Here are five ideas to develop emotional mastery in your life so that you can have a more enduring sense of self and strength. Empathy. The real understanding about ourselves comes from our connection to humanity and the feelings of others. Self-reliance. Remember that you are autonomous. You are the one who controls your focus, attention, time, and actions. Self-confidence. Self-confidence is cultivated when you choose to express who you are. It is defined by the belief that no matter the situation or struggle you find yourself in, you're going to figure it out. Social sharing. Emotional mastery emerges from expressions of vulnerability and self-honesty. Silence will only lead to suffering. Self-talk. Emotional mastery requires that you give yourself cues. Literally tell yourself how to feel and how to respond.
