Self-regulation

This topic showed me the importance of emotions. We have a powerful propensity to pay close attention to faces & emotions. Emotions have the power to influence and limit our perceptions, thoughts and processes, and behaviours as well as health. I’ve come to realize the effect of society and culture on myself. I have integrated myself to a society like this school and my friends. If I weren’t able to integrate myself to this community, I would feel a sense of isolation. Emotion regulation is important for myself as an athlete because coaches always say it all the time that we can’t always play with heart but also use our mind. Regulating emotions means controlling the intensity and duration of it. If I play too intensely with my emotion, then I might have the tendency to make errors because my judgement is clouded. This topic has most importantly taught me to select the situation and manage my emotions.
