Emotions are a vital part of our lives because it stems from one of the two most vital organs of the body and as such has a great influence in our lives. We can all relate with the manner in which positive emotions like love, happiness and faith can elevate and propel us to success. And on the other hand negative emotions like anger, hate, worry and anxiety bring upon us ill health, bad luck and failure.

Therefore learning to control and direct our emotions to positivity is crucial to our growth and development. Self-development can never be successful without being able to produce positive emotions which are relevant to success. The energy we produce and send out to the universe are our emotions. And so if you choose to emit negative energy, guess what you are going to get back? Yes, negative responses. Then you start to wonder why things do not go right. That is the moment you see people going from church to mosque looking for a spiritual solution.

Meditation is one of the ways with which you can control your emotions. It only takes you at least 5 minutes - people who adopt it as a way of life can take up to 30 minutes or more to achieve more - to drown any negative emotions you feel starting to build up within you. Within those 5 minutes you need to calm and empty your mind of all thoughts. You can take full advantage of these 5 minutes by focusing on positive emotions. You can also drift into a world of your own where everything is as you want it to be in your life. Trust me when those 5 minutes are over, you would feel much better and relaxed. For best results, make out time to do this everyday and watch how your life transforms into absolute awesomeness.
