Under Control

  • We have seen that emotions are "human", we cannot help feeling emotions but sometimes it is hard to understand them, to understand what we are feeling, but we need to do that to keep everything under control. 

    We have tried to identify the primary emotions, we have worked on some others, but we also need to go a step further and  reflect on how we react. We need to understand that feeling an emotion like anger, for example, is just a response to something that is happening. When we feel an emotion, our body moves into action, and we can express what we are experiencing in many different ways. 

    The components of the emotions we feel are present in all of us, but the intensity and expression of these emotions differ from one person to another. Apart from our own personality,  culture,  gender or education can influence the way we "live" , the way we "feel" our emotions, the way we "control" our reaction.

    TASK 1:

    Do you remember what you wrote on the outer ring  of your wheel of emotions? Go back to the activity "naming emotions" and compare what you wrote and what your partners wrote. Do you think all of you keep your emotions "under control"? What would you recommend to somebody whose reaction to an emotion is not "under control"? What do you do? Use the twinboard below to explain your own advice.

    TASK 2: what do you do when something bothers you? Can you think of something that bothers you at school? and at home? use the twinboard below and tell us.

  • everything under control

    Federica Bramante Fasano-Italy

    I think it is difficult to keep our emotions under control, so not everybody is able to do it (and with that I'm talking about myself in the first place, too). My advice is to try and take a deep breath when something bothers us (for example when we fight with our parents of if we get a bad mark), and we should always focus on finding a way to improve the situation. However, in my opinion, when we are in a difficult situation crying might help freeing our mind.

    Chiara Giraudo- Italy

    I know that it's difficult to keep our emotions "under control", but they are a part of us and we should learn to live with them. They are strong and sometimes they can take us down, but we have to remember that they come from our heads and we can control them: for exemple doing some deep breaths, when we are angry because something bothers us or we are afraid, and thinking something of good when we feel sad.

    When I can't control my feelings I meditate and I suggest you to do the same. Spending some time mindfully, without thinking to all the problems in your life really helps and I'm doing it a lot during the quarantine. I use a podcast to meditate but it's in Italian so it wouldn't be useful for you, but you can search them on youtube or on specific sites, they're really good.

    Alessandra Ricci - Italy

    In my opinion is really difficult to control our emotions. who more, who less, we are all sensitive to certain situations and events. Everyone should find a way to keep his emotions under control, when it's possible. Usually, when I feel like I'm losing control, I take a blocknotes and write down how I feel and why I feel in that way. Sometimes we don't know why we're going through some certain emotions, but this tip is useful to feel better. You can also write down possible solutions to the problems you're suffering from. When everything seems to go wrong, try not to focus yourself on the current situation: think about the future. Everything is going to be okay.

    Elisabetta Dibra -Italy

    In my opinion expressing ourselves by the emotions is human and very beautiful. Emotions represent our prsonalities but losing control of them isn't always a good thing. I think learning to control them is a good thing for our personal inner growth and doing it can only help us to be better. When I lose control and, for example, I get angry, I'm used to do two things: staying alone and not talking to anyone or writing writing and writing.. I can recommend to you, if you lose control of your emotions, to do something that help you to control yourself; you have to find a way to calm down.. crying, writing, talking with someone, staying alone and thinking, getting distracted.. are all ways to control our emotions and everyone have to find his own. Often it’s just a matter of time..

    Francesca Gozzelino-Italy

    I often think my emotions are under control, only sometimes anger is not, but when it is so I always try to take a deep breath and calm down. To people who don’t have their emotions under control, I recommend taking a deep breath and trying to be positive, whatever happened is not the end of the world. Knowing how to control your emotions is important and if you can’t do that you could talk to someone like your parents, a friend or a psychologist. When someone bothers me I try to talk to him, try to understand the reason for his gestures and if I’m doing something wrong.

    Arianna Masoero

    Keeping our emotions under control is very difficult and wrong: if we experience certain emotions, in fact, there will be a reason. Instead, what is good to keep under control are the reactions to emotions, often uncontrolled, that can accidentally hurt someone. So my advice is to take a deep breath to try and limit our reactions.

