Self-Regulation or Emotional Self-Management is being able to cultivate pleasant emotions such

as felling calm, appreciation and enthusiasm or being able to reduce the occ
asions on which unpleasant emotions occur, so that individuals may experience emotions such as

An important step in developing highly skilled Emotional Self-Management (Self-Regulation) is
to be able to find out present patterns of emotional self-management, where an individual are lying.
Before going through these steps everyone has to observe oneself for a week and find the answers
following questions.

to avoid these situations. Self-Regulation or Emotional Self-Management is an essential skill of
Emotional Intelligence in workplace. Whatever the roles or position Self-Regulation is essential
for teamwork, co-operation for completing the assigned task.
Self- Regulation is essentially a matter of altering one’s responses, including thoughts, emotions
and actions, basically it’s physiological process. self-regulation techniques assist students in
performing tasks more effectively and independently.
Self-Regulation also help to increasing positive attitudes and academic performance. Its learning
strategies help to prepare learners for lifelong learning and the important capacity to transfer skills,
Communication, knowledge, and abilities from one to another.
Example:
1. Goal Setting: its common practice among successful learners, Self-Regulation help me how to
set a Goal. it is important to consider the properties of effective goals. Goals should be well defined
and set clear standards. This provides the student with a thorough understanding of what is

Self-regulation to helping day to day. Self-monitoring major part of Behavioral change, it is also
important to keep in mind that the particular behavior itself may not be valuable or rewarding, but
the effect that the behavior produces or the individuals' perception of the behavior may be valuable.
Self-regulation is the ability to keep disruptive emotions and impulses in check, and to think before
acting. It's one of the five elements of emotional intelligence (knowing your emotions; managing
your emotions/self-regulation; motivating yourself; recognizing and understanding other people's
emotions, and managing relationships). When we know how to manage our emotions and
impulses, we function at our best. It means we act in accordance with our "social conscience,"
rather than just doing what we want to do. For instance, we might help a team member with a piece
of work even when we're pushed for time ourselves. Self-regulation also prevents us from behaving
in a way that could cost us, our team or our organization in the long run even when there are short-
term benefits. It allows us to delay gratification and suppress our impulses long enough to think
ahead to the possible consequences of our actions.
From the intriguing lectures, articles and videos that are provided on the class, I got to understand
that, self-regulation is the most integral part in an effort to build emo
tional intelligence. The idea of having a strong leadership is depends on how a person is capable
enough to manage and develop his own emotions.
Being responsible and taking care of others are equally important, but it is also important to
manage sometimes for ourselves in order to improve our self-regulations. Being a successful
businessman and being strongly self-regulated are completely different terms. Improving our
wellbeing with self-management is significant or else, it will be detrimental for our mental and
physical health, work ethics following to motivation will decrease. In order to improve our self-
regulation, we need to go through some practices that include; understanding what makes us happy
or sad, and then perceives about others emotions to connect with others easily, having an ability
to detect own faults and working on that by doing self-talk or mentors advices, being altruistic in
nature as if we feel about others we would get the same in return, having an ability to tolerate stress
and reduce the stress by reading book, listening to the music, deep breath exercises etc., controlling
our own impulses and use this in a rational and positive way, maintaining work-life balances etc.
We learn and grow, as learning has no limit so does the self-management is. We can learn and
experience new thing with the time being in order to improve our emotional quotient. A concrete
EQ can help an individual to constantly achieve success no matter from where the platform he
represents.
