Meditation helps you to manage the triggers that cause you to lose control by acknowledging them then afterward, letting them flow into their proper compartments so that you can deal with the here and now. When you meditate, you train the brain to handle stress and anxiety and learn how to observe better and control your emotions. Here are three ways you can actively manage your emotions better:

1. Become more self-aware through breathing, observing, and being.
2. Understand that it is okay to feel both positive and negative emotions. 
3.  Achieve a state of conscious awareness by first noticing, accepting, and learning moment by moment.
