Emotional Intelligence: Self-Control

With self-awareness, people take into account of how they’re feeling, what is going on inside of them and what is the particular situation, but then they have to be able to control it.

Martin G. Lopez, Psychotherapist with Care & Counseling at Baptist Health South Florida, advises working on being able to control our actions whether it is by deep breathing, taking a pause, thinking things through in order to have self-control, which helps not doing things that people might regret later.
