🔹What is your understanding of emotions?

Emotions are those feeling we have attached to us especially when we are doing something. When you have that feeling or fear of not wanting to fail or loss then we can say emotions is working through you.

A good example of emotions can be seen in relationship, trading and many more. In every trade, you will always want to win and that will drag fear into you and that will make you to make some rash decision.

Similarly when you are in a relationship, you will also wan to make some decisions based on the feelings you have for your pattern. This most times are always not to our favour but because we are controlled by that feelings we do it.

🔹Have you ever had emotions that made you lose yourself? tell us about it.

Yes, in my first relationship, I had an emotional truma that made me lose myself. Since it was my first relationship, I took it so dearly. On that faithful day, my girlfriend worked up to me and told me that after much taught, she has noticed that we are not compatible.

This was the only lady I have loved my entire life. I was so trumatized because my love for her was real. Breaking my heart this way made me lose myself because I wasn't able to attend lectures for some days and even when I try going for classes, I don't concentrate at all.

So that incident made me to lose myself completely. That was what happened to me at that time.

🔹Explain 5 ways to deal with emotions.

Emotions can be dealt with in many ways but for the sake of this contest today, I will be discussing a few ways which I believe this emotions can be dealt with.

Firstly, to deal with emotion you need to be sure you are ready to do it and you should also be ready for any outcome.

Secondly, always have some percentage space for failure or loses in your life. This means you should not expected to be at the winning side all the time.

Thirdly, don't attach too much on one thing because when you lose that you can not be able to bear it.

Fourthly, always have you goal or plan defined so that if you have achieved it, you can go ahead and opt out of whatever you are initially doing.

Lastly, to deal with emotions, you shouldn't gather all your eggs in one basket i.e don't put all your effort in one place because if you lose it you may not survive it.

🔹Do you think emotions could hinder someone from achieving their dreams?

Yes, emotions can hinder someone greatly from not achieving their goals and how can that be possible? When you have emotions you won't allow yourself take some risk and that risk may be the bridge to your success.

As a crypto trader, emotions has made a lot lose their money in the market. A good example is for instance you analyzed a market and the market start going against you though it hasn't reach the stop loss but because you saw that you are losing, you will opt out of the trade.

Now, there are tendencies that if you had hold on to the trade, the market may likely go in your favour thereafter but because your emotions took better part of yourself, you were unable to wait.
