Self-management cannot be achieved without having a clear understanding of your own emotions and how they can impact your life and other people. So, once you learn how to manage your emotions in such a way as to generate positive outcomes for yourself and the others, you will be able to identify and address any problems before they become destructive.

The very act of becoming aware the fact that you are feeling a negative emotion goes a long way to preventing you from losing control of your own behaviour.

For a multitude of reasons, a lot of people nowadays find it hard to relax. Some people even have a hard time managing their emotions but you have to remember that you can in fact control your mental state and your emotions in order to function well in society.

Even the simple reason of being stuck in a traffic jam or having to wait in a line can cause some to overreact. However, you have to face the fact that people do overreact to situations like this.

Recent studies have found that anger can shorten a person’s life and it can also contribute to heart related diseases and high blood pressure. In order to prevent this from happening and minimise the risk, you have to learn how to relax and learn coping strategies for controlling your anger.

Through continual mental training, you can achieve a good self-control as well and you will learn to relax the whole body-mind-spirit system. You will easily attain the alpha and even delta mind states. Researches have found that in the alpha state your mind is at its most efficient and most relaxed. You have to know that you always experience this kind of state as you go to bed.

When you are in the alpha mind state, you will be able to focus on the work you are doing and you will also be able to block out any distraction. For example, if you are preparing for an important exam, you can get your mind to the alpha state so that you can fully relax and concentrate on the presentation you are doing and block out other internal and external distractions.