    Alice Rizzo

    Certainly, keeping emotion under control is very difficult but it is also wrong because we need to let off steam and express what we have inside us. We have to do this in the correct way! I think, for example that doing sports can help us to bring out the anger. We can also take advantage from our emotion and all of this is wonderful!

    Marco Caprini

    Isn’t always easy for everyone to understand the emotions they feel, someone keeps calm and thinks a lot about their feelings but a lot of people struggle to really understand them. For this I want to suggest some of my method to think about what happens, for example when I have some mental breakdowns I try to write my feelings on the note of the telephone. I try to commute my emotions in words that make me feel better and help me to find a solution to resolve a problem or maybe only to tidy the thoughts in my head. A lot of things bothers me but I always try to resolve them better then I can, also if this isn’t always easy.

    Maria Motta-Italy

    I think that is very difficult to keep our emotions under control, expecially in this period of our live, but in my opinion we have to find a way for keep them under control. In the most of the case I recommend to take a deep breathe and try to understand why we are feeling them. We don’t have to hide our emotion because they are a part of us, but we have to try to to control them as much as possible because sometimes they could hurt other people.

    Matilda Manavella

    Keeping emotions under control it's not always as easy as everybody think. It is also not easy to recommend what to do when you lose control because each one is different from another . For example my way to try to stay calm it's listening to music and it's still not easy. Many people find peaceful meditating or dancing . Maybe concentrate in other things such as books or films could help you not thinking about it. You could also try to speak about it with someone who might have been in your situation.

    Milena Ferroni, Italy

    I think it is very difficult to keep our emotions under control,and when we are angry,sad or worried, we often act without reasoning,or we often feel alone and think that everybody is against us. So controlling our fellings is very important to feel good with ourselves and others. For example, listening to music,doing a sport and crying are three things that help me to feel better,because it is as if I free myself from a big burner. I am usually worried during a test at school,because I don't want to disappoint myself and the expectations of others, so to feel good, I take a breath,I SMILE and I think only of what I am doing. I belive that if something bothers us,we will talk with our friends about it,listen their advice and then try to improve.

    Sofia Rossi, Italy

    When something bothers me, I take a deep breath and try to relax myself.
    I start conuting the breaths I take and then I think about the problem that bothers me and maybe finding a way to make it stop; I know it's difficult because we think that we have to react to everything that happens to us but we have to be rational and, as it's been taught to us, try to think about it with a clear and calm mind; it's more difficult to solve the problem if we create others first!

    Giulia Dimonte

    I think it’s very difficult to keep our emotions under control, expecially when we’re angry. But we have to keep calm and behave well. We always have to express ourself : this is human and beautiful, but we have to do it in the right way!!!

    Aitor.Laviana

    I believe that emotions are for something and should not be controlled, if you are happy about something or because you have won something, you should let your emotions out, just like if it is something bad and you want to cry because you should not be ashamed and cry if the body asks you to.

    Elena Diaz-Spain

    Some emotions are hard to explain and also difficult to control. Sometimes you're sad, happy… and you don't know why. I control my emotions, but when I get angry I don't.

    Erika - Laviana (Spain)

    Keeping emotions under control is something very difficult and requires a lot of self-knowledge. Obviously, emotions like happiness does not need to be controlled and there are others like surprise or fear, almost impossible to manage. I think the most important is, like I said before, knowing yourself. If you know how you´re going to react you are better able to take a deep breath and tell yourself to be calm. This takes a long time, but once you get it it's much more optimal.
    Usually and specially in high school my concerns are my marks. I´m very demanding with myself and I become sad when they´re lower than I spect. At the end, I try to focus in anything that and I enjoy to avoid further crushing me.

    Nerea Rubio - Laviana , Spain

    It's very difficult to control our emotions, but they are part of us and we have to learn to control them. When you're upset, try to breathe several times and calm down so you don't do anything you might regret. When you're sad, you don't always have to shut up and keep it to yourself, you can tell someone what's wrong with you or cry to vent

    Andrea Martinez - Spain

    I think it's very difficult to control emotions, but in my opinion we have to find a way to control them. When you are sad try to do other things to forget about your problems.

