I'm an Aries and in my younger years I read that our tendencies are to respond to hastily without thinking which may not work out in our favor so I trained myself not to be quick to respond. It has made me an even more quiet person as I also have no friends, I prefer it that way. It has gotten me through some situations though as I have been challenged in the past when I went out at night and just didn't respond to some people picking a fight on a few occasions that they just left around me probably because they thought I was crazy when I didn't respond but yet stayed there😮, it has its downsides though as I've been told stuff sometimes and really thought before I responded but in the end didn't and afterwards wished I said the first things that were on my lips...smh

[@asas14444]

so make people hate you by being silent?

[@madbitcrypto]

I believe in most cases it is right to be silent in hasty situations to give yourself time to think. But this silence thing is trending because social interactions are not healthy at the moment. Narcissistic behavior is rising and spreading due to conditioning most people are not aware of.

Right now my life is surrounded by difficult situations and intense changes. Lots of obstacles and difficult decisions. But I've been meditating for years and take cold showers every morning. I also read sacred Pali texts and also listen to Pali chants online. I see my difficulties as challenges. They barely bother me. It is what it is. Rather, my difficulties have motivated me to meditate deeper and longer. That's all you can do. Everything works out in the end. In this life or in the next. Breathe. Be still. Be grateful.

I face challenging situations at my office everyday. The work politics, the narrow minded colleagues, the selfishness and so many irritating situations used to frustrate me a lot. But then I realized it's actually doing me harm, no one else. So I started controlling my reaction to the situation. I can't change people. But I can change the way I react.

[@maithantrip6821]

Trust me.. Dont't control your emotions always. Sometimes you have to express how you feel about someone or somebody to get them improved. Sometimes controlling your emotions can hurt you extremely

[@332ndcompany5]

You need to feel your emotions and create a good response. For instance if you are sad, you'll need to cry that hour or later that day.

[@sossiepie2243]

Control doesn't mean suppress every emotion and be like a rock. It simply means understand the situation before reaction so that only the most relevant emotion and action is used. For example If a random person simply tries to comment your dress or shoes or anything you need to first analyze whether he may be right and actually giving a good advice or is he simply poking at you. If he's simply poking at you, he just wants to ruin your day and make himself feel superior, so you have 3 choices, get angry and fight, roast him back and put some manners in him, or keep ignoring him and go with your day. Most people never go beyond the first option and always end up fighting as that's the first emotion that comes to you and it's gonna take complete control. Control doesn't mean suppress, it simply means don't let it overpower your judgement.

@@332ndcompany5 Anger is often a secondary emotion fueled by other emotions such as sadness, embarrassment, insecurities, anxiety, etc. It is crucial to provide attentive listening to those who express anger in order to find out if their anger is just anger, or anger masking another emotion.

This is so true. I faced this situation a lot of times. My family would actually use my reactions as a tool to shift the blame for what ever wrong they did. It happened for almost 22 years. If a plate broke in the kitchen while they were arranging, it was not their fault for dropping it but my fault for keeping it there. These small small things used to bother me so much and I would react furiously. And they used to take advantage of it and the actual mistake gets erased. While my reaction becomes the biggest mistake. This happened for 20 years. And one day I started playing a deaf year to what ever they were saying. Internally it was hurting me. But I stood silent and listened. They were shocked and they even went to an extent of asking me why was I not reacting. Still I was not reacting. It save lost of your energy lot drama and you will be at peace. Now I became a master at being a poker face.

[@el4242]

Easier said than done. Change like that requires a whole rewiring of your mind. But with time and practice, you won't react negatively as often. I've been trying to tame my emotions and even through I still get upset/angry, I actively try to control my reaction to situations that trigger those negative feelings. In the end, you're mostly hurting yourself because you're the one walking around, burdened with all that negativity while the other person is enjoying their life.

[@jwonTh]

I totally agree with you. There should be some ways some how that we can express our upsetness and angriness without harming any relationship that we have and get frustration out of our chest.

[@bob1234881]

You are right it is hard to get the balance and the right outlet. I know I'm 'very good' at not reacting to things, but I forget the outlet part. Talking to a friend, therapist ir anyone really expressing (telling) how I feel really helps.

