    it just means “think through your emotions before reacting to them” basically. lotta people out there that have absolutely zero control over their emotions

      To control emotions a person has to acknowledge the emotion is their’s to manage.

      Not something magical that someone else gave them.

      EG: the incels and nice guys who blame women for making them feel rejection. Or cultures that kill women and homosexual men for making them feel erotic.

      That boils it down quite good to why it improved every aspect aspect. But I like to add it made me able to feel my emotions in the first place in some instances which then enabled me to control them and made me stop unconsciously acting them out unappropriately.
