Why Are We Slaves to Our Emotions? And How to Rise Above it?
A simple strategy to become a highly conscious woman.
Has it ever happened to you when you got emotionally hijacked without any logical reason?
It was a usual warm Florida evening.
I was pacing up and down in my apartment, nervously looking at my phone.
My heart was pounding so strongly, I could almost hear it..
I couldn’t get hold my my boyfriend at that time.
I kept calling and texting me for the past 2 hours but without any response…
My brain was picturing the worst scenarios conjuring up the worst lethal outcomes..
I couldn’t relax, calm down or stop driving myself to even further agony. It was as if I was possessed.
I was a slave to my emotions that were holding a tight grip on me.
To cut a long story short, eventually my boyfriend called me and explained he had a tennis session and then went for a swim, while his phone was at home.
Thinking about it now makes me think how ridiculous my reaction was. Completely illogical and unsubstantiated.
But why? What is the reason for such illogical reactions?
