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

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

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.

Understand the Nature of Emotions

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

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

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

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".....
