions, without passively, aggressively, obsessively reacting to them. It has nothing to do with concepts. Being open minded is good for allowing new thoughts. Being open hearted is great for allowing new emotions. Being in the present moment is about accepting all of this for what it is, in awareness, and not needing to act on it. Regardless of whether you know people's stories, you can connect through understanding, through experience and presence.

[@JosiahSCooper]

@@abstract271 Empathy is the end result. You can't just be present and open-minded and expect to understand someone, but it's a beginning.

[@JosiahSCooper]

@@abstract271 It seems that way. You have to start by looking at yourself and being with what you think and feel. You can't expect to understand anyone else or yourself, if you never listen. New thoughts and ideas are less important, but observation-without doubt and assumption-is critical to learning.

[@JosiahSCooper]

@@abstract271 Thoughts necessarily assume the nature of reality, unless they are used merely as pointers, for observation. There's a fundamental uncertainty when it comes to thinking, which uses belief and faith and doubt and suspicion, to uphold itself. In other words: You can't know what you don't know. The only thing that's absolutely certain is the apparent, immediate moment of awareness-but to take anything for granted or assume beyond it-is still dabbling in mental games, pretend, and fantasy. Sure, it's fun to use words, and it works to feel less lonely-but I'm not going to say or claim-that I know a damn thing.

[@JosiahSCooper]

@@abstract271 The mind attempts to know through descriptions with words that assume its very nature to begin with. "You can't know what you don't know" means for everything you think you know, there is always something-inevitably-that can make it uncertain and doubtful, if you're being truly genuine and honest with integrity to the methodological formula of absolute rationality, which is: observation, deduction, and inference, over and over, forever and ever. Remember that: forever and ever. It's cyclical mind, ego jerk games. Try fantasy football instead.

My personal view is somewhere inbetween of those 2 men. I believe that luck plays a lot of role in someone success and failure. So I won't compliment successful people before I knew the story, especially if they get there because of their rich parents. And I won't be so hard on poor people, as they're just not in the correct environment and time. But, I also believe that luck can be raised by effort. Never to a 100%, but raised to an extend that you have a high probability of being successful. So if people are successful by hard work, they earn the respect because what they do actually changes the outcome of their life. And poor people is not always free of blame. I believe they have at least some fault of their own that they ends up in that position. Like maybe they don't learn enough, didn't see small opportunities, wrong life decisions, or other stuff.

[@devilgaming5972]

Exactly

[@TheRABIDdude]

But can you blame the poor person for those character flaws? Is it their fault that they're not as business savvy, motivated or intelligent as the average man? Everything we are is a combination of our genetics and the way we were brought up. Some people were born motivated, or were raised to value it. Others were not. I'm not sure you can ever really hold a person accountable for their bad life decisions, which makes it all the sadder that the emotional pain they experience as a result of those decisions is so very real.

[@dave6222]

dont we all?

[@skylible]

TheRABIDdude Hmm.. when I think about it over again, while not all people is free of blame, it's unproductive to blame others. It just strokes your ego. I got a better proposal. Whatever the cause of that person becoming poor, we should help them. No one wants to be poor no matter if it's because of fate or their own mistake. As long as they don't keep repeating mistakes that make then poor again.

[@JoeNoshow27]

While true independence doesn't exist, (for example, our existence relied on a long sequence of ancestors), the notion of personal responsibility is a social tool used to make people feel guilty about themselves for failing to meet society's expectations. Given that humans are averse to pain, they naturally try to avoid the guilt and shame involved with feeling personally responsible for their perceived failures. Additionally, when they do attain success, the myth of it being the product of personal decision causes them to feel proud and confident; which is motivating, because it's pleasurable. In reality, humans are deterministic animals thinking, feeling and behaving due to a collection of cellular interactions that have evolved over the course of billions of years. The sense of free will, or personal agency, is just a sense. Free will itself doesn't exist, because it'd defy the laws of physics. (Energy doesn't come from nothing, it has to be transferred from one system to another. Therefore, perpetual motion devices are impossible and free will is essentially a perpetual motion device.) So, no one is really responsible for anything, because no one can control or modify the fundamental laws, or immutable workings, of nature. We are the symptoms of nature; not the conductors of it. But, the notion of free will and personal responsibility are effective social devices for motivating people to behave the way that other humans want. And so we have a society built on the false premise of individualism despite the survival and flourishing of the human race being built and sustained solely because of collectivist efforts derived from a sequence of deterministic and indeterminately quantum events. If you're thinking to yourself, "this guy must be a totally dependent, lazy and unscrupulous drain on society", then you're really only proving my point. These messages are meant to make me feel guilty and ashamed, just as they make you feel guilty and ashamed, so as to motivate us to fulfill the expectations of the more influential members of our species. I heed the call, to varying degrees, because I cannot help being a human evolved to fulfill the expectations of others for the sake of my own survival.

