Post 105 emotional well-being Emotional competence: self-regulation

Hello again: in the previous posts I talked about what emotional competence is, because it is important to have it to have well-being. Of its five components and I spoke about the first,  self-knowledge. Today I will talk about emotional self-regulation, which is about, once you know what your emotions, feelings and thoughts are, being able to handle them appropriately according to the context and achieve your goals. For example, if you feel angry about something, the first is to know that you feel it and why you feel it. That is self-awareness. Then you have to see how you handle that anger, how you express it, to whom you direct that anger and what you intend to achieve. Because if you’ve gotten angry with your partner, your neighbour doesn’t have to pay for it. And it’s okay that if you’ve gotten angry with your partner, explain it to them. And why are you angry and what do you want to achieve? And express it appropriately. For example, if you are angry that your partner does not call you when he comes home late, your neighbour does not have to know. But your partner does. And tell him, at the right moment that it bothers you because it seems disrespectful to you, and it worries you. And that to put it properly. That is an example of self-regulation.