    Cristina López(Laviana)

    I think none of us know how to control all our emotions, some better than others but I think there are very few people who know how to do it. If you don't know how to control an emotion, the best thing you can do is try not to have it, clearly if it is bad But if you can't avoid it, try to calm and react as best you can to that emotion.
    When something bothers me, what I try to do is calm down, many times I don't get it. What bothers me the most in high school is when I study hard for an exam or do something I do a lot of work on and don't get the grade I was hoping to get.

    Miguel-laviana

    I think that emotions are something that we all have and we should not be ashamed to be more sensitive or less, if we want to cry we should do it if we want to scream too and if we want to laugh too, emotions should not embarrass us

    Vanessa Cuetos- Laviana (Spain)

    In my opinion, I think it is difficult to keep our emotions under control. My advice is to try to relax when something bothers us and focus on finding a way to improve the situation. Many times the best way to unleash is to cry and we should not be ashamed of it.

    Yuwairia Izhar. Melilla, Spain

    It is very difficult for all our emotions to be under control. It is something that requires a lot of practice. If I am in a situation where a friend has her emotions under control but she always gets angry, that is to say that she has anger out of control I would tell her that there is no reason to be angry there is What to stop being negative and be more positive after all, it is useless to be like this. A tip to not lose control of your emotions is not to think about now, that is, in the present, always think about consequences that will have that change of emotions in you in the future. Courage everything will be fine.

    Mohamed Lahata Melilla-Spain

    When I feel scared or afraid (fear) I associate it with the death of a relative, while my partner Sabir associates it with doing things quickly and not realizing it. I believe that we have our emotions under control because after having a bad move with our feelings, in the end we always find the solution. What I recommend is to keep calm. To keep calm, what I do is play anti-stress games, as is the case with the spinner.

    Mohamed Lahata Melilla-Spain

    I try to accommodate or fix what bothers me. What really bothers me when I am at school is that you have to be in the yard and not on the street like other institutes do. In the house, what bothers me is the neighborhood in which we live.

    Adam El Moumni Melilla- Spain

    I think that not all of us can have our emotions under control, it is something very difficult since nowadays people hate more than they love. When I feel angry, because someone has insulted me, the best thing I do is move away and calm down so there is no problem. Instead, my partner Dina, what she does is let herself be carried away by bad intentions and argue with the person who has insulted her. I recommend that you do not listen to those insults and move on from the subject to have everything under control. In order not to listen to the insults of others, it is best to listen to music that we relax or like.

    Adam El Moumni Melilla-Spain

    What bothers me the most in class is that there are people talking and they don't let the teachers explain. At home, what bothers me most is when I'm asleep and there is a neighbor who starts yelling or making noise

    Carlota, Laviana

    I think that emotions are something spontaneous, and they happen with a reason. Like if you pass a test that you have prepared a lot, you will be very happy. Also I think that is a very important thing of the people and also is a way that we use to express and to vent.
    Mi opinion is that you cannot or you shouldn't hide how you feel in that moment because is bad for you.

    Asma Kariouh,Spain

    I think almost all emotions are under control, but there are some that are not, for example, anger. When I feel the anger, I scream a lot, my partner Francesca stamps her feet on the ground ...
    When this happens, I try to stay calm and count to 10. I recommend that you do the same.

    Asma,Spain

    When something bothers me I try to stay calm.
    In my secundary school it bothers me when people run and scream down the hallways.
    At home it bothers me that my brothers take my things without permission.

    Mohamed El Ouarti (Spanish-Melilla)

    In my opinion, emotions are part of human naturalness. Because they give us information about what we are experiencing and help us know how to react.
    Also, we can all be more aware of our emotions but we have to practice it a lot.

