Have you ever caught yourself reacting emotionally to a situation and wished you had more control?
have you ever caught your self - 스스로 알아차린적 있나요?
reacting emotionally to a situdation - 상황에 감정적으로 반응하는지
and wished you had more control? 그리고 더 통제력을 가지고 싶다고 바래본적은요?
We all have.
We’re all very familiar with emotions, that’s because we feel before we learn to speak. Whatever you do, they’re always with you, shaping your actions and thoughts.
Emotions are essential to break the language barrier because they transmit non-verbal messages that are understood universally.
However, we all had those moments when anger or anxiety took over us and made us react without rational thinking.
Emotions can be dangerous if you let them be so.
rational thinking 합리적 사고
They can make us or break us
Thus, it’s important to learn how in handle them. Let’s see how you can manage your emotions better.
Thus 이렇게 하여, 이와 같이,따라서, 그러므로 (=hence, therefore)
Be more mindful.
I’ve said it probably a hundred times before, but it’s never enough.
mindful
Mindfulness is key
It’s such an important skill that you can’t go wrong with it.
Practice any form of meditation, and you’ll be amazed at how your life has changed.

By being aware of yourself and your thoughts, you will begin to notice how certain emotions arise, their effects on your body, and when they start to disappear.
You should be able to recognize specific emotions and their triggers just by reflecting on your feelings.
When angry, you should be able to recognize it and act on it.
Observe how it makes you feel, and calm yourself down.
just by reflecting on your feelings
just by 단지~함으로서
reflect 비추다,반사하다,나타나다.
act on~ ,~에 따라 행동하다.“Care for your psyche...know thyself, for once we know ourselves, we may learn how to care for ourselves.” - Socrates.
psyche [ˈsaɪki] 마음 정신, 심령
thyself [ ðaɪˈself ] [옛글] = yourself
for once 한번, 일단
“네 정신을 돌보라... 네 자신을 알라, 일단 우리 자신을 알면 우리 자신을 돌보는 방법을 배울 수 있을 것이기 때문이다.”
Become familiar with your underlying self.
What makes me angry or happy? How does anxiety affect me?
Why do I feel shame when I do this?
underlying self
Become familiar with+ noun - 익숙해지다, 친숙해지다 (무언가를 자주 접하거나 배우면서 익숙함을 느끼게 되는 상황)
Don’t judge yourself, instead become your own best friend.
Stop Labelling
When noticing an emotion, don’t label it as “good” or “bad”.
There is neither “good” nor “bad”, there are just emotions.
Ther is neiter A nor B, 둘다 부정하는 내용
For instance, when spotting anxiety arising in you, don’t stress about it because this will exacerbate its effects.
spotting
exacerbate 약화시키다
Instead, acknowledge what you’re feeling and accept that this is part of the human experience.
What you’re feeling is temporary and will probably disappear within 15 minutes.
Accepting that emotions are normal and will pass away will make you less influenced by their effects. It’s natural process that occurs to everyone and is helpful for our existence, so don’t try to suppress it.
pass away 사라지다 , 사라지다 (존재하던 것이)

Mastering your emotions doesn’t mean suppressing them - it’s about understanding them and accepting them for what they are, just emotions.
By becoming more mindful recognizing your triggers, and avoiding judging your emotions, you develop emotional resilience.

resilience [rɪˈzɪliəns] (충격, 부상에서의) 회복력, 탄성
Remember, emotions are a core part of the human experience, guiding and shaping our actions.
Just like every great thing - emotional mastery won’t happen overnight but needs consistent practice and reflection.
