Never Let Your EMOTIONS Overpower Your INTELLECT

A man is an emotional being. His ability to express and feel emotions can be considered as his power but only when he knows how to balance emotions with intellect or I would rather state that he must know how to save his intellect from getting affected by the emotions.

There can be many situations in life where you will face a very strong charge of emotions. It may be love or hatred; it may be anger or kindness. If you scroll back your memory you will find number of incidents where you felt such strong emotions and surrendered your intellect i.e. your sense of logical thinking to the situation and lost control over the things.

Save your intellect to be able to take right action or sometimes to take no action at all to maintain the situation on its Minimal Destructive level.

You may have someone around you having any habit that affects you in a negative way always because of which you may feel extremely upset. You react to it even after knowing that it will not help instead it will make the situation even worse. At the end you find yourself regretting for all the undesired mess you have invited.  Don’t forget that Feeling and emotions are temporary but the actions we take under their influence certainly leave permanent marks in life.

 Identify such situation in your life which you are facing repeatedly and not able to handle them with calmness. Think logically keeping aside all your emotions if you can control the situation for betterment by reacting to it or your reaction is making it worse. Keep reminding your mind while facing the situation that what you must not do. For example if you raise your voice in anger keep it low, if you indulge yourself in argument to prove your point don’t do it. It will save your mental and physical health.

You certainly cannot avoid some problems but you can save yourself by behaving in a sensible manner. Your intellect can help you in doing so and can protect your soul from unwanted hurt. This doesn’t required any high level meditation  practice but only constant reminder from your intellect that you are not going to react in effect of emotions to any situation .

When we feel strong emotions we start over imagination to blind our intelligence. If you relate it to your daily life you will find number of examples.

Keep applying the power of intellect and you will find you have started decreasing the complications in life. There is no rocket science; it’s just a matter of knowing that your life should be guided by your intellect not by your emotions.
