  • Emotional Self Control

    Emotional self control is a little discussed facet of being a strong woman. Being able to boss yourself around instead of being led by how you feel will make you a more joyful woman and allow you to better serve those around you. But how do you start this? It's a process and we're going to break it down for you.

    1. Emotions aren't trustworthy.
    2. You're not going to master this.
    3. Emotions aren't your boss.
    4. Then three practical steps for being in charge of your emotions:

      1. Acknowledge feelings to God.
      2. Ask God to reveal the truth. Feelings lie.
      3. Pause- think and then act instead of reacting.
      4. Bible References:

        Proverbs 16:32
