Extreme Emotion

Walter plotted to the front door after returning home from his terminated job only to find I.R.S bills sitting on the counter. He opened the fridge and angrily grabbed a beer as his wife walked into the front room and started her usual nagging about how he doesn’t work hard enough and how he is lazy. Walt finally snapped and threw the empty beer bottle across the room. Whether it be rage, sadness, or even love dealing with extreme emotions is very important to physical and emotional health to decrease the risk of heart attacks and heart disease or build up emotional stability.
Extreme emotions can affect physical and emotional health.For example, when in rage muscles flex and tighten, the heart starts to beat and pump blood faster, and the culprit usually ends up doing something that they regret later on. Also migraines and headaches can occur after the raging is over. Stressing the heart like that over a period of time can lead to the risk of heart attacks. There are multiple heart diseases and cardiovascular diseases that can be traced back to the continual heart stresses and rage and can cause critical damage to your overall health. Dealing with this continual rage, strategies could be taking deep breaths, counting to ten, and walking away from the scene. In doing so this could prevent ,on a large scale, divorce, anxiety, and even more stress mentally and physically.
In addition, having an excess of love can become a problem also in handling extreme emotions. For example, falling “in love” or moving to quickly in a relationship causes an open heart, vulnerable to heartbreak and disappointing relationships. Getting to know the person before taking it any further, or not showing your true feelings about the person in the beginning are strategies to accompany a true relationship. Having a cautious heart can build up emotional stamina and/or lead to a long and happy relationship.
In the end having patients, unlike Walter throwing his beer across the room, having the willpower to take the time to control or get help for the extreme emotions can leave a person with overall better health.Also being cautious with your affection and heart can lead to a better and happy relationship.