    Amin Cherif El Kadiri (Melilla-Spain)

    From my point of view, I think almost everyone knows how to control our emotions, however, for those who don't find it easy to keep their emotions under control, in this case, I would recommend that they always try to find solutions to the problems and don't worry too much, also for my part I would try to talk to an adult for advice.

    Amin Cherif El Kadiri (Melilla-Spain)

    If there is something that bothers me, I try to accept things as they are, I try not to criticize anything or anyone, and I adapt to that situation and if I feel too overwhelmed I try to get away from that place.
    What bothers me the most in school is when my classmates badly criticize each other and all this ends up being a fight, it is a situation that I don't like at all, it is a situation that has become very common in our society and there isavoid it.
    What bothers me the most when I'm at home is when my little brother doesn't stop bothering me when I do my homework, since my brother likes to play a lot, he wants to have fun with me but when I'm busy he doesn't stopannoy me.

    Houssam Lahyani -Spain- Melilla

    It depends on what emotions, I have them or not under control, for example if something makes me very angry because I doubt that it has control but still it is tried. We can keep everything under control if we get an idea of ​​what is out of control does not matter and thus loses interest and does not feel emotion.
    Nothing bothers me at all because what you do today you do tomorrow and so every day and then then few things change and you do not realize it but it is the same as always, in my personal opinion.

    Sabir Benaribi(Melilla,Spain)

    I have been looking at a few and I believe that in the face of certain emotions it is inevitable to keep control on oneself (I am an example of it) and one advice that you could give is to keep calm, analyze the situation and take a deep breath.

    Sabir Benaribi(Melilla,Spain)

    This question really makes me reflect on how I act and how I am emotionally, on the one hand I consider myself a calm person who, no matter how difficult it may be, surpasses ,but on the other hand in different situations emotionally I can completely lose control over my actions and I can get to do things that later when I reflect on them have not seemed correct (not always)and I guess we’ve all had problems both at home and at school and they’re really easy to fix when you sit down and think for sure what you’re going to do.

    NUHAILA HAMMOUDI BEGRAOUI 4ºA (Melilla, Spain)

    In my opinion, I think that sometimes it is difficult to control our emotions since everyone has their own personality and they face it differently. For example, when I cry I wipe away tears and relax, others just go for a walk to calm down.

    Jadiya Abibou/Spain

    In my opinion, controlling emotions is important for every human being in his day to day; and it is that the control of emotions, both negative and positive, calms the mind and allows us to face difficult decision-making, unpleasant situations and stages of change. Get our state of concentration is greater and we think much more clearly, leaving aside the feelings and exacerbated emotions

    KAMAL HAMED OUATAT 4ºA

    1)From my point of view, I think almost everyone knows how to control our emotions, however, for those who don't find it easy to keep their emotions under control,And if there was someone who didn't have their emotions under control, I would tell them to control their emotions in certain situations and their problems.

    KAMAL HAMED OUATAT(melilla,spain)

    2)What bothers me the most in class is that there are people who nominate to laugh and don't let the teachers explain. At home, what bothers me the most is when I am asleep and my neighbors start making noise or playing loud music.

    Musa Mohamed Ali MELILLA, SPAIN

    I can most of the time keep most of my emotions under control even if it's hard for me. I say almost all because anger and joy are two that I can almost never control them. In my opinion I would recommend that the first thing to keep emotions under control would be to calm down and see if this could be solved. Like when someone makes me angry, I try not to fight and get away from the situation, but sometimes I can't control myself, especially if I'm alone.

    Daniel Torre Spain

    I think it´s very difficult to control our emotions, but we must to learn to control it. If you don´t control your emotions, maybe you can do things that you don´t want to do. I think too, when you grow up, you learn some thing about yourself, so you can control your emotions better.

    Gabriel - Laviana

    I think it is not impossible to keep our emotions "under control";, it is difficult, but not impossible. For example, when we are angry, sad or lonely, it is difficult to keep these emotions under control, but we must do it in the best possible way for our own good and for the good of others. My way of trying to keep emotions under control is always the same, the music. There's nothing better than a song we like to cheer us up.
