Ever feel a nearly overwhelming sudden urge to take action? This is called Impulse and can be incredibly dangerous at times, like when one is in a moment of extreme emotion. Though these happen on a daily basis, it is best to know how to deal with such emotions, because if one does it helps them achieve a better understanding as well as a higher level of happiness.

Dealing with extreme emotions is important especially since it gives people a better understanding towards their actions and others. For example, a boy is furious over failing a test, but by finding self-control, was able to ask the teacher and realize what how did wrong, allowing him to understand better and ace the next test on the subject. While this seems like a simple fix, those feeling, those emotions might not understand how such feelings impact their person. To illustrate, a girl, Anna, is under extreme stress and sadness, also known as depression, from the loss of a loved one. One would say it’s easy to cure depression, but like fury most extreme emotions are difficult to overcome. But if Anna can do so, through support and family, Anna will feel happier, than she’s probably ever felt. Like the Boy and Anna, both depression and fury are extreme emotions , and may be hard to control, but if one can it will lead to a better understanding.

Happiness is something most people strive for, but when a person must deal with extreme emotions it brings more hardships than one should have to handle, so controlling them is essential to having a higher level of happiness. For example, a mother is having to deal with her four rowdy, hormonal teenagers, any normal person would’ve snapped beyond repair, but not her. The reason is because she learned to control her emotions at a young age, realizing there was more to life than quiet and calmness, and that she would much rather be happy and sane, then furious and bloodthirsty. Lastly, let’s imagine, a couple newly married, is moving into their dream house. The husband is carrying box in, as the wife unpacked. On the Man’s mind was a high level of anxiety and panic as he lifted the boxes off the truck. Wondering if they can really afford a house this nice and other expenses that came with it bills, insurance, etc. Though his worry was well placed it is best to look beyond anxiety and panic as well as extreme emotions like them, because by worrying a little less the Man realizes that he has nothing to worry about. Though one may never be in such situations, it is always better to look beyond the “Scary looking Fury” and “Nail-biting Anxiety” and see that happiness grows as the extreme emotions shrink.

In Conclusion, extreme emotions may be difficult to overcome and understand due to the Impulsiveness of the human mind. But by doing so one can reap the rewards that are well worth the time, achieving a better understanding and a happier life are just two of them.
