How to be in charge of your emotions?

I feel what it means is to be in control.

It is basically referring to the act of being conscious. Most people are a slave to their desires.

How do people do it?

Through self discipline which could be achieved through some form of yoga

Yoga doesn’t always necessarily mean meditation.

What is Yoga?

Yoga is an ancient art based on a harmonizing system of development for the body, mind, and spirit. The continued practice of yoga will lead you to a sense of peace and well-being, and also a feeling of being at one with their environment. This is a simple definition.

This could be achieved in a variety of ways travelling,music like playing & mastering an instrument,gaining knowledge or even through observing the world around us.

It is basically referring to self development.

When someone is doing that it he/she is subconsciously training her mind to be in control.

Just take a middle school er for an example who is crying to get an ice-cream although he has a bad cold.He goes to the minivan & manages to buy one from the guy.Knowing the consequence of the action. Now as he grows up & manages to get a part time job he wishes to try drugs knowing what sort of effect that could have on him. Guess what?he might give it a try & get addicted. This whole thing could have been avoided just if he could be conscious of his actions by not giving in to his desires.

Dealing with Desires:

Desire is what separates a thief from a guy who labors day in & out just to get a loaf of bread in the evening.Controlling your desires is one of the important stepping stone to success.

Desires are a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen.Take an owner of a company who fires one of his best employee after a month just because he had left before could be judged as an act of low self control.The guy gives in to his desire of proving his self worth rather than focusing on improving the business.

Coming to emotions well I feel it is used here as a figure of speech. Emotions are regulated by our brain to serve as in a variety of ways like love or lust is the emotion generated for continuing the process of reproduction while fear is used to flee from a situation-stress gets our jobs done.
