Solution

It is important to manage negative emotions because negative emotions act as an obstruction towards viewing things clearly and taking rational decisions. For instance, anxious individuals find it difficult to concentrate or to make decisions even for small matters. Negative emotions also affect the psychological and physical health of an individual and may result in decreased ability to think or concentrate, and loss of interest in personal or social activities. Thus, managing emotions effectively is integral to effective social functioning.

The ways to suggest negative emotions are:

    (i) Enhancing self-awareness and being creative.

    (ii) Appraising the situation objectively, without bias or preconceptions.

    (iii) Self monitoring by constant evaluation of accomplishments and various experiences.

    (iv) Engaging in self modelling by evaluating one’s best performance and using them as inspiration.

    (v) Perceptual reorganisation and cognitive restructuring.

    (vi) Developing and nurturing good relations and having empathy for others

    (vii) Participating in community service.
