1) Get enough rest.

Most people have to sleep 7-9 hours a night. Less than that can lead to an intense emotional response that hurts you in your day-to-day life.

Think of little children. When a child has slept little, he is more irritable, cries and suffers more. On the other hand, if he has rested enough, he behaves better, he is in a good mood and his day to day is pure happiness. The same goes for adults.

2) Eat right and exercise.

A healthy diet makes you less vulnerable to a number of ills, such as a lack of emotional control. Exercise helps keep your heart healthy
And it also increases the production of endorphins, the brain chemicals responsible for happiness.

3) Talk to people you trust.

Have at least two or three people among trusted family and friends with whom to share your most intimate thoughts and feelings.

4) Learn to solve problems.

Successful problem solving is the key to building the confidence you need to face challenges without giving in to hopelessness.
or impotence.

your strengths and your ability to take on difficult situations.

Fear can be defeated with information. You just have to clearly identify what affects you and why it affects you.

7) Think!

It is possible to have a very strong emotion and think at the same time. Yes

Respond the next time you have feelings like anger, fear, sadness, or disgust.

Take time each day to do something fun or enjoyable. Give your worries and problems a "Vacation".
