Surround yourself with positive influences that support emotional growth.Example: Engage with friends who encourage and uplift you, rather than those who drag you down. I personally believe this cause good companionship can change your life. Make few good best friends.Here I want to dedicate a line to my best friend, "जिंदगी मैं कुछ कमा रखा है, एक कोहिनूर को अपना दोस्त बनारखा है".....

Create a Supportive Environment (Most Important)

Changing the way you look at a situation can alter how you feel about it. Example: Seeing a job loss not as a failure but as an opportunity to find a better fit can shift you from despair to optimism.

Shift Your Perspective

Regularly reflecting on what you are thankful for can enhance your overall emotional well-being.Example: Keeping a gratitude journal where you write three things you're thankful for each day. If possible go to your nearest hospital or crematory once in a month. This is a personal suggestion, not in the book.

Practice Gratitude

Accepting doesn't mean agreeing; it means acknowledging your feelings without judgment. Example: If you’re feeling jealous, instead of berating yourself, accept the feeling as a signal of something you might value or desire.

Accept Your Emotions:

Practicing mindfulness helps you stay present and reduces rumination and worry. Example: Practicing daily meditation to root yourself in the now. Basic Pranayama for 15 minutes daily is enough.

Embrace Mindfulness

S: Stop what you're doing. T: Take a few deep breaths. O: Observe your thoughts and feelings. P: Proceed with an action that helps. Example: In an argument, instead of reacting immediately, stop, breathe, and assess before responding calmly.

Use the STOP Method:

Some stress is beneficial and can drive you to achieve your goals (known as eustress). Example: The stress of a deadline can motivate you to complete your work efficiently.

Foster Optimal Stress

Resilience is the ability to bounce back from negative emotional experiences.Example: After a setback, focusing on what can be learned rather than dwelling on the failure.

Develop Emotional Resilience

Your thoughts influence your emotions; interrogate the evidence for your thoughts. Example: If you think you'll never succeed, challenge this by listing your past achievements.

Challenge Unhelpful Thoughts

Exercise can help manage emotions by releasing endorphins and reducing stress hormones. Example: Going for a brisk walk or run when feeling anxious to calm your nervous system.

Use Physical Activity

Emotions are temporary and based on your current thoughts. Example: When you think of a happy memory, you feel joy; conversely, thinking about a loss brings sadness.
