Power of Not Reacting - How to Control Your Emotions | Gautam Buddha Motivational Story

Silence is power, and people hate it when they can’t get to you, never give up your power (silence)

If you are reading this, I want to tell you that everything will be fine. You are incredible, you are unique, you can face anything in your life, you have the strength within yourself to overcome any obstacle, loss, or situation. You are not alone, you are loved, you have the right to feel bad and good, you have the right to feel. Be blessed by these positive vibes and live your life to the fullest. I am sending my love to the universe so that I can reach you.

You don’t control emotions, only reactions. Important difference.

Trust me.. Dont't control your emotions always. Sometimes you have to express how you feel about someone or somebody to get them improved. Sometimes controlling your emotions can hurt you extremely

I grew up with this from my father, when I was young I thought he is weak and scared not to react.. But now at 47 I realised how strong he is and how well he teaches me by his example.. He always said :Leave it to God, HE knows better to deal with this... Thank you DAD😍🤗😘❤️🇷🇴

Right now my life is surrounded by difficult situations and intense changes. Lots of obstacles and difficult decisions. But I've been meditating for years and take cold showers every morning. I also read sacred Pali texts and also listen to Pali chants online. I see my difficulties as challenges. They barely bother me. It is what it is. Rather, my difficulties have motivated me to meditate deeper and longer. That's all you can do. Everything works out in the end. In this life or in the next. Breathe. Be still. Be grateful.

I’m 18 and no one believes that I’ll be anything in life because I don’t do too good in school but I’ll prove them all wrong. I can feel it. I know I will be rich and free

Practice silence in tough situation and see yourself winning at life😊

The only way to practice is thru meditation. I have been practicing meditation about 10 years now and I agreed that sometime I got mad , I noticed and recognized my anger and be able to redirect it to cool down. Before that when I didn’t do meditation I would snap back right away with a madness attitude. Meditation has changed me to a different person with mindfulness that I learned.

I face challenging situations at my office everyday. The work politics, the narrow minded colleagues, the selfishness and so many irritating situations used to frustrate me a lot. But then I realized it's actually doing me harm, no one else. So I started controlling my reaction to the situation. I can't change people. But I can change the way I react.

Easier said than done. Change like that requires a whole rewiring of your mind. But with time and practice, you won't react negatively as often. I've been trying to tame my emotions and even through I still get upset/angry, I actively try to control my reaction to situations that trigger those negative feelings. In the end, you're mostly hurting yourself because you're the one walking around, burdened with all that negativity while the other person is enjoying their life.

Mind is like water When it's turbulent difficult to see If it's calm everything becomes clear 😇😇😇🙏

Một câu chuyện rất hay, cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẽ.

This is a powerful attribute. Although not everyone will find it easy to acquire. What I can share on this topic is this: You are not your emotions. Let what you feel just go through your body. You are the observer of what you feel. You do not need to act on them. You will see that they too shall pass.

This is so true. I faced this situation a lot of times. My family would actually use my reactions as a tool to shift the blame for what ever wrong they did. It happened for almost 22 years. If a plate broke in the kitchen while they were arranging, it was not their fault for dropping it but my fault for keeping it there. These small small things used to bother me so much and I would react furiously. And they used to take advantage of it and the actual mistake gets erased. While my reaction becomes the biggest mistake. This happened for 20 years. And one day I started playing a deaf year to what ever they were saying. Internally it was hurting me. But I stood silent and listened. They were shocked and they even went to an extent of asking me why was I not reacting. Still I was not reacting. It save lost of your energy lot drama and you will be at peace. Now I became a master at being a poker face.

🙏🏻It all begins with you and ends with you 🙏🏻 Only you are responsible for your own happiness and peace of mind 🙏🏻 Don't let anyone else control it 🙏🏻
