This is why, as a result of embarrassment, our cheeks can turn red, and our nervousness can make our hearts beat faster.

How to affect emotions

Give yourself time, keep harmony. Before speaking or externalizing, make a reckoning, wait for a thorough analysis of the storm of feelings. Although it will take a few minutes, and the interlocutor will have to wonder what is happening at that moment, it is still worth giving yourself permission for a moment of reflection. A little time will not only allow you to define your emotions, it will also calm you down. It may seem difficult at first, but it gets easier over time. The most important thing is to develop the habit of a temporary pause for self-examination.

When you already know that you are experiencing the rush of emotions, it is worth preparing for it Prepare for the inevitable, be prepared for the pressure of your inner feelings Awareness of their occurrence will give you a chance to master how you feel and act destructively.

The decision to stop talking and listen to others, to stop and think about oneself, to self-analyse, to evaluate the circumstance, to weigh the alternatives and then choose the best option, to make questions.
