Feelings and emotions

Why is it important to control your feeling and emotions?

I think that it is important to know how to control our feelings and emotions because our actions define who we are and if we do not know how to control our emotions and feelings they can be generated in bad actions and they can generate problems for us.Self-control is essential in our lives because life takes many turns and very difficult situations will present themselves as well as good situations and self-control helps us in an incredible way.

It is important to know and listen to ourselves to know what we are feeling and to be able to express what we are feeling because if we dont express ourselves , it is when the lack of control of our emotions and feelings arrives and becomes a problem.We have to learn that life is not perfect and that not everything is going to go as we want and we have to have our emotions and feelings under control, we also have to learn that everything in life is temporary and that our feelings and emotions have a beginning and an end.

If we do not know how to control our emotions, it is practically like we have no identity because having identity is knowing who you are and knowing how to control our feelings and emotions, if we do not control our emotions we have bad consequences as a result and many times we hurt people, we regret decisions and etc. So it is important to think before acting.

Emotional intelligence :

Emotional intelligence has been defined, by Peter Salovey and John Mayer, as "the ability to monitor one's own and other people's emotions, to discriminate between different emotions and label them appropriately, and to use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior", is the capability of individuals to recognize their own  emotions and those of others, discern between different feelings and label them appropriately, use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, and manage and/or adjust emotions to adapt to environments or achieve one's goal.

I believe that emotional intelligence is the most important intelligence because knowing yourself is what matters most in this life, and knowing how to listen to ourselves and knowing what we are feeling is the most important thing because ultimately knowing yourself it is what will help you for the rest of your life. Emotional intelligence is the basis of your whole life because almost everything depends on it because your decisions depend on it and life in a nutshell is a path of making decisions.
