#55 Controlling Your Emotions | التحكم ب...

FAHAD ALENEZI
About this episode

I understand that controlling your emotions and mastering them can be incredibly challenging. Emotions often overwhelm us, resembling a vast and powerful river or ocean in which we find ourselves drowning. We become deeply immersed in our feelings, whether it be happiness, sadness, anger, anxiety, or depression. In those moments, it feels as though these emotions completely engulf us, leaving little room for anything else. We become the emotion itself, allowing it to embody us.

However, I believe that to some extent, we can learn to control our emotions and become their masters. The question then becomes, how can we achieve this mastery? One approach is to step back and view ourselves as an outside observer, consciously recognizing and acknowledging our current emotional state. By doing so, we can add a task to our thoughts, directing our attention towards understanding how the emotion is affecting us. We can then choose to challenge its control over us and aim to exert our own control over it.

 

أتفهم أن التحكم في عواطفك وإتقانها يمكن أن يكون أمرًا صعبًا للغاية. غالبًا ما تغمرنا المشاعر، تشبه نهرًا أو محيطًا شاسعًا وقويًا نجد أنفسنا نغرق فيه. ننغمس بعمق في مشاعرنا، سواء كانت السعادة أو الحزن أو الغضب أو القلق أو الاكتئاب. في تلك اللحظات ، يبدو الأمر كما لو أن هذه المشاعر تبتلعنا تمامًا، ولا تترك مجالًا لأي شيء آخر. نصبح العاطفة بحد ذاتها، ونسمح لها بتجسيدنا.

ومع ذلك، أعتقد أنه يمكننا إلى حد ما تعلم التحكم في عواطفنا وأن نصبح أسيادها. يصبح السؤال إذن كيف يمكننا تحقيق هذا الإتقان؟ تتمثل إحدى المقاربات في التراجع والنظر إلى أنفسنا كمراقب خارجي، يدرك بوعي حالتنا العاطفية الحالية ويعترف بها. من خلال القيام بذلك، يمكننا إضافة مهمة لأفكارنا، وتوجيه انتباهنا نحو فهم كيفية تأثير المشاعر علينا. يمكننا بعد ذلك اختيار تحدي سيطرتها علينا والهدف إلى ممارسة سيطرتنا عليها.
