Content: Managing Emotions – Self Regulation
Anger is a powerful emotion that builds on itself; escalating anger is caused by a series of aggravations, resulting in emotion’s ability to overcome reason. Ways in which people manage their anger include reflection on the situation, distraction through a long walk or exercise, and relaxation. However, if individuals are not aware of their anger, it will be difficult for them to cool off. Worry is another emotion that can spiral out of control without careful management. Chronic worry can lead to an intensifying cycle, possibly leading to phobias, obsessions and compulsions, or panic attacks. Worry can also worsen feelings of melancholy and depression. Like anger, worry can be controlled through self-awareness of its onset, and further control may be achieved through relaxation techniques. Individuals who are able to manage their emotions can more easily rebound from setbacks, disappointments, and frustrations, while those who are poor managers of their feelings find themselves always fighting feelings of distress and anger. 3.
