By Sneha A

Our emotions play a very vital role in the shaping up of our personality. They make our lives an exciting journey with all the ups and downs of happiness, grief, excitement, exhilaration, and so on. It is the experience of all such emotions that is a part of being human.

But the question that arises here is who governs who? Whether it is you who is run by your emotions or your emotions that are run by you.

Being in a clear and sound state of mind is very essential for the correct assessment of the situations around us, and for taking the right decisions in our life. Our control over our emotions helps us in steering our life towards the way we want it to go on. Whether we are on the right track or not, it is all governed by the state of our emotions.

In everybody’s life, there comes a point of time when everything seems to be falling apart and out of hands, we are always on the edge ready to explode any minute. Even the smallest of the things can trigger the worst of our reactions.

These are some of the ways which show that we need emotional healing, but, before this, we need to accept all this by ourselves that we need help. Following are the 6 signs, which denote that you need emotional healing:
