Men: Beware Of Your Emotions

Angry young man look attract people to you. Is that so? Well, our so many Hollywood flicks make us believe that coolness in men is necessary and it is the quality that makes girls fall head over heels for them! Rather, it makes many men believe that they have to have the cool attitude may whatever happens in their emotional sphere. It seems fine for women to show their emotions, but for men, a strict “NO”! Surprisingly, women’s health and fitness is much more stable emotionally than men.

Leaving aside the societal norms, if we ask experts on psychology, they have an altogether different opinion to share. According to them, unspoken emotions can cause more harm to men than women. It is true that most women speak out to at least someone in their family or friends, and keep themselves emotionally stable despite their exhibition of emotions. On the contrary, men tend to suppress their emotions virtually at every juncture of life and therefore succumb more to varied emotional illnesses!



What are the emotional illnesses?

Well, the list is not very different from other lists of illnesses. The emotional illnesses are nothing but the illnesses developed from stress. Therefore, they obviously include hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and psychological overlay. They may also suffer from solitude, isolation, and depression due to non-voicing out of their emotions. It is well said by experts that “if you do not cry for the occasion, your organs make you cry later!” It means that for maintaining perfect health, one needs to handle his or her emotions carefully not to get them stagnant over any issue.

What are the steps one can take to handle emotions better?

(1) Channel your emotional upset into something worthwhile. It is the best way to deal with emotions. Do the things that make you calm and serene during emotional upheavals. A classical or folk music may help for some and other may find peace in a long drive. Some people say they find it better when they are engrossed in work.

(2) Try to confess things in front of someone who can guide you better. Many men find it difficult task. But try to do it once and see how much relief you feel from the clutches of depression.

(3) Address the issue from third man’s point of view. This enables you to have better understanding of the situation and you can find solutions faster.

(4) Try to develop yourself as an emotionally free individual. Remember you are responsible for your emotional health. So, try doing things that make you a freer individual.

Men’s health and fitness experts suggest that unless men start admitting their emotional upheavals, they cannot find peace. The dreaded illnesses like cardiac problems occur due to emotional outbursts that happen so very suddenly. They are rare to happen in women who do confess their emotions. Crying out is not a crime! Remember you want to lead a healthy life and your emotions play an important part in it. Express more and live longer!
