Emotional Stability!

                                   

We go through a series of tests to actually be called emotionally stable. What exactly is being emotionally stable? Emotional stability refers to the state of being able to have the appropriate feelings about the common experiences and being able to act in a rational manner. Stability means to be emotionally and physically predictable and not readily moved.
People that are emotionally stable are able to tolerate the day to day strains and stresses by not getting emotionally upset, anxious or angry. It’s a state of mind, where a person stays calm, doesn't overreact, be it the matter of happiness or sadness. It can be interpreted as a state of being content or satisfied.

Why do we need being emotionally stable? Present times are those where one is surrounded by problems and disappointments in every walk of life, so for escaping the sadness and depression, we need to be stable like rock. People might make you happy but there is no surety of their being forever with you or you might judge them wrong, so to handle the unfavorable climatic conditions around you, you need to be prepared, prepared with your back up plan, your stability. One shouldn't mistake emotional stability with being reserved or insecure, it’s a total different segment, it’s a process where one in spite of feeling sad selects to feel nothing.

We think of ourselves as balanced individuals. But our lifestyle ensures that all our waking hours are occupied, at home and at work. This often makes us feel overwhelmed. It leads to reactions that are not the wisest, even to very ordinary situations. Reactions that are not appropriate.

Preventing negative reactions to situations is in your own hands. If you don't control your emotions, they will control you.
