Strengthening Emotion Regulation / Why should we regulate emotions? / Functions of emotions / No matter the emotions are positive or negative, they serve two main functions: / To communicate: To enable others to understand yourself or influence others' behaviours / For example, expressing happiness makes others want to be around you, while expressing sadness can help others realise that you have lost something important / To remind: Emotions can also remind and motivate us to respond to our own needs / For instance, fear compels individuals to engage in self-protection, while guilt prompts self-reflection / The purposes of emotion regulation / In response to different situations, modulating the intensity and duration of emotional responses can maintain self-control and foster positive interactions with others / Taking adaptive actions to accomplish internal or external goals, such as making yourself happy or maintaining calm to solve problems / Regulating emotions has a lot of benefits / Avoiding regretful behaviours driven by being 'emotionally impulsive' / Reduce emotional distress / Help you think calmly, make sound judgments and choose appropriate strategies to handle problems
