Hi friends!, greetings from Lagos Nigeria.

How is it going from your end?
My end is moving amazing.

I welcome you all to my entry of the #steem4nigeria accelerator contest week 35.

In this week's contest we are to write about emotions and how it affects our dreams and decisions.

Emotions are either positive or negative feelings that makes one to react in a particular way.

Emotions are basically influenced by the happenings around an individual.

In the positive part; when one win a contract, or make huge profit from an investment, or get engaged to be married, or get a huge vote from 01/02, or builds a house, buys a car, wins a scholarship, welcomes a new born baby etc, the person's emotion will be triggard for happiness.

While in the negative, when one looses his job, lost a loved one, looses money in an investment, sick, receives a sad news etc, such person's emotion tends to go towards unhappiness.

Which ever mood one is, it tends to reflect in the person's physical appearance and attitude at the moment.

Yes I have a couple of times and I will talk about it here.

When I Lost My Dad:

When I got the news of loosing my dad, it was a very sad moment for me.

I was so unhappy for weeks, nothing anyone around me does that ever made me happy.

I lost appetite of eating for 2 weeks and I was never hungry.

Everything that makes one happy was useless to me, at that point nothing ever made me happy.

When I Lost An International Contract Connection:

I got this video editing contract with a doctor in the US.

When I got this contract I was so very happy, because it was going to be a long term job if we deliver.

I don't have knowledge of video editing, so I got someone that knows how to do editing very well.

I gave him the job at his terms, and I also explained to him to just focus on delivery let's build relationship first, then the bigger money will come.

At the end, he messed the whole stuff up, he delayed the delivery with the excuse that the job payment is not worth the stress.

I lost the contract and I was so mad about it, those kinds of opportunities don't come so often.

Maintaining An Inner Peace:

I've learnt that one can maintain an inner peace that will cause you not to be affected by the environmental factors.

Though this peace is not mechanical or man made, it is only God that can give that peace.

When you yield yourself totally to God, there is a peace that passes all understanding that he will feel your heart with.

So in the midst of problems one will still have that peace.

Maintaining A Positive Mindset:

Emotions are always dictated by the things that happens around us, either positively or negatively.

So one of the ways to deal with your emotions is by maintaining a Positive Mindset.

Try to always think of the positive things that God has done, instead of always dwelling in the negative ones.

Think of the good things that had happened to you over the years and the little achievements you have made so far.

Live a Life Of Gratitude:

Always be thankful for the very little achievements you have ever made, no matter how small they look.

Be grateful for life every day, this is one thing I don't fail to do. Because I have tested being so sick and I have tested being healthy, and I know that they are not the same state.

Every day you wake up, be grateful for life and sound health.
Then thank God for your little or much achievements.

Practice A Positive Confession:

No matter the situation surrounding you, don't build a negative confession.

Always maintain a Positive Confession, it will do something to your mind.

No matter how bad the situation has gone, just be positive and also confess positive, it gives you this feeling that all is well.

Surround Yourself With Positive Minded People:

There are people that are saddist, don't let those kind of persons into your circle.

Surround yourself with people that has Positive vibes, vibes are contagious, it will in off on you.

If you surround yourself with friends that are always regretting their lives and actions, you will soon become a sadist.

So surround yourself with people with good Positive vibes.

All these techniques are very good approach in dealing with emotions, they seems insignificant, but they are powerful and the works.

Yes, I stongly believe that emotions can influence someone and stop him/her from achieving their goal.

Your emotions affects your mind and your behavioral pattern.

So once the mind is affected, he will start behaving and taking decisions based on his mindset at the moment.

NB: The man is the mind

So if the person's emotion or mindset has drifted from his initial goal, he goes no where until his mindset is changed again.

That is why motivational speakers will always say: "Change your mindset".

Remember everything that happens affects the mind, and once the mind is affected, the action pattern of that person is been afted too.

Thank you @steem4nigeria, this is my input in this contest
