Mastering Emotional Control for Better Reactions

In the video "How do you control your emotions" from Leila Hormozi, the first thing you have to understand is that emotional control does not mean a lack of emotion. Oftentimes, you see somebody who seems very emotionally controlled, and what people assume without even thinking—because this makes no sense—is that that person lacks emotion; they have less emotion than they do. But in reality, that person has just as much emotion as you. In order to control something, it must be present; therefore, you must have emotions in order to have emotional control. So what is it that those people have that people who don't have emotional control lack? They have learned how to control their reactions to their emotions. They can have big emotions without having big reactions.

Emotional control does not mean feeling less. It means responding thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively. Understand that everyone has strong feelings; the key is mastering your responses.

Leila Hormozi emphasizes that mastering emotional control doesn't mean suppressing feelings, but rather managing reactions to those emotions. By understanding that everyone experiences intense emotions, Hormozi encourages individuals to cultivate a mindset where they can feel deeply without being overwhelmed by their feelings. Her insights suggest practical strategies for navigating emotional reactions, helping you respond thoughtfully rather than impulsively. This mastery fosters resilience and improves interpersonal dynamics, critical traits in both personal and professional environments.
