The reason many of you are tormented by emotions is that you’ve tied 【Emotions】 and 【Yourself】 together too tightly! You are not “an angry person,” you are just “feeling angry”; you are not “a useless person full of anxiety,” you are just “experiencing the emotion of anxiety.”
See?! How much power is in that tiny shift in perspective! When you view emotions as a 【signal】 sent by your body or brain, a 【messenger】 , a package carrying 【information】 , you create distance between yourself and the emotion! You are no longer the emotion itself, but the 【master】 who receives the signal, reads the information, and decides how to respond!
This is the ultimate secret to emotional management! It’s not about suppressing emotions, not about exploding with emotions, but about 【understanding the information emotions convey, and then making conscious choices based on it】 !
Does that sound simple? But it was exactly this ridiculously simple principle that changed my life! Before, when I felt anxious, I wanted to escape. When I felt angry, I wanted to attack. The result? Made things worse and worse! Later, I started practicing seeing emotions as “messengers,” and a miracle happened! I could stop and listen to what it wanted to tell me!
Okay, the principle is explained. How do you actually put this 【One-Move Instant Fix】 method into practice? Let’s break it down into simple steps, making it easy for you to get started! 👂Listen closely, every step is worth a fortune!
🧠 【Instant Fix Practical Breakdown】 How to process emotions like receiving an email? 🧠
Imagine your emotions are like packages delivered by a courier, containing important information. Would you burn the package immediately (suppress)? Or scream in terror at the size and shape of the package (explode)? Neither! You would stop, receive it, open it, read the information, and then decide what to do next, right?
It’s the same with emotions!
- 📦 【Package Received!】 Emotion arrived? STOP! Receive it!
- Is your stomach suddenly tight? Heart beating fast? Face feeling hot? These are the “emotion messengers” knocking! Don’t panic and close the door, run away, or pretend not to be home!
- Your first reaction is often: This feels uncomfortable! I want to get rid of this feeling! — STOP! Please hit the pause button in your brain immediately ⚠️!
- ⚡️ Key Action: 【Stop, Feel, Name】 . Take a few deep breaths. Feel which part of your body has a sensation. What does this sensation feel like? Hot? Cold? Tight? Empty?
- Then, try to name this feeling. Don’t worry about the perfect word, anything close will do! “Oh, this is a bit of ‘irritation’,” “Oh, this is a bit of ‘unease’,” “Oh, this ‘heavy feeling in my chest’ might be ‘sadness’.”
- 🎯 Why it works: This action is creating 【Distance】 ! When you can stop and observe and name the emotion from a neutral perspective, you have already separated yourself from the emotion itself. You are no longer “irritation” itself, but “the person currently feeling irritation.” This sense of separation is the first, and most crucial, step in reclaiming control! Many people can’t even do this first step and get swept away by emotion! Being able to do this means you’re already ahead of 90% of people!
- 📬 【Open the Package】 What information did this emotion messenger bring?
- Okay, you’ve received the “irritation” package. Now, take a deep breath, and try asking yourself (like chatting with a friend):
- “What does this 【irritation】 want to tell me?”
- “Where did it come from? Did something just happen that triggered it?” (Did the boss say something? Did I see a friend’s social media post? Did I not finish a task?)
- “Behind this irritation, could there be a 【need of mine that wasn’t met】 ? Or a 【boundary that was crossed】 ? Or my 【true feeling/thought】 ?”
- For example: You told your partner something, they didn’t react much, and suddenly you feel “angry.” Stop! Feel! Name! “Oh, this is anger.” What’s the information? “Is it because the thing I talked about is important to me, but I feel like I didn’t get their attention?” – See, this anger messenger brought the information that “your need for being seen/heard wasn’t met”!
- Another example: Before an exam, you’re so “anxious” you can’t sleep. Stop! Feel! Name! “Oh, this is anxiety.” What’s the information? “Is it because it’s reminding you that you care a lot about this exam? Is it saying you might need more preparation, or you’re a bit uncertain about the outcome?” – Anxiety, the messenger, might bring information suggesting “you need to plan/assess risks for an important matter”!
- 🎯 Why it works: Emotions are results, not causes! They are surface phenomena pointing to deeper needs, values, expectations, or unresolved issues. By “asking it,” you’re decoding the real message behind the emotion. This information is a million times more important than the emotion itself! It tells you: Why do you feel this way? What’s happening inside you? Understanding this tells you where to start solving the problem, instead of being trapped by the surface appearance of the emotion.
- Okay, you’ve received the “irritation” package. Now, take a deep breath, and try asking yourself (like chatting with a friend):
- ⏸️ 【Digest the Information, Don’t Rush to Reply】 You got the info, give yourself reaction time!
- You received the package, you read the information. But you wouldn’t immediately pick up the package and run out shouting at the world, right? You’d think about what this information means and how you should process it.
- The same goes for emotions! You understood that “irritation” might mean your need wasn’t met, understood that “anxiety” might mean you need more preparation. But pay attention! Between “understanding the information” and “making a response,” there’s a crucial step: 【BUFFERING】 !
- ⚡️ Key Action: 【Consciously create a buffer zone】 . This buffer zone can be:
- Physical Distance: When feeling angry, leave the scene for a few minutes first.
- Time Distance: When wanting to immediately explode, tell yourself, “I’ll respond in 5 minutes (or tomorrow).”
- Mental Pause: Take deep breaths, do a short mindfulness exercise (feel your feet on the ground, listen to sounds around you), let your brain step back from the emotional whirlpool.
