I Am Only in Control of Myself What a Relief
We all need to control our stress, anxiety, and other negative emotions from time to time. Sometimes it feels like everything is out of control and we have little power over our own mental state. Thankfully, there are ways to take back that control. Meditation, mindfulness, and other stress-reducing techniques can help you find peace in your life when things feel chaotic. Except for that one time when you weren’t in control of your own actions and words. Oops! We all have moments where we snap or become overly angry or jealous. These things come with being human but the effects can be damaging if they happen too often or go on for too long.

What Is Loss of Control?
Loss of control happens when we are unable to regulate our own actions or emotions. It can be caused by stress, anxiety, or other mental health issues. When we lose control, we can say or do things that we normally wouldn’t, such as yelling at our friends or snapping at our partner. It can also mean feeling things at a much greater intensity than usual or having trouble thinking or focusing clearly. You might also lose control of your actions due to a medical condition, such as a seizure or a mental illness. It’s important to get help if you think you are losing control of something in your life due to these factors.
Find a Support Network
Sometimes the best way to deal with losing control is to talk to someone about what’s happening. When you feel like you are losing control of your emotions, reach out to a friend or family member that you feel comfortable talking to. If you don’t have anyone you can reach out to, you can find help through online forums. There are many groups on Facebook and other social media sites that deal with mental health issues. You can also reach out to your doctor or therapist directly. If you are visiting a therapist, they may be able to recommend a support group for you to join.
Try Breathing Exercises
Breathing exercises help you calm down and take control of your physical reaction to stress. When you are feeling anxious or having a panic attack, taking deep breaths helps you to slow down your heart rate and bring yourself back to a neutral state. Any exercise that helps you slow down your breath and focus on the moment will be helpful in taking control of your emotions.
Meditate
Even if you don’t feel like you have time for a full meditation practice, you can still get some of the benefits by taking a few minutes out of your day to focus on your breath. This is a great exercise for beginners. If you want to take your meditation practice further, try finding a meditation app or program that fits your needs and schedule. They can be a great way to build a daily meditation practice.
Take Care of Yourself Physically
Many of the ways you can take control of your mental health also benefit your physical health. Some things that can help you take care of your physical health include getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, and staying hydrated. These activities can help you manage your stress and anxiety. They can also help you avoid issues such as headaches and, in some cases, even insomnia. If you think you are losing control of your emotions, take steps to get help. Don’t be afraid to talk to someone about what’s happening. Try any of the techniques listed above to help yourself calm down and regain control. If you are in a very bad place, you can also visit your doctor or call a mental health hotline.

I don't think these people are necessarily more intelligent or have better lives than the unhappy ones but they exude the GLOW from within due to the way they react to things.
