Things to do when emotions overwhelm you.
We all have strong feeling for something or other. We say and do lot of things in the heat of the moment and later regret. So do not be a slave of our emotions. We should pull back the moment we get the feeling that things are going out of hand.

When we have strong feeling for something we tend to ignore several
aspects of the issue. To prove our point we become irrational and go against truth
and reality.
Think, wait and then respond. When we are overwhelmed by emotions,
we should take a breath, pause and then respond in a dignified manner.
Negative emotions never helps. It only damages. But if we
try to fight or suppress negative emotions it will cling on to us. We need to
shed them. Anger, fear, sadness, fear, depression… all this should clearly studied
and understood. We need to keep a close watch on them. The moment they try to
overwhelm us we should realize it and stop them.
Emotions only overwhelm the wrongly identified self. Am I
this body. No. I am the Supreme Self, which is everpure, and above all duality.
Another person can only hurt your ego. Are you the ego? It is our ignorance that makes us think and feel that another person can hurt us emotionally.
