Self-Regulation – “I can manage my emotions & behaviour” Self-control is about inhibiting strong impulses; self-regulation [is about] reducing the frequency and intensity of strong impulses by managing stress-load and recovery. In fact, self-regulation is what makes self-control possible, or , in many cases, unnecessary. (Psychologist Stuart Shankar , 2016) 11
