So,  knowing how to take charge of your emotions is necessary for a happy life. Controlling your emotions involves creating a balance between your expectations and your reality.

Emotions can be handled appropriately if we know the right way 

Based on this advice, let’s explore a few ways you can control your emotions, or at least emotional responses, in your relationship:

1. Communicate clearly with your partner

2. Be authentic for healthy emotional balance

3. Practice emotional balance independent of your relationship

4. Take a look at the impact of your emotions

5. Aim for regulation in your emotions, not repression

6. Identify what you’re feeling

7. Accept your emotions - All of them

8. Give yourself some space

9. Try meditation and mood journals

A journal is a good place to write down the question, “Why am I so emotional in my relationship?” It’s also a great place to let loose your feelings with no filter. A mood journal helps you record your emotions and how you respond to each one of them. Like you’d do with a food journal, you can now jot down your emotions, making them more real and palpable, and thus more manageable.

Meditation, too, could help quieten your mind and make you see things with greater clarity. Struggling with how to control your emotions in a relationship can make you fuzzy and confused. Take some time for yourself to just breathe and cleanse your mind as you begin your journey to better managed emotions.

So, if you’re constantly asking yourself, “Why am I so emotional in my relationship?”, remember that you’re not alone. We all battle to express our emotions in a healthy manner and unlearn years of conditioning and repression that tell us one or the other emotion is too much or too little. And that every relationship has emotions beyond happiness. Show yourself and your feelings some love. You’ve got this.

FAQs

1. Why is it important to practice the balance of emotions in a relationship?

Practicing a balance of emotions in a relationship ensures that you don’t put undue stress on your own emotional health, or your partner’s. When you react with extreme emotion to everything, it makes mountains out of molehills, leaving you and your partner exhausted and resentful.

2. How do I stop being so emotional in my relationship?

Identify and accept your emotions, no matter how negative or overwhelming they may seem. Remember that every emotion is valid and that even the happiest relationship does not mean that you’re happy all the time. Anger, resentment, jealousy, and so on are part and parcel of every relationship.

3. How do I train myself to be less emotional?

Understand that not every situation requires an intense reaction. If you feel like you’re about to explode, give yourself space and time and practice things like mood journaling and meditation. Remember that emotional outbursts impact people around you and could deeply hurt your partner and your relationship.
