Nasabihan ka na bang, “Para kang bata mag-isip!” o “Mag-usap na lang tayo ‘pag ok na pananaw mo sa buhay”?
Masasabi mo bang emotionally matured ka na kapag di ka pumatol?
Ang isang taong emotionally mature can manage their feelings in almost any situation. May strong sense of empathy at alam kung paano mag-deescalate ng conflict kung kailangan. But how do you get a grasp of your own emotions?
1. Recognize what you are feeling and understand why you are feeling that way. Nagagalit? Naiinis? Naiirita? Nalulungkot? BAKEEET?!?! Isa kang TOYOIN kung hindi mo alam. Kapag alam mo kung bakit, mas madaling makipag-communicate at magbigay ng solusyon sa isang problema.
2. Take responsibility. Kung ikaw ang may mali, akuin mo at ‘wag ka na magturo ng daliri sa iba. Learn from it and make sure that you will not make the same mistake twice
3. Be gentle with yourself. Hindi ka nga COVID-19 positive pero ang negative naman ng tingin mo sa buhay. May alternative ways kung paano mag-deal sa mga problema. IIyak mo tapos decide and make practical solutions.
4. Be open-minded. We have our own opinions but it doesn’t hurt to actively listen to another person’s opinion. Hindi mo kailangan makipagtagisan ng talino at mamilit ng ibang tao. MAKINIG, mas powerful yun.
5. Pause and reflect. Shut your mouth and keep your hands away from your phone kapag galit ka. Choose to pause to give yourself the option to CONSCIOUSLY decide how you want to react. Mahirap kapag may regrets.
6. Live in the present. Don’t dwell too much kay ex at kay no label pati na rin sa mga bagay na hindi pa nangyayari. Be present so that you are less likely to react negatively or fall into old habits. Life is happening now, as you read this. This the only moment that you can choose, act, experience and enjoy.
Galingan mo sa part na ‘to, para hindi ka natatawag na toyoin, sad boi o sad gurl. You will instead be a person whom someone can depend on.
