Continuing from the previous post about prayers from Maria Duval....
Then you make a conscious decision that you need to gain more control over some of your emotions. Just choose one emotion to begin with, let's say impatience for example. You decided you need to curb your impatience. When all day long, you are looking forward to the time when you can relax, do this patiently. As soon as the slightest thing happens to make your patience wear thin, say to yourself:
"I will remain patient and I will take advantage to observe the pattern of my impatience in detail, to help me to detach myself from it."
By the time evening comes, you will realise that instead of showing your impatience ten times during the day, you have only shown it three or four times.
With your conscious mind in charge in this way, you will gradually manage to check and master each of your emotions.
And you will finally reach the point where you are no longer impatient at all. After a few months' training, you will be calm, as subconsciously, you will have acquired the habit of being calm.
Once you have gotten a grip on this first emotion, you can teach yourself another new habit, like getting up early in the morning and so on...
