      There was some solid content. However, it was so poorly written it was distracting. It’s a shame, with some editing it could be a solid little book about a very important topic.

      Really good points and a lot to gain from this book, but it is unfortunately poorly written and articulated ; resulting in a need to decipher, extract, and reword each segment in order to concisely capture the key points.

    Master Your Emotions - Eric Robertson

    Introduction

    Emotions are what make up a person and define their behaviors - at least that’s what the psychologists say. But is this entirely true? My theory on emotions is that they don’t have to control our lives. We need to be able to understand them before we can control or even cope with them. When our emotions get the best of us, then we may act on our impulsive urges which results in irrational and illogical behavior. Some of the emotions we can experience are sadness, anger, happiness, and fear.

    You will learn that all emotions stem from two main emotions which get broken up into four sub-emotions. The two main emotions that our other emotions revolve around are love and fear. When these two emotions are thrown off balance or when you find it difficult to control one of them, everything can be thrown out of proportion. Before you can get back on track it is best to try to understand each individual emotion and to be more aware of what’s happening inside your mind (thoughts) and in your body (physical symptoms).

    The ability to control and understand your emotions is to have a high EQ level. EQ is known as Emotional Intelligence and with high levels of EQ, you are less likely to act on your impulses and be irritable with yourself or others. Emotional intelligence is the ability to be aware of your own emotions and control them while also being willing to understand the emotions of others around you.

    This book will help you develop your EQ. It is outlined in an easy to read format so that you can look at an emotion, define it, figure out why it’s necessary, why it’s hard to control and even when to just sit with an emotion. The ability to control and cope with your emotions is a powerful skill to achieve and actually promotes success and happiness.

    Emotional intelligence has changed many lives for the better because it allows you to develop five key skills needed to be aware of yourself and others. These characteristics are self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. The characteristics of emotional intelligence will be defined and explained in much more detail in the first chapter. It’s hard to understand and learn about our emotions when we don’t understand emotional intelligence. As you read through this book make sure to keep in mind that every emotion and every skill you want to work on takes practice and patience to overcome or sit with. Without emotional intelligence, we wouldn’t be able to cope with or even understand our emotions. These emotions could spiral out of control and just take over - that’s a world in which we would all be a bunch of rageaholics or depressed zombies.

    Think of a time when you became surprised by something which then made you really happy or extremely sad. The emotions that you experienced may have made you annoy others or do things that you regret. With that regret, you could have spiraled to make more poor decisions which may have then made you angry. Then you took that anger, tried to control it but because your EQ is unbalanced you entered a situation where you felt you had to defend yourself, then your fear took over. You broke down into a panic attack which then leads to trust issues due to the blame on others based on the original surprising experience.

    If this sounds even remotely similar to any type of circumstance or scenario you went through, then this book is definitely for you. The information included has been thoroughly researched and makes for an easy-to-read experience. This book was designed to be read with patience and returned to as needed so you can go over the emotions you struggle with the most, learn, and crawl out of these disastrous situations. Each chapter is laid out for an individual emotion. This is because when you are experiencing an uncontrollable emotion, you can flip to the chapter, read your favorite part and remind yourself to move forward.

    My promise to you is that by the time you are done reading this book you will have enough knowledge to truly understand each emotion better and how to control your emotions when they try to take over. You will never experience an out of control emotional experience again - or almost never - after reading and taking to heart the information in this book. Being confused is no fun so learn a little, live a little, and become who you want by learning about your emotions rather than allowing them to control you.

    Chapter One:  Emotional Map

    We experience emotions every single day of our lives. When someone shows us the unexpected, we become shocked or surprised. If something great happens or someone tells us a funny joke, we laugh and are happy. If we go through a breakup or a divorce we become sad. If someone or something frightens us we become scared and untrusting. Some emotions are overwhelming and hard to control, whereas other emotions are easier to manage. For example, if you are happy, the only way this emotion can spiral out of control is if you laugh too much and are just on an emotional high, full of positive feelings to the extent that you cannot control your excitement. However, some emotions can be more difficult to deal with, such as sadness, which can turn into depression (if not managed), and anger, which can turn into rage issues (again, if not managed).

    So, what are emotions you ask? Emotions are feelings we experience based on the situations we are in or the outcomes we experience. Happiness is the feeling we get when we have experienced a satisfying outcome, whereas sadness is the feeling we get when we don’t get what we expected. Another definition of emotions according to William James is, you feel what you feel based on the physical happenings in your body such as heart rate, breathing rate, sweating, and hormone levels. In this point of view or opinion, happiness, sadness, anger, regret, etc. are not judgments based on your situation but about how you react to (or feel about) your bodily sensations.

    Of course, these are just theories based around emotions but who says that emotions cannot involve both? You can be upset or happy about a situation or outcome based on what you expected or judged would happen - and you can feel upset or happy about the physiological changes that happen in your body. What if your body changes its heart rate because you are undergoing some unexpected situation? What if the situations you are experiencing are causing bodily changes thus impacting your mood? So, how do you control them? How do we know which emotion is which, since so many can be defined or wrapped up into one big emotion such as happiness or anger, love or fear? People with high emotional intelligence skills are people who can control their emotions and are able to define exactly which emotion they are experiencing. However, emotional intelligence is not the only way to control and define emotions.

    What is Emotional Intelligence?

    Emotional intelligence is also known as the ‘Emotional Quotient’ and is the ability to control and supervise your own emotions along with being able to monitor other peoples’ emotions. EQ is also the ability to differentiate between - and label the different emotions - in a deeper sense. For example, someone with high EQ may be able to interpret feeling angry as actually feeling disappointed. In another sense, emotional intelligence is the ability to maneuver your thinking patterns and behavior or actions accordingly to influence others. We use emotional intelligence to connect with coworkers, have deep and trustworthy relationships, and make our best effort to discipline our children. Emotional intelligence comes in handy when we strive to create boundaries with the people we are unsure about and empathize with the people we care about.

    Emotional intelligence comes with five different components:

    ●  Self-Awareness

    ●  Self-Regulation

    ●  Motivation

    ●  Empathy

    ●  Social Skills

    To be self-aware means that you can recognize and understand your own emotions with a large ‘emotional vocabulary.’ Essentially, it is the foundation of what emotional intelligence is and what it represents. Regulating our emotions, motivating ourselves, empathizing with others, and socializing appropriately all revolves around being more self-aware, which is why it is the crucial element of emotional intelligence.

    The ability to self-regulate is the next step in learning how to be emotionally intelligent or to have a high ‘EQ.’ It defines you as having the ability to manage or act accordingly to your emotions and that of others, not just defining or being aware of them. People who are unable to self-regulate their emotions are people who let their emotions get the best of them. Further, such people may experience such high levels of emotion that they act impulsively on them and make challenging situations even worse.

    Motivation is the level of emotional intelligence that someone can easily be encouraged by their own selves
