Emotion

Emotion is A person's internal state of being and involuntary physiological response to an object. Emotion can be suppressed or regulated, but just for a moment especially through distraction. We can choose to suppress sadness, but it can only become successful if we distract our mind from the things that make us sad and focus on something differently, else, it would always creep in if the mind is idle. Emotions are involuntary, our internal state responds on its own to different situations. But we can train our brain to look at certain situations in a different perspective, making it have little impact on us.

The more we are exposed to a situation, the easier for us to regulate the usual emotional response to such a situation. It's easier for someone who has been exposed to pain for a long time to suppress it compared to someone who is exposed to it for the first time or just for a short time. To suppress or regulate emotion, the duration to which we have been exposed to it matters a lot. I once worked in a hospital, my response to the death of a patient over time drifted as I became more exposed to similar situations.

Emotional suppression or regulation is possible through a stem decision. Sometimes it's difficult to stay happy when everything around us is failing. It takes a hard decision to stay happy when things are down , but we can distract this decision by arguing with reasons why we need to be happy amidst our circumstances. Sometimes people say "as long as there's life, there's hope". Some would say, "I'm better than certain people '', such kind of mindsets regulate our emotions to circumstances. To regulate or suppress certain emotions, it requires a change of mindset that sees beyond the present underlying cause of the emotion. Emotion can be worked upon, change your mindset and make stem decisions.
