Control your emotions, don't let them control you! 3 simple steps to take before you react.

Let me start by saying first I am a huge believer that you have a right to feel what you feel and you should ALWAYS listen to your gut and follow your heart. BUT the problem so many times our emotions take over and we lose track of our real gut feeling or our real feelings in a situation. Keep in mind emotions and feelings are not the same thing although we get them intertwined. You cannot win and attack any problem when you are led by your emotions. If they are leading some how the situation always gets worse and some how it never gets us where the hell we were trying to get in the first place. Truth is, when emotions come up its usually something that at the root is very important to us.. so the EXACT time we need to shut them up and let US take the lead and not them. We should all stand up for ourselves and not shove things under the rug.. but stand up for what you want or feel you deserve without losing the battle before you even start. These steps can only take a few minutes, even if it sounds like they will not, get past the first step and the rest come quickly and even more quick as we train our minds. Come on now, isn't the whole reason we disagree or argue is because we want to win the disagreement. These tools get you so much more of what you want and they are simple first steps.
