    Dear Kevin,

     

    Emotional mastery to me means that your inner stability is present despite the circumstances and your boundaries are so clear that the environment really does not affect you. If there is any chaos or conflict outside (for example at the airport), one should be able to maintain his calmness and happiness anyway no matter how anyone else feels or behaves.

    Such a state does not come by itself but demands continuos presence (you could call it for example mindful state). When thinking about meaningful and happy life, there are other factors as well equally important as emotional mastery. (Frankly I am not even sure if emotional mastery 100 % is even possible.) I write down some words, which feel essential, when thinking about meaningful happiness. Feel free to spend time to reflect on them and their meaning in your life.

     

    – Compassion and self compassion

    – Gratitude

    – Empathy

    – Forgiveness

    – Inner peace and joy

     

    (Oops, for some reason the first paragraph seems different.)

    Hi Kevin,

    Releasing your expectations, planning ahead, and leaving enough buffer time are good practices of Emotional Mastery in airports. Something always happens while travelling nowadays. Always.

    My family gave me an “intervention” of sorts because I was becoming a recluse. I don’t do airports LOL.

    Well last week I had to “do an airport”. My reserved car wasn’t ready and my son lost his luggage on the way back, but I got through it. So you see it’s all mental.

    Oh, and I only do two carry on bags!!

    Best,

    Inky

    Susannah,

    I think you made a good point then you said “Such a state does not come by itself but demands continuos presence”.  EM definitely takes a focus.  I think our circumstances do influence, or make EM easier or harder, but we can handle a lot if we work at it.

    Inky,

    “Releasing your expectations, planning ahead, and leaving enough buffer time are good practices of Emotional Mastery in airports” is good advice.  I was talking to a friend about the current flying environment these days.  People seem to have unreasonable expectation, at times.  Can one really plan on showing up to an airport an hour before a flight, getting to their destination airport, and being  at their desired location 30 minutes later without leaving room for any hiccups along the way? Generally speaking, when flying, or doing anything, we should plan on bringing our patience and planning for the unplanned.  This helps foster EM.
