    Another sign of emotional mastery in my opinion is to be able take in negative emotions from others, filter them within yourself, and put out only clean, positive, forward moving emotions and responses.

    I dealt with severe anger issues due to ptsd associated with adolescent trauma for many years. As I started to normalize in my late 20s and early 30s the first thing I did was almost completely give up anger, I figured I spent 15+ years of my life angry all the time, why not spend the rest of my life free of it.

    I like to try to be what I call a negative energy buffer, I take in the bad, absorb it, clean it, and only let out good. If others can’t let it go and have to spill it out fine, but I will not hang onto it for them, the anger leaves once it passes through me.

    We all have a finite amount of intellectual and emotional capital, just like we all have a finite amount of money in our bank accounts. It sounds like his conversations might be overdrawing your capital in this area. You seem to be in school, or at least studying, and probably busy in other areas. Kindly explain to your partner that sometimes his lengthy conversations can draw on your intellectual and emotional capital that you need to be putting towards other areas of your life. Also make sure to give him a way out, let he him know you value his ideas and would enjoy such conversions during a time when you have some extra energy.

    I feel this would fall into the category of self actualization: A good lifetime goal for anybody who would like to complete themselves to there own satisfaction while maintaining a constant flow of giving back to society, and the people they love and care about. How it looks in every day life would vary state to state, country to country, etc etc. If and when I get there I might have a better explanation.

    For me yoga replaced boring physical therapy to help with hip bursitis. The spiritual part of it has recently started to settle in and I am going to explore that area further.
