Emotions and How they Work part 1

In order to become successful and personally effective in relationships, it's important to understand the power of emotions and how to master them---before they master You.
How many times have you heard people say things like this?

* "There's no way I'm going in there to talk to John--I've never liked him anyway."
* "I'd like to plan a vacation for next summer, but I'm worried we wont have enough
money."
* I want to get in shape this year, but I never feel like exercising in the morning."

What do these statements have in common? They all revel the power of emotions. What are emotions, anyway? According to Webster's an emotion is "a state of feeling... that prepares the body for immediate action."
We like to think we're logical people, basing what we do on sound reasoning and good judgment. But the Truth is emotions influence--and usually dominate--human behavior. As Psychologist Dr Arthur Freeman writes, "Too often common sense deserts us when we most need it and our so called better judgment is swamped by a tidal wave of emotion"
It is important to realize just how big a role emotions play in our lives. In fact,if you dont understand that, You will never understand people at all. It is vital to know how emotions work, so you can take control of them instead of letting them take control of you. As you learn the art of mastering your own feelings, your people skills will flourish. But uncontrolled emotions will derail your relationships every-time.