[@Crimsonblushag]

It's not easy, but it can be practiced. It took me years... I know from experience, and I can vouch for it, that not reacting is the most wonderful release ever! You feel like a particle in the air, floating around freely when you finally achieve it. It's not that I don't get angry, or feel immune to the situation, but I feel my anger cannot fix what's done, and could make it only worse. If it would make you feel any better, I'll share this too. If someone stirred your emotions and pushed your mind into calamity, when you don't react, they will be stewing inside waiting for your reaction... And their wait will be the true excruciating punishment 😅

Feelings are part of being human. I used to label some feelings as good or bad and avoided the 'bad' --thinking that I was bad for having 'bad' emotions. It was when I learned how to see them all as natural and neutral-neither good nor bad, just an emotion, that I was able to allow myself to experience ALL of them. Experiencing an emotion is not the same as reacting from it. Power comes when we learn to recognize, name, and understand where the emotion is coming from and why. What just happened that triggered that emotion? Oftentimes we don't even know how to name an emotion so the frustration leads us to name it as anger, but underneath the anger if we're willing to look ...is the real emotions. Practice asking yourself, "What else?" several times when you are experiencing emotions. The more you can articulate the feelings you are feeling, the more you can understand yourself. The time spent being mindful gives you time to separate from the emotion, process it and DECIDE what to do next. Give yourself permission to sit in an emotion or emotions, especially before quickly reacting. Reacting is often quick, but responding is after you've had time to think. The Bible has been very helpful for me to learn wisdom and see examples of how to handle all sorts of situations. Two other insightful books: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend

Controlling our emotions doesn't mean that we become pokerface and that others cannot read our emotions any more. This also leads to conflicts. Cause others need to be able to recognize our emotions for their own safety. But controlling the emotions means that we aren't victims of our emotions but that we master our reactions by speaking about our emotions that are there just in the moment. I think this is important. The only emotion we are allowed to let float free is happyness and sometimes sadness. But never angryness or fear.

During my healing journey I realized that impulsive reactions come from triggers - from unhealed wounds. For example, I got triggered very easily when people try to feel good about themselves at others expenses. In a work enviornment it would be comething like "I dont want to put in the effort of doing things correctly and idc who that affects". I then realized that my trigger came from childhood. There was a specific situation, where i was happily playing with my friends and my mother angrily pulled me away from then - when she realized that i was not happy about it, but sad that i couldn't play anymore, her anger turned towards me. She took me home to then madly ignore me the rest of the day. As I healed the wounds, I was no longer blindly reacting. Rather, I found that I was able to more clearly descern why I was feeling bad about a situation. And then decided how to react to it. Sometimes this meant to let it go. Other times it meant to clearly and calmly call peoples behaviour out. I guess thats what it really means to control emotions vs suppressing them... Suppressing is like grinding your teeth together and not letting big emotions show, while control comes from a position of inner peace.

[@rasher331]

I think its fair enough to ask for new soup when a fly is in it. Also sometimes when someone continuously upsets you and they are part of a group that you must be involved in, then its important to stand up to someone like that and sometimes you need all the anger you can conjure to do that and stop their behaviour. I think sometimes feeling angry and reacting is appropriate to deal with a situation. People often dont get it until they see a reaction. You can sit back and think about it and deal with it in a refined state but some people wont get it and wont stop until you stand up to them in a way that sends them a message.

With some people, the more respectful and pleasant you are to them, the more they think they can walk over you and treat you like rubbish, its just their nature and the way they were raised unfortunately. This is particularly true in business's where there is not much regulation and there is money and power involved.

The point is not to let your anger get the best of you. It is one thing to be firm with someone who is disruptive or to firmly demand a new bowl of soup, it’s another thing to get so angry about something that you loose control of yourself and do or say things you will regret later.

Yeah, you haven’t learned the lesson if you don’t understand the need to respond not in anger but with calm confidence derived “for me” through meditation.

[@andvan5171]

Thank you for this insightful knowledge. We can tell ourselves to be a better self but going through the motions takes disicpline. I currently am learning to control my own emotions, it takes time but i am hopeful.

Meditation is practicing non-judgmental compassionate awareness. As your practice this, it softens your edges you feel more empathy and you are more likely not to be reacting to situations with anger. You can recognize the sensation of anger building so you quietly do breathing to regain emotional control. You are more balanced with not being too high or too low. You recognize that you are emotionally angry but you don't have to react with anger. Angry words don't create value in the world. Better to be silent with intentional foucus on breathing and awareness of your anger, thoughts can be witnessed with the same awareness as watching a storm pass by...

One thing that has helped me is letting go of my past! Because a lot of people with anger issues is from the past. Letting go of the past helps to change the perspective! Also knowing that nothing is that serious. It has helped me a lot!

How do you let go of the past?

