By taking a step back from the situation, and thinking about the different outcomes of each action you might take. If you're emotional, it's because you're insecure. First, love yourself and remember that you are part of a whole on the universe. When you see other people as part of you, as your brothers and sisters...the animals and the trees as your cousins, you will have respect for the whole as part of you. Give the respect to each encounter as if it were your child. you can be emotionless in the sense that you don't over react, but there is one emotion that you will need to do this, love. Be love, and the flow of the universe will flow with you. When you try too hard to be perfect, ie. emotionless, than your being self centered. You're trying to control with hate, and superiority. The best leaders, and the richest men in the world handle their encounters with respect and love. Think of the monk, who is humble and peaceful. he never battles, therefore battles don't befall on him. he is compassionate. last, be happy. Love yourself, forgive yourself, and be happy.

I am almost emotionless, but not by choice. I didn't try to be this way. Either you are like that or you aren't. And as I said, I'm not COMPLETELY emotionless. I just don't feel as often or as strongly as most people do.
By the way, it's not necessarily a good thing to be like that, despite what you think. I'm pretty sure that my being this way makes me slightly less than sane.
The only useful reason I can think of to try and be emotionless is if you're an actor attempting to play the role of an emotionless character. Any other reason is senseless, stupid, and a waste of your time.
If you think your emotions are holding you back, don't try to dispose of them, just focus on learning to CONTROL them. Self-control can help you in a number of situations and give you an advantage, especially in emergency situations where panic is a killer. But remember that part of the reason you have emotions is to serve as an early warning that something is wrong. Disregarding your 'intuition' can get you killed, too.
Oh, and people who are considerably less emotional than the mainstream, such as myself, often end up isolated and everybody else thinks they're wierd, by the way. I can't change the way I am, and I'm accepting of the fact that I have little in the way of a social life, and actually ambivalent about it, but you may not necessarily want that.

The way i do this, is to whats called "shift positions". Basically if you want to be more logical and uninterupted by emotions, just imagine floating into a different location, and feel as if you are becoming someone else who is completely a stranger to the situation. Imagine theres someone else next to you who you just met whos a really logical person, and imagine becoming that person, and be curious about what you are hearing and seeing. find it interesting "wow how could this be?" "Wow thats so interesting" dis-associate from the situation so that you can get a new perspective on something.

You need tons of willpower. Nobody has had that much willpower up to now, though many came very close.
There will always be some situation where you will involuntarily surrender to instinct. Many times going with the heart has helped, though at first the brain may say, "No".
The human brain is the best there is, but it is not perfect. Come to terms with that.

Actually, I have a solution to your dilemma. The quote is "You are what you think", not "You are what you feel". Emotions get in the way of rational thinking. Thinking about what brought on your emotions will help clear your mind and you will be able to rationally come to what is important: your thoughts. Am I saying emotions are unimportant? In a way. They are less important than thoughts because they lead to depression. I will recommend a book to you that is very helpful for people wishing to escape these depressive moments. It helped me quite a bit. I cry at the drop of a hat. But, I now know what causes that sadness and I accept it.

I have to make allot of decision based on what I know to be the right thing to do (brain) not what I want or feel to be right. I have had to learn how to do this, it does not come naturally to me. better decision making causes allot less emotional pain. that is not to say I am emotionless today, I have simply learned how to make better decisions that result in less emotional pain. SEE ALSO CODEPENDENT EMOTIONAL BEHAVIOR if you are like me it may help you understand you are not responsible for others! that was a big part of it for me!

Why in the world would you want to use your brain alone? Using your heart will keep you out of some bad situations even when the answer is technically "wrong".
