• to gain control

And how can we control our emotions? Here are some suggestions:

1 Face the emotion. Be aware of the

feeling.

2 Analyse the situation. Are you sure that the situation really is as you think it is? Perhaps you've misinterpreted it.

3 Use up the extra energy. Do something that helps you 'let off steam'.

4 Do something that improves the situation. For example, if you

are afraid of failing an exam, work on the subject so there is no reason to fear. If you

are afraid of talking to people

at a party, practise going up to

people and talking to them.
