    About this ebook

    Our emotions are powerful and they can lead us feelings and thoughts of happiness and joy or sadness and devastation.

    Everyone of us are faced with not only our own emotions but the emotions of others, as well. Learning to master our emotions and how to appropriately respond to the emotions of others is critical to living a successful and happy life. Failure to master our emotions can lead to poor physical health and depression. The good news is that we do not have to be creatures of emotion based reaction behavior but can live the life of success, prosperity and love we deserve.

    Emotional Mastery will lead you to awareness of the root cause or triggers of your emotions and give you effective methods for dealing with them and increasing your emotional intelligence. Contrary to the belief of some, our emotions are not necessarily the result of upbringing, social status, or environment. Our emotions should not control us but serve us giving us more management over our lives and improving our relationships.

    Each of us have within us the power to rein over our emotions and redirect them to become powerful tools of enhanced self-awareness, rapid problem and conflict resolution, influential interpersonal skills, stronger relationships, career success, and enable us to live the happy life we all dream of.

    You have the power to rein over your emotions and even control them. You have the power to be happy, even when you think it’s impossible, and you have the power to change the way you feel. You will soon find that even the most difficult circumstances will be handled with maturity and can no longer harm you or your physical well being.

     Decide today to raise your Emotional Intelligence stop negative emotional reaction behavior and become the Master of your success and happiness.

    Introduction – Why You Should Read This Book

    ·mo·tion əˈmōSH(ə)n/ noun

    1. a natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships with others.

    she was attempting to control her emotions

    synonyms: feeling, sentiment, reaction, response, passion

    ––––––––

    2. instinctive or intuitive feeling as distinguished from reasoning or knowledge.

    responses have to be based on historical insight, not simply on emotion

    synonyms: instinct, intuition, gut feeling, sentiment

    ––––––––

    Emotions are a human trait evolved from our earliest ancestral survival instincts. Emotions developed as tools to analyze and respond quickly to our circumstances and environment, in order to defend ourselves or flee. Just as in eons past, emotions are something we cannot live without, even during those times when we wish we could.

    ––––––––

    Many of us struggle with our emotions. We try to gain some semblance of control over our emotions, in order to respond in an appropriate manner of our choosing, versus off the cuff responses that are not arrived at with logic and maturity. We are all looking to be happier and at peace with our lives. Developing our Emotional IQ is a great way to put our emotions, and our logic in balance, thus improving our relationships with others and our entire lives.

    ––––––––

    Many have not learned how to feel their emotions and face them with an awareness of what they really are. When we fail to master our emotions, we find that it can lead to damaged relationships and negative responses that can and often do hinder our careers, life goals, and our happiness in general.

    ––––––––

    This book can be used as a resource to learn how to deal with our emotions in a constructive manner, and in fact, master them to raise our emotional intelligence and live happier lives.

    ––––––––

    When we master our emotions, we master our lives.

    Chapter 1: Feel Your Emotions

    ––––––––

    "If your emotional abilities aren't in hand, if you don't have self-awareness,

    If you are not able to manage your distressing emotions,

    If you can't have empathy and have effective relationships,

    Then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far."

    Daniel Goleman

    Several definitions of emotions have been created to explain this abstract concept. A slight distinction separates feelings and emotions. A feeling is the response of an emotion, while an emotion involves an experience or situation, its interpretation, its perception and response to the particular experience.

    ––––––––

    Emotions affect us on various levels, as they involve a psychological, as well as, a physiological attribute. Emotions interconnect human feelings, thoughts, and actions, serving as warning signals for human beings to acknowledge awareness of the reality surrounding them. These feelings guide our actions through the proper application of our intellectual faculties such as perception, thought, memory, and reason.

    ––––––––

    Emotions guide our thinking patterns, our actions, and thus our reaction behaviors. They also affect our physical bodies. People who tend to ignore, repress, or dismiss emotions are prone to develop negative physical illness symptoms.

    ––––––––

    Negative emotions of fear, frustration, anxiety, and depression lead to brain chemical reactions,
