I originally wrote this article as a blog post a couple of years ago, expanded on it as a chapter in my book, Live A Life You Love, and then recently posted an updated version (this version) to my PsychologyToday.com blog, Prescriptions for Life.  That post was listed as one of the top 5 most-read on the site, which told me how much this topic resonates with people - I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful, too!

How good are you at controlling your emotions?  Are there moments when you look back at something you’ve just said or done, and wish you could just take it back? 

If you don't know how to control your emotions, they end up controlling you - which can have disastrous results for your health, relationships, and life success.

Wouldn’t it be great to take the emotion back, or transform it, before you’ve done something that you regret?
