Sometimes I wonder how strange and complex our emotional guidance system is. It's really like the weather. It changes too often. This moment we are smiling, and may be a moment later we are flooded with tears or shouting at someone. Don't you feel hopeless dealing with this fickle behaviour of your emotion?
I can understand your situation. I have been through this phase. I have seen this in my relationship, my family and in my friends. The friend who used to call me 'best pal' till yesterday, suddenly became mad at me. My parent who was very proud of me till I lived my life on their terms, suddenly became angry with me because of my decision of being an Entrepreneur.
I used to become very confused. How to react on these situations? I used to feel very frustrated. "How can my parents talk to me like this?" "How can my spouse be mad at me, if she loves me so much?" And these frustration had eaten a lot out of me. I can still remember those sleepless nights, where I kept asking myself "How can they...?" "Why don't they change?" But tragically God never listened to me. So I decided to do something. I went deep down in my mind, and thought why people react like that. Realised something. And then came to the interpretation
Emotions are like Weather. It can change at any moment. So better to keep an umbrella with you always. It will help you in the rain to keep yourself dry, and also protect you from the sun during sunny days. So let me suggest you some steps to build the umbrella which can protect you from sudden change emotional weather
1. Learn to Accept: Acceptance is the first step of creating peace within you. So first accept that this is the intrinsic nature of emotion. It changes. So be prepared for it mentally. I am not saying that you live with a worry all time that "Any moment my parents can be mad at me" or "my spouse may shout at me after getting back home". I am just saying, it shouldn't come to you as a shock or frustration. Imagine you are going to office in a sunny morning, suddenly the weather changes and it starts raining and you become all wet. What the matter being frustrated? It happens, there are no way that you could knew beforehand. So you accept it.
2. Stop Expecting: Expectation is the root of all evil. The sooner you learn this, better you can live rest of your live. We use to expect a lot from others people, specially those whom we love most. "My parents should always be supportive" "My spouse should welcome me with a smile when I would get back from work" "My boss will always praise me" . Hey stop dreaming. Let me drag you down to reality. As you can never predict the weather, you can never predict someone else's mood or emotion, however close he or she may be to you. So better stop expecting.
3. Don't React: In my previous example, when you are all wet on the way to office, if you shout staring at the sky, cursing some unknown God (or the cloud) for screwing your day (and your dress), will it help? No! It will make the situation worse. Same in case of emotion, if you see someone is behaving with you unexpectedly, don't react much. It will make it worse.
4. This Too Will Pass Soon: Learn a golden secret "Neither good moments nor bad moments last too long" So when cloud covers the sun, sun doesn't stay covered for eternity. Same is for emotions. While dealing with changing emotion, remind yourself that everything will be fine.
5. Be the Change You Want to See in Others: Now this can actually magically protect you from facing changing emotion. Learn to control your emotion yourself. Make sure your emotion doesn't change too quickly. When people around you will see, that you are evolving to a better person, there is 99% chance that they will feel the urge to change themselves too.
