as
prayer, forgiveness, acceptance, and passion.
The human emotions are the most feared aspect of the self, as individuals
are reluctant and unprepared to manage them. Managing feelings is like trying to
hold water in the palm of your hand. They are illusive and deceptive. A decision
made under emotional stress and strain usually impacts emotions
negatively.Negative emotions that are not managed are stored and repressed.
Repression is destructive to a content self since all feelings, not only negative ones
are stored away. Accessing feelings when they are needed now becomes difficult,
leaving the
individual numb and hopeless.
For instance, a girl realizes that she is giving much attention on the physical
aspects and less attention on her intellectual self. In this way, she can discover how
much money and time spent maintaining her physique and its consequences in her
grades. By this honest evaluation of herself, she can plan effective actions to improve
her study habits. She can start seeking for help and for related books to read or
browse articles to help her improve her study habits.
