Managing Emotion Being able to manage our emotion well is crucial to our own health as well as our ability to foster healthy relationships with others, particularly our loved ones. Recent studies have revealed that the state of our emotional well- being plays an important role in our physical health. For instance, people who are depressed are at a higher risk of a heart attack, and those who have experienced a traumatic event are more likely to report poor physical health, often complaining of tiredness, loss of energy, bodyache and other vague physical symptoms. Conversely, people with positive attitudes towards life generally feel good about themselves, are more joyous and happy about their lives. A good laugh can lift the spirit up and can even increased the body's resistence to infections. Feeling good about ourselves also makes us comfortable in our relationship with others. --- Big Problems Arise From Small Problems --- "Big problems arise from small problems; The wise takes care of all his small problems, Thus he has no problems." The above is so true, and I'll illustrate it with an example. Mr Lee wanted to watch TV. His favourite movie was showing. However, his wife wanted him to take her shopping for groceries, so reluctantly he followed. On the way to the shopping complex, they were caught in a bad traffic congestion, and a trip which normally takes 15 minutes took an hour instead. Being an unwilling shopper, Mr Lee was getting angrier by the minute and was close to boiling point by the time they reached the shopping complex. As they entered the car park in the complex, Mr Lee asked his wife to be on the look out for any empty parking spot as they drive around the compound. Just then, Mrs Lee's mobile phone ranged and she quicked answered the call and continued to chat with her friend on the phone. Meanwhile, Mr Lee spotted an empty parking spot but before he could reach it, another driver quickly reversed into the spot. That was the last straw for Mr Lee! He blew his top! Before he knew it, he started shouting at the driver, using all kinds of foul languages. When his wife tried to calm him down, he turned towards her and started shouting at her instead, accusing her of talking to her friend on the phone instead of helping him to look for an empty parking lot. Naturally that outburst spoiled the outing, and they both completed their groceries shopping in hostile silence.
