Self-awareness

This is the ability to recognize a feeling as it happens. This is also being able to answer the following two questions objectively: What am I doing? Why am I doing it?

Managing mood

This is being able to control how we feel, how long, and how we demonstrate the feelings we have. When situations are emotionally difficult, it is important to reinterpret the situation in a realistic, more optimistic light. Some ways to do so is to engage in self-care such as meditation, prayer, relaxation techniques, exercise, and rest.
