Describe the 2 components necessary to develop emotional control (Buckley & Saarni, 2009)?

1. First, we must learn to control how, when, and where to express our feelings. 2. Second, we must learn to reinterpret potentially negative events in a POSITIVE light, such as concluding that we simply need to study more effectively instead of being devastated by a low score test. Mastering these two components above marks a significant step in understanding and harnessing our emotions (Aikins & Litwack, 2011). With experience, and particularly through social interactions, both slowly develop over time.