- 🎯 Why it works: This buffer zone is the time you need to switch from your 【emotional brain】 back to your 【rational brain】 ! The emotional brain is impulsive, reactive, just wanting to release energy immediately; the rational brain is responsible for thinking, planning, evaluating consequences. Without this buffer, you’ll easily make a 【reaction】 based on the intense feeling of the emotion, and this reaction is often impulsive, destructive, and you’ll regret it later! With this buffer, you can make a 【response】 based on the 【information you’ve read】 and 【rational thought】 ! This is the crucial turning point from “being controlled by emotions” to “taking back control”! Remember: Reaction is impulsive, Response is conscious.
- ➡️ 【Based on the Information, Make a Response】 Now, you can act!
- You’ve received the emotion package, read the information, and given yourself buffer time to let rationality online. Now, it’s time to decide what to do next!
- Your action should be based on the information you read from the emotion, not based on the impulsive energy of the emotion itself!
- If the information from “anger” is “my need wasn’t seen”: The response might be – find an appropriate time and use a calm tone to communicate your feelings and needs to the other person; instead of directly attacking them with “You don’t care about me at all!”
- If the information from “anxiety” is “need more preparation”: The response might be – create a study plan and execute a small part each day; instead of paralyzing in anxiety and doing nothing.
- If the information from “sadness” is “you need connection and support”: The response might be – talk to a trusted friend, or give yourself a warm hug, allowing yourself to be sad; instead of isolating yourself in grief.
- 🎯 Why it works: Every step done this way is about 【constructively solving the problem】 ! By using the information provided by the emotion to guide your actions, you can transform the power of emotion into motivation for problem-solving, instead of internal friction and destruction! This cycle is: Emotion -> Information -> Buffer -> Conscious Response -> Problem is (or starts to be) solved -> Emotion is relieved or transformed. This is a positive cycle! You are not fighting against emotions, you are 【collaborating】 with emotions!
- 🔄 【Practice in a Loop, Until It’s Engrained】 This is a superpower requiring repeated practice!
- My dears, I have to tell you honestly, this method isn’t something you can do 100% perfectly just because you understand it! It’s like learning to ride a bike, swim, or drive – it requires a lot of deliberate practice!
- At first, you’ll often forget to 【stop】 and get swept away by emotion. It’s okay! That’s totally normal!
- ⚡️ Key Mindset: 【Allow yourself to be imperfect, but keep practicing】! Every time you “mess up,” afterwards reflect: “When that emotion came, what did I do? If I used the ‘messenger’ method, what should I have done?” The next time you encounter a similar emotion, remind yourself to try again.
- Start by handling small emotions (like irritation from waiting, annoyance from spilling something). Gradually move on to handling more complex, stronger emotions.
- 🎯 Why it works: Any skill is built through practice! The more you practice, the easier it is for your brain to build new connections. The next time you face an emotion, you’ll be able to more naturally activate the “receive package – read info – buffer – respond” process, instead of being controlled by old reactive patterns. Eventually, this method will be ingrained in your DNA, becoming your 【instinctive response】 to emotions! At that point, emotions truly can’t control you! You will truly be free!
My Story of Struggle and Comeback:
I used to be an “emotional喷射战士” (explosion warrior) + a “senior internal friction expert”. When unhappy, I’d say hurtful things to those close to me, and afterwards fall into endless self-blame and internal struggle; when faced with pressure, I’d be so anxious my scalp would tingle, then lie on the sofa like a zombie all day, doing nothing, becoming even more anxious… it was a death loop!
Later, I came across the concept of “emotion as information” and started forcing myself to practice the steps above. At first, it was incredibly hard! When emotion hit, my brain would explode, couldn’t even remember anything about “messengers”! But I didn’t give up. Every time I “lost control,” I’d remind myself to try to “stop” next time.
Gradually, I found I could find that tiny space to “pause” when emotion struck! Even if it was just for one second, it was enough for me to ask myself: “Oh, wait, what does this irritation/anxiety/anger… want to tell me?”
One time I was extremely angry about a work change, my first instinct was to throw my keyboard. But I stopped. I asked myself: “What does this anger want to tell me?” I realized, it was telling me “I feel like my efforts aren’t being respected, my time is being wasted.” This information was more important than the anger itself! So I didn’t throw my keyboard. Instead, I calmed down, organized my thoughts, and sent a colleague an email presenting my concerns and suggesting an alternative solution. Guess what? The problem was solved better, and I didn’t ruin my working relationship or suffer internal friction due to impulsivity!
Since then, although I still have various emotions, I’m no longer afraid of them. I know they are just here to bring me information. I’ve learned to receive the package, open the package, read the information, and then based on that information, make appropriate choices for action! I’m no longer a fallen leaf swept away by the storm of emotions, but a helmsman who can find direction in the storm! 🚢
My dears, emotions are a precious human experience we’re born with. They are here to help us better understand ourselves and the world, not to torment us! If you often feel troubled by emotions, it just means you haven’t learned how to properly 【collaborate with emotions】 yet!
Use my 【One-Move Instant Fix】 method, and starting today, see emotions as your messengers! When the next emotion arises, don’t be afraid, don’t run away, don’t let it carry you away. Stop, feel it, name it, ask what information it brought, and then based on that information, consciously choose your next action!
This isn’t about turning you into a robot without feelings, but about making you a wiser, stronger person with more command over your life!
This process requires patience and practice, but please trust me, this is the best gift you can give yourself! It can free you from pointless internal struggle, build healthier relationships, make wiser decisions, and ultimately, lead you toward a brilliant life truly controlled by you!
Go try it! You’ll find that emotions are no longer your uncontrollable enemy, but a guide and ally leading you to your inner depth and strength!
