My Emotional Self

As you are a woman….this is a big one, and it will have many changes, sometimes daily! Yes, we do have emotional swings. And, sometimes we do not even know why. This is ‘body chemistry’ at work in us.

Emotions do not last forever. Like relationships, emotions also change over time. This means the good ones change and the bad ones change. The important thing to remember is that you can control your emotions and change your attitude if you want to.

When you are young, it is harder to control your emotions. The good news is that when you get older, it becomes easier to do so.  One good thing to do when your emotions are running high, is to take a deep breath and think, “If I make a decision now, will I still think it is a good decision in 10 minutes”? “In 10 months”? “In 10 years”? If you can answer “yes” to all three of these questions, then you should make the decision. But, emotions and decisions can be a tricky combination. As a growing young woman, your Emotional Self will really change. Be aware of this, and practice ways to manage your emotions.
