1. Langley laid out some tips on managing emotions, how would you apply these strategies
to avoid outbursts and negative feelings?
The suppression of emotions, especially negative ones, should not be done and is
not helpful as not only can it take a toll on one’s mental and emotional health but as well
as deters the physical well- being of the body. In order to avoid such circumstances, one
must learn to manage his/her emotions.
Langley laid out eight tips on managing emotions that includes; (1) smiling to
make yourself and others feel good, (2) getting up and move, (3) checking in with your
body, (4) physically removing the tension, (5) breathing, (6) talking to someone, (7)
disengaging and reengaging emotions, and (8) labelling your emotions and others’ too.
These tips should be applied deliberately because emotions must always be recognized,
acknowledged, and released in a way that is not hurtful towards others.
In my case, when experiencing sadness, anger, or other negative emotions, I tend
to recognize, acknowledge and release my emotions in a holistically appropriate manner
in order to not hurt the people around me. Examples would include being calm and
collected when talking to someone, considering others’ feelings and opinions, and
avoiding the use of inappropriate and harsh language. This does not only help me in
assessing my emotions but also enhances my ability to listen, understand, and
communicate with others. Therefore, the development of my physical, mental, emotional,
and social health will be given way.
The nature of relationships refers to the kind of relationship a person has with
another. It can be a friendship, sexual only relationship, petting relationship, without
intercourse, familial relationship, and any other arrangement that is mutually satisfactory
to those involved wherein some relationships are closer that of others. Moreover, the
depth of a relationship pertains to the deepness of the connection and intimacy of the
parties involved.
The nature and depth of a relationship is attributed with familiarity, attraction, and
love wherein:
Familiarity is a necessary condition for a close relationship to develop that refers
to being comfortable with another person. This may include the consideration of
a person’s attitude, behaviour patterns, personal characteristics, interests,
intelligence, and personality;
Attraction is when a person is drawn to another due to reasons of similarities,
life goals, lifestyles, and familiarity in general. It paves the way for enjoyment of
the company and comfort of the other person, as well as the feelings of ease and
confidence in the relationship; and
Love is a special attachment one has for himself/herself or for somebody else. It
encompasses a range of strong and positive emotional and mental states, from
the most sublime virtue or good habit, the deepest interpersonal affection, and to
the simplest pleasure. It is an intense feeling of deep or constant affection and
emotion in which a person always sees the good, happiness, and welfare of the
other.
A person will most probably be friends with, if not attracted to, people who they
are in regular contact with, or within a proximate reach (otherwise known as proximity).
A person will also be attracted to those who are familiar to them. That is why proximity is
important to attraction as it breeds familiarity, and, consequently, familiarity breeds love
that results to relationships of any kind, depending on the parties involved. Such
relationship is then maintained through reciprocity, the give and take in a relationship, as
well as the willingness to exert time, effort, and commitment.