to be aware and understanding of your own emotions is one of the best skills to know

[@TheRABIDdude]

Interesting video, but it's mistitled. This has so very little to do with emotions. It's much more about managing world views and treatment of others. If you want to know how to handle emotions, look into CBT and you'll see what I mean.

[@trentonkrzyzowski6778]

My man. This explains what someone who understands their emotion does, not the emotions they're experiencing.

[@kiinfaysal8389]

Since you mentioned CBT you should know that it works by being aware of how your perceptions lead to emotions/behaviours.

[@TheRABIDdude]

@@kiinfaysal8389 Watching the video back more closely, it does have CBT themes in it, but they're not obvious to see. I think it's because he picked such a convoluted example. In particular, I don't think the link to anger at 1:56 is very intuitive. I'd expect that man to feel impartial neglect for the homeless man, not a strong emotional response. That's my subjective opinion, BUT the fact that the rest of his actions (and the rest of the video) would still make sense if you omitted his anger goes to show that emotion is not the key part of the video. Also, I really disagree with 4:22. The man never uses anger to make himself stronger in this video. Perhaps the other man does use compassion to make kind acts, but to say he intentionally uses compassion as a tool conflicts with the video's previous explanation of an event and world view preceding and invoking an emotional response. The only concept comparable to tool usage in this video is a person intentionally switching between world views to suit a situation in front of them, sort of like described at 4:54, to experience a desired emotion. CBT breaks life down into: Event Reactive thought (based on world views) Emotional response Behavioral response E.g. Event: A woman pushes in front of you in a queue Reactive thought: "This *&%! thinks I'm too weak to stand up for myself" Emotional response: Unflinching rage Behavioral response: You dribble in her handbag when she's not looking with CBT... Event: A woman pushes in front of you in a queue Reactive thought: "This *&%! thinks I'm too weak to stand up for myself" Emotional response: Anger Reflective thought: "I'm only angry because I feel insulted, yet this woman probably isn't doing this to spite me. She might be ill-mannered, or she might just be in a rush. Either way, I should feel sympathy for her and not make this about me." Behavioral response: You smile, then dribble in her handbag when she's not looking Practicing positive reflective thoughts regularly will reduce the intensity of your emotional responses and, with time, some reactive thoughts can be outright replaced with more positive ones.

Alexander is basically my grandma and Joseph is me. Really, you described us perfectly. We always fight with each other. I'm always trying my best to listen to her and not say she's wrong, but she always seems to flip a nerve inside me. It's hard, but this video inspired me to try harder. I always knew that once I understood her point of view on the world, my whole perspective will change. I'll try to ask her about herself and her experiences and then, maybe, I'll be able to control my emotions with her. I read that love is understanding. So I believe with understanding, LOVE, we can control our emotions and fix our relationships. And yes, that means that we should not assume what the other person is thinking.

I think in order to master emotions we have to learn not to take them personally. If they’re negative emotions try to distant ourselves emotionally to think rationally and if it’s a positive emotion try to take it for what it is and not let it go to our ego. Of course, it’s easier said than done specially in the heat of the moment, but overtime it becomes a useful habit and eventually bring peace of mind.

[@theloneindividual]

Emotions usually govern our life, especially the strong ones. But it is important to keep in mind that emotions are not really ours. They come and go, so hinder negative emotions and let go of the positive emotions, for trying to hold on to a specific emotion will only cause you to want more. This can often lead to misery. Hard as it is, you can still gain some control over your emotions. Practicing stoicism can also help. Very well put lines tho.

After that lesson I started taking some view points from the second story but not entirely removing my old mind set.
