WORD OF THE WEEK: SELF-CONTROL (PT. 2)
We need Self-Control if we don’t learn to control our emotions, we say things, and do things that can hurt other people.
Losing our temper and saying hurtful things is like this piece of wood. (Take a nail and drive it into the wood.) This is what it’s like when someone says or does mean things.
Once they realize what they’ve said is wrong – they can apologize (remove the nail), but it always leaves a mark. We’re better off learning to control our emotions so that we don’t get angry or lose our temper.
How can we develop Self-Control when we feel ourselves getting angry? Here are a few ideas:
- Leave the situation and go for a walk.
- Ask for help. Ask a parent or teacher for help you calmly resolve the situation.
- Remind yourself that people are more important than whatever your arguing about, and if you continue to get mad – you’ll probably regret it.
- Remind yourself that this situation is a gift and an opportunity to train for a Black Belt by using Self-Control.
Learn to control your emotions so they don’t control you and cause you to do something you will regret.