Nothing is that serious? Have you thought this sentence through before making it?

I’m not sure with the “nothing is that serious” part. When you’ve been previously emotionally abused and it took you a while to get out, I don’t think that’s something “nothing serious”

This is not always easily achieved, especially when it involves family or children or money. People have a very hard time holding how they react, especially when it is in the moment the video makes it sound so easy it’s not, especially when you grow up with two parents that only new anger that only knew how to scream and yell and hit in reaction to anything, you learn what they teach and what they taught was to scream yell and get angry. It’s taking me 63 years to realize I don’t have to be that way and it’s caused a lot of pain over the years. I no longer talk to any of my siblings my daughter is estranged from me and I have, no friends because I am an angry person. I have always been angry I no longer care about others because they keep pushing me away because I’m angry. It’s not always easy and this video makes it sound so easy.

[@speak2aaron]

Everything is psychological and stems from your way of thinking. How you perceive something will determine how you feel about it. You can make things positive or negative instantly. You can think of eating chips or candy as something that will make you happy, but you can also think that if you eat the desert, then you will become unhealthy or that you'll have to spend an hour on the treadmill exercising. Just take a moment to think before you act or speak. The brain is so powerful that it literally takes milliseconds to change the outcome.

[@TheVideoSlick]

So if I pick up a piece of dogshit and pretend it's a Snicker's bar and eat it but it still doesn't taste like a Snicker's bar no matter how much I use my mind to convince myself otherwise, it still tastes like dogshit what do I do should I follow up with a nice glass of Labrador lemonade?

[@speak2aaron]

@@TheVideoSlick some people like the taste of things that others perceive to be gross or inedible. At times, it could be an acquired taste, sometimes it's also seen as deranged by others like eating animals or humans. Also, choosing to invest that poop is your choice, unless you're forced to do it. You'd have to break through that mental barrier if you're trying to compete in those shows or contests that reward you for eating grotesque items if you want to win the prize

[@teejaytime9770]

If you want - try to find the calmness behind every thought, feeling and reaction. There is an observing calm part in you that is always there. That helped me a lot to "control" my emotions. In a calm lake you can see the ground. Needed to add this, bc it is not said in this video and I think that it could be helpful. Find your peace again - it is your normal state of being.

Steps to control emotions: No react impulsively, step back, think and respond in thoughtful manner.

[@badriBN333]

Not everyone at anytime we will be in control sometimes we snaps 😢

[@SammieMousie]

@@badriBN333 My parents never taught me how to handle my emotions in a healthy manner. Especially anger. I learned from my parents to yell, throw things, break things, etc. Because of this my temper has been something I've struggled to this day. I'm 34 and I still have trouble controlling my emotions, especially anger. But I work hard every day to NOT let my emotions control me. I've practice so hard everyday to the point where people at work and new friends are shocked that I tell them I have a terrible temper because they cannot imagine it. There are some days where I do snap, when I do lose control and it's okay! Everyone makes mistakes and practicing to control your emotions is not something that's going to happen over night. It's taken me 10 years to get to the point where I am at now. It takes a lot of work and it's something you should take a step at a time, day by day. Losing control does not mean you've failed or you can't do it. It's just one set back and you have to try again.

[@LichtAnker.]

I'm the most tolerant person I know. I never react with anger even if I hurt myself or break something, I don't react at all or laugh about it. Other people cannot upset me because I love unconditionally. I've lived like this for many years and I feel like an alien. The biggest problem is always that other people don't feel that I take them seriously because I don't want to share their anger with something. Then I always have to wait until they have calmed down their injured ego and want to live peacefully next to me again. 🙂 💕☀️

6:28, this was first in the Bible. “He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he who conquers himself than he who takes a city.” “It is better to be patient than powerful. It is better to win control over yourself than over whole cities.” “Better he that is slow to anger, than a hero, and he that ruleth his spirit, than he that captureth a city.” Here’s a few versions of the same verse ❤️ I liked at 10:10 The only failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

[@RLekhy]

So you think Bible is older than Buddha? Buddha was born before 700 BCE and his teachings were collected and composed right after his death. Buddhism reached upto Macedonia (Europe) and Alexandria (Africa) by the 3rd Century BCE. Buddhism has great influence on Greek Philosophies, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Chinese and Japanese philosophies. But we don't know exactly when the Bibles were composed even though they claim several millennium years old. So far no valid evidence. The history of spiritual council and peer reviewing found only in Buddhism, Christians did only after 3rd Century AD.
