Since ancient times it has been recommended that in times of great disturbances we should not make major decisions in our lives.
Thus, great anger, great joy and great sadness must act as an "alarm clock" of reason so that you do not make decisions in those moments. First calm down, distance yourself from the emotions and once you have calmed down, decide.

A study by Harvard University affirms that we spend almost half of our time thinking about things that are not what we are doing at that moment (a song that has gotten into our heads, this that I have been told, what if...).
Mindfulness is the ability to concentrate fully on what we are doing at any given moment. In addition to the fashion of the moment, there are already abundant programs of study that show that the ability to bring out our best version, creativity, the quality of our relationships or even happiness, depend largely on our ability to put 100% of our attention on what we are doing.
For this, in the resources you will find videos and articles to start developing this skill or improve it.
Dedicate 10 minutes a day for two weeks to do exercises that develop your ability to focus your attention.

If you express to yourself your inner self, you will realize how you react, what feelings certain actions provoke in you and so you will not be surprised in the next occasions.
For two weeks, dedicate 5 minutes a day to identify moments in which you have felt good and others in which you have felt bad. Identify their causes.

Growth is only possible if we expand out of the comfort zone, where there are not so many securities and it seems that more dangers lurk.
When you encounter situations that cost you, or that bother you when you see them, consider them as an opportunity to grow, to bring out the best in yourself. Think about the good things that facing them can bring you.

When something goes well, don't miss the opportunity to let many people share in that success. Acknowledge others at work and thank them for it.
And, when things go wrong, don't be too quick to judge why. Be calm to get out of status and, with serenity, evaluate what has gone wrong and if at another time you could do better.
Do not be afraid to take new actions.

Negative emotions arise with greater frequency and intensity when our habits do not lead us to take care of ourselves physically.
To prevent this, sleep the necessary (between 7 hours and average and 8 hours), do physical exercise habitually in the frequency that you consider and take care of the meals in such a way that they are balanced and never scarce.
Program yourself weekly some activity that you especially like and that you know will give you rest. In a colloquial way: give yourself a treat.
