Self-regulation does not mean to shun, ignore or hide your emotions, but rather it refers to the ability to wait for the right time and place to express your feelings appropriately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People who are able to self-regulate\/manage are not driven by impulsive behaviors and feelings. They are said to be less critical of situations and reactive to people\u2019s attitudes.

As you settle down for the evening, look back to how you handled things\/emotions during the day. For example<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you name most (if not all) of the emotions you felt during the day?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Were you able to self-regulate and not have outbursts when something didn\u2019t go your way?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If someone spoke to you about their struggles, did you take the time to actively listen to them, understand their emotions, and try helping?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Were you a team player?
