Being Centered In Everything You Do, Stops You From Being Manipulated In A Fight

How you do one thing, is how you are going to do everything else. Whether it be consciously or unconsciously. A person who has problems controlling their emotions will be the easiest adversary to defeat, because their anger will blind them. Anger stops an individual from seeing what is right before their eyes, due to their emotions being out of whack. When your emotions are high, your intelligence is low, because your emotions  will be clouding your rational mind, leading you to not reason clearly. Have you ever heard of a person committing murder and had no criminal background? They say they blacked out and did not remember what happened. Some do black out and others do not, but both become a victim to their emotions. They are filled with such rage, that their lower nature takes over. Even close relatives and friends of that person have problems believing that they did the act. That person’s emotions were so high, that they lost control and did something out of their character.

How can you start to control your emotions? By taking deep breaths to ground yourself and thinking of the consequences and where you will end up if you act in that moment. Apply it in day to day events that push your patience, like when someone does an annoying thing that makes you upset. It can be when a friend, parent, or child does something. Your job is to take deep breaths, think of where your actions will ultimately land you if you respond, and walk away. Come back to it later when you are calm. Take control of the situation and do not let it control you.

This is not only to avoid an argument or a fight, this can be used during the fight as well. In a brawl, someone may say something or do something that takes you over the edge and it is usually during that time your enemy can catch you off guard, because you acted without thinking. You have taken the bait. In a fight your mind has to be clear, calm, and aware of the present moment. Ready to react to whatever your adversary does. If your opponent can disturb your peace and get your emotions to fog up your thinking, you will not be at your best in that moment of life or in a fight. A person who is able to do that controls you. They can make you do things out of your character and either make you lose the fight or lose the game of life. The genesis of this behavior starts at home. Do your kids or spouse know how to push your buttons? They control you. It is understandable people do things from time to time that will upset you, but if it is a constant day to day, week to week thing, there is a problem; and you need to take back your power and not let people play with your emotions all the time. If you do not, you will be a puppet dancing on their strings of manipulation, whether you are aware of it or not. So, if your opponent does something to piss you off during a fight, ground yourself by taking deep breaths, relaxing, then channeling that energy intently on your adversary until you are ready to strike.
