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.
First three facts about emotions:

Emotions aren't trustworthy.
You're not going to master this.
Emotions aren't your boss.

Then three practical steps for being in charge of your emotions:

Acknowledge feelings to God.
Ask God to reveal the truth. Feelings lie.
Pause- think and then act instead of reacting.
