WWJD, Overcoming The Overbearing Emotions Thinking What Would Jesus Do?

By Pamela Nelson


It is ok to feel what you are sensing at the time. Many things in life can bring up emotions that are either good for you or make you feel worse about everything around you and maybe even yourself. It is always recommended to try ways of controlling outbursts thinking wwjd (what would Jesus do?) so that you can learn to be more in charge of yourself.

One of the biggest mistakes that people make is that they react immediately. It is best to take a minute to analyze the situation so that you can figure out whether it actually affects you. Sometimes when you react to something immediately, it could trigger feelings from something else without you even being aware and it may come across as though the current situation made you react. This could result in you having regrets later on.

If you have reacted badly or in a form of an outburst, speak to someone that you trust. This way, you are not keeping it bottled up and you can let it out to someone that cares. This person will give you an outside and fair opinion about the situation. Although their opinion may either make you feel worse or better, it will definitely impact how you react the next time.

Every day there will be incidents that will make us feel bitter about another person or situation. When in this state of mind, try to learn the art of acceptance. It will work in your best interest if you are not upset all the time. Making a habit out of feeling adverse can result in you being a less desirable person. As a human being, you need to say and think good to feel good.

Don t block out how you feel. You may want to stop yourself from reacting but within yourself, you need to acknowledge how that situation or person made you feel. You need to understand it and accept that something hurt you. Following this, accept that you are happy to move on from it.

In this state of keeping things in, you can easily blame other people for something that you don t have proof of. Or perhaps, blame the person for bad advice after you have decided to confide in them. This shows a different side to your character and you can easily lose friendships and loved ones over something like this. Try to stay in control of what you say when you are upset.

A clever method that is used by many people to get rid of anger that is held inside of them, is exercise. It is an effective way of dealing with issues without interfering with other people. The idea is that instead of instilling violence and harsh words, walk away and take out your anger in the gym. The adrenaline will actually cause you to work out harder and better. This will also mean that you won t run into times where you may use harsh means to get your point across.

This is a common problem and by reacting a certain way, you are reminding yourself of who you are as a person. Take the simple steps to learn how to cope better.
