Description

Managing emotional reactions means choosing how and when to express the emotions we feel. People who do a good job of managing emotions know that it's healthy to express their feelings and are more productive at their workplace.There are healthy and unhealthy emotions. Unhealthy or toxic emotions lead to burnout, anxieties, depression, and a whole load of physical illnesses.Studies show that high stress levels are costing businesses more than $300 Billion in the US alone. High blood pressure, fatigue, scattered thinking, anger and sleeplessness are some of the side effects to high stress.Understanding how emotions work gives you the key to managing your emotional response. Your emotional responses don’t necessarily have much to do with the current situation, or to reason, but you can overcome them with reason and by being aware of your reactions.Emotion is a form of stress because it activates the body’s physiological and psychological responses, similar to how stress functions. Emotions, whether positive (joy, excitement) or negative (fear, anger), trigger biochemical changes in the brain and body. When emotions like fear, anger, or sadness are prolonged or unmanaged, they can contribute to chronic stress.Not all stress is harmful though. Positive emotions can create a type of stress called eustress, which helps with motivation, focus, and performance. Feelings like excitement before an event trigger stress responses that improve cognitive function and resilience.Since emotions are deeply tied to stress responses in the body, whether they trigger distress or motivation depends on how they are processed and managed. Recognizing emotions as a form of stress allows us to develop better emotional regulation strategies for improved mental and physical health.You can change how you feel. The key is to be aware of your emotional response and understand what might be behind it.
