Most people know how to manage, express, and cope with emotions in a healthy way.  In fact, knowing how to regulate emotions is important for everyone. But what is emotion regulation, and how can you improve your emotion regulation skills?

 Many researchers view emotion regulation as the ability to enhance or reduce your emotions as needed. Others define it as a set of skills that help keep your emotional system healthy and functioning. We can learn to adjust what emotion we have, how intense it is, when we have it, and how we react to it. The defining aspect of emotion regulation is that it occurs when a goal is activated.

Goals are highly individual. They're what we picture in our heads. Your goals can be activated by your environment. You may regulate your emotions to influence a change in someone else.  For instance, when your boss treats you poorly at work, you act as if it doesn't bother you because you're hoping for a job promotion.

Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment. Mindful people learn to be aware of the breaths they take, the tension in their muscles, and even their pulse rates. They can objectively observe themselves in difficult moments, confident that even these times will pass.

In and of themselves, emotions are not good or bad, though they may be scary, especially when they're intense.  But the more you do it, the more natural it becomes. Mindfulness skills can help with this too.

A. Learning how to accept your emotions takes practice.

B. Being mindful can help you to deal with your emotions.

C. There is no one agreed-upon definition of emotion regulation.

D. Emotion regulation goals vary strongly from situation to situation.

E. For some people, though, emotion regulation is much more difficult.

F. Emotion regulation refers to the ability to control one's own emotions.

G. Sometimes you may regulate your emotions to achieve another end goal.

The Value of Tears

    Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. Tears leave you embarrassed and without energy. Still, crying is a fact of life, and your tears are very useful. Even when you're not crying, they make a film over the eye's surface. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions(情绪), afraid that once they lose control they'll never get it back.” {#blank#}2{#/blank#} After we cry, the feelings that caused the tears often disappear.

    Sometimes people become much stressed and can't cry. Whatever emotion they are feeling – shock, anger, fear, or sadness—is being held back.

    But everyone has the need to cry. Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often consist of giving people permission to cry. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions. She suggests safe, private places to cry, like under the bedcovers or in the car. Crying is a way of ease tension, but people don't like it when others cry because it makes them tense. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}And they'll do just about anything to make you stop.

    In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It's good not to cry during a tense business discussion.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} You should also act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. “And,” she adds, “Once your tears have taken away the stress, you can begin to think calmly of ways to deal with the problem.”

    Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. If you find yourself near someone crying, deal with it. And never be afraid to cry yourself.

A. They too may be holding back a need to cry.

B. They cry for different reasons.

C. She gives crying exercises.

D. It contains a chemical against infection.

E. The fact is no emotion lasts forever.

F. It forms in response to the stress on the surface of the eye.
