Understanding Emotions Using Technique

Every emotion tells us something about ourselves and our situations. However, sometimes it is difficult for us to accept how we feel. We may be critical of ourselves if we have a particular emotion. However, it is preferable to acknowledge our feelings rather than believing that we should not feel that way.
Emotions are the motivating factors that influence our choices, behaviours, and responses. Thus, controlling our emotions is essential to improving the quality of our lives
