What is your understanding of emotions?

Well,in my own understanding of emotions.emotion can be seen as mood, feeling that one can react to at anytime and it is also those feeling we have attached to us especially when doing something. When you have that fear of not wanting to fail then we can say emotions is at work.
Our Emotions can be our weakness and can also make us stronger, it trace who we really are, how we can react to certain things and carry our selves around people.
Example of emotions is-
fear-is one the emotion or feeling of and anxiety, excessive fear can lead to anxiety disorders.
Frustration -this on the other hand is a negative emotion or feeling of grief, loss, disappointment.
Anger - it has a strong negative feeling of frustration. Anger is commonly in humans but if it is not well controlled it can have some negative effects.so those are all emotions that we all experienced in our daily interactions.
Have you ever had emotions that made you lose yourself? tell us about it.
Last week ago. I lost it. Feeling intensely lonely and needing something in the way of companionship, I went took alcohol in other for me to be able to sleep,for way,it rather makes me restless and uneasy.Talking to the people that at least will make me laugh a bit, I was feeling stressed and angry. I couldn't understand why I'd had to take alcohol as a sleeping tablet when I have Jesus who is the author and the finisher of faith.
Staring at my wall for all night was hard and It was hard to sleep all alone while thoughts keep shuffling in my head.
Do you know how to be humiliated by people you so love,prayed for daily? 😭
Last week Thursday, there's was this money I was to share to the choiresters since am the music director by the grace of God.The money was given by His Excellency Pastor Umoh Eno but not directly,but another person.
I was to give them certain amount each,but when I called the other guy that shared the money,he said anyhow I want to do with the money I should do,that he has carried his own share not knowing that he had already told people that am to give them certain amount.
When I sent the money to them them a certain choirester went to the choir platform abuse me, call me names and lure others to join and abuse me.Her own wasn't painful,but people I list expected can talk nor abuse me, betrayed me.someone I so rely on.
Meanwhile these are the people God gave me to lead are the same people persecuting me.i was humiliated,sad and lonely for days.
I didn't want to respond nor curse any of them because I know the God I serve,He will react immediately.Rather I asked them to resend their account numbers to me and I returned all the money to them.Some sent me recharge card and some send apology messages.
That made me lose myself because I wasn't able to attend .
I was only revived when my father in the Lord sent for me,he advice me on what to do and he further said that their reactions was a test of leadership.
The Bible says "and David encouraged himself in the Lord" as from that day I was encouraged and I promise my God that I will never stop serving Him, I'll serve Him in season and out of season.
I want to encourage someone,no matter what you go through in life don't take alcohol as your sleeping pills because it's dangerous, rather run to God.
Explain 5 ways to deal with emotions.
To deal with emotions you have to identify the cause of the emotion, it helps us to deal with the emotion and feelings to avoid story that touches the heart .
When we get to identify what we feel we have to accept that we feel the way we feel because we are humans. It's okay to feel hurt, we feel this because we're alive. Acceptance brings about knowing how to handle the feelings.
Take your emotions as a temporary thing.so many people don't know what they feel, and can't tell when their moods flip, because when once you identify your feelings that's the first step to deal with emotions,don't allow anything to control you.Acknowledge and accept it it's natural
Nothing is as beautiful as self care. Self care helps you recover and appreciate yourself more. When you have time to reflect on how your emotions affect you, you'll be in a better position to handle your emotions. Also having people around who you could talk to at times help us as they offer a good support base and help with our emotions
Focusing on your breath can help you slow down so you can think calmly about how to respond to an emotion.
You have to learn how to shift your reactions when you're in emotional situations, don't overreact
🔹Do you think emotions could hinder someone from achieving their dreams?
Yes,emotions can definitely hinder someone from achieving their dreams for example anger and fear or feeling anxious can make a person lose focus on what he or she is doing, and that can hinder someone from achieving his or her goals.
Considering all this,one has to remember that emotions are not always negative for example positive emotions like happiness and Optimism can be a great source of motivation and inspiration to achieve one's dreams.
Emotions only hinder someone from achieving his or her dreams when you don't let go of the painful past.
CONCLUSION
We must learn how to express our feelings and emotions in a good way, because our emotions also have effects on others.

Thank you dear,I really appreciate.
Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that you had a tough time last week. Feeling lonely and needing companionship can be really difficult. It sounds like you turned to alcohol to help you sleep, but instead, it made you feel restless and uneasy. I understand how talking to people who can make you laugh can provide some relief, but you were still feeling stressed and angry. It's understandable that you questioned why you resorted to alcohol when you have your faith in Jesus, who is a source of strength and comfort.
Staring at the wall all night and struggling to sleep alone while thoughts keep racing in your head must have been really hard. It's important to remember that we all have moments when we feel down and seek different ways to cope. It's great that you recognize the support and solace you can find in your faith. Remember that reaching out to others who share your beliefs and finding comfort in prayer can be helpful during challenging times. Wishing you all the best.
