What three steps need to be taken to develop emotionally?

Step 1: Recognising the emotion

- People need to stop and allow themselves to feel its effects particularly in their bodies

- Then the emotion needs to be named.

- Many people try to avoid dealing with their emotions

- Recognising emotions is a necessary and healthy response

- Benefits can be gained from learning to recognise emotions for what they are - a part of a person's life experience that helps them develop

- Emotions can build up and cause inner tension, stress and even burst out in uncontrollable ways that can cause great harm to people's health or their relationships.

Step 2: Accepting the emotion

- Try to understand what has caused the emotion and whether the emotion was appropriate in the situation

- Some people get confused from their emotions

Step 3: Making a choice to direct an emotion

- A few considerations that need to be thought of:

Is the response appropriate to the situation?

Will the response restore or strengthen relationships?

Will the response bring inner peace?

- Jesus directed his disciples to take in resolving differences between them by giving each person the opportunity to give their say of the disagreement

- Individuals can learn to express their emotions appropriately using them to do what is right live according to their ideals and other inner gifts.
