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.

Its Time to Celebrate New Life

-
In 2020, I started this blog and named it Redesigning My Life at 32.   I was afraid.   Afraid that maybe it was too late.   Afraid that the life I dreamed of—one of peace, dignity, and joy—might never be mine.   I was living in darkness, surrounded by pain—personally, professionally, emotionally, physically.   But even then, I was hopeful.   Even then, I believed that I could rebuild. And I did. From that day forward, life unfolded in mysterious, often painful, but ultimately beautiful ways.   I flowed with the current, followed my heart, and trusted my resilience.   I walked through fire—divorce, separation, loneliness, fear, seclusion.   I faced nights of silence, tears, and aching questions.   But I never stopped moving. I rewired my mind.   I shifted from victim to warrior.   From self-sabotage to self-care.   From regret to reverence. I let go of people ...

Embracing Life and Rain with Romance

Today, I woke up at 6 AM because I couldn’t  sleep until 11:30 PM previous night. Despite this, I accepted the situation without irritation and began my day with a positive mindset. After cooking my meal and having a shake, I headed to school. During my bus ride to school, I started listening to “The Power of Now” audiobook for the second time.  In first few minutes of my day at work, I felt a slight agitation, but I quickly reminded myself to stay present and accept the moment fully. Immersing myself in work helped alleviate the agitation, which I realized was due to lack of sleep and the morning rush. Teaching literature for seven periods made a hectic day, but my speaker and tab were invaluable companions. They supported me throughout the day.  Today, I intentionally took on the responsibility of managing the preparation for Inter DPS competition. Aspiring to be a principal, I recognize the importance of embracing additional responsibilities, although I already have ot...

Goal Setting

-
Thought a lot about how to set my goals and remove distractions. I wanted goals with farsightedness for longvterm future planning. Wasted nearly 15 days in thinking only, then finally decided to take career counseling from my mentor Gaurav Sir.  I got clarity about my goals and got so much confidence as well. Now  I have my long-term goals with me: 1. Preparation of govt. Job 2. YouTube Channel 3. Online classes on my own. I am trying to prioritise them in above mentioned sequence as there will be days when I will not be able to give same attention to all three. I finally found out that I can be an expert in English subject teaching for cbse classes. I really enjoyed being a school teacher. I am continuously  attending webinars also. Going to record progress of activities seperately for all three goals. Fingers crossed!
