Discover Your Infinite Emotional Power

Humans consist of three distinct yet interconnected parts. We are spirits with souls who inhabit physical bodies. As spiritual beings, we therefore have an eternal existence. This pertains to our spirit and soul. Our bodies, on the other hand, are perishable. Yet, ironically, society places a high value on the physical aspect of humans, resulting in problems with the human soul. The soul consists of the mind, personality, will, and emotions.

Many people nowadays have no sense of identity and, as a result, are not in control of their emotions. Instead, their emotions rule. What most individuals fail to understand is that they are beyond their emotions. The underlying issue is that most people are out of touch with their essence—who they truly are—due to negative experiences that have left them with an empty, insatiable void.

In truth, our emotions are connected to our thoughts. How you feel is determined or influenced by how and what you think. People serve their desires with their minds and worship their ambitions (or achievements) with their hearts. What’s more, people who can’t manage their emotions also struggle with speaking and thinking positively. Indeed, emotional management takes time and effort. But it all boils down to desiring change; if and when you desire change, it will be a priority. Here are a few beneficial techniques to tap into your infinite emotional power:

1.  Develop an examined lifestyle. 
An examined lifestyle is one in which introspection is practised on a daily basis. As a result, an examined lifestyle denotes intentional, moment-by-moment soul analysis. To live an examined life, you must be conscious of your thoughts. Being cognizant of your thought life entails being aware of your thoughts and responding positively to them.

2.  Hold yourself accountable.

It's always easier to point the finger at others. Even if others are wrong, how can your behaviour influence others positively? Accountability comes with maturity, and I’ve discovered that roughly 30% of adults (if not less) are mature. You see, maturity is one of those things you kind of have to figure out on your own. It takes experience and divine wisdom.

3.  Manage your emotions.
Your emotions reflect the state of your mind. When you can’t control your emotions, this means you have no control over how or what you think, which is a dangerous situation to be in. Managing your emotions is tied to how you think; when you’re in control of your thoughts, you’ll be in control of your emotions.

To successfully manage your emotions, you need to habitually monitor your thoughts and behaviour moment by moment. For instance, why do you think the way you do? What is a major influence on your mindset? Why do you get anxious when a certain topic comes up, or why do you become emotional when a person you care about is mentioned? These are issues you need to be conscious of and have answers to.

4.  Adhere to a moral code.
Unfortunately, we live in an era where morality is on the verge of extinction. People’s hearts are evil, always conjuring up wicked thoughts! In case you didn't know, the heart is where a person conceives ideas or attitudes. Meaning that no one ever gives birth to something they haven’t already imagined.

Tragically, most people are unaware of how much their emotions influence their moral decisions. The average person lacks empathy, and lying has become as natural as breathing. In essence, empathy is the primary moral emotion that drives prosocial behaviours such as philanthropy and generosity.
