Self Management

The ability to regulate one’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors effectively in different situations. This includes managing stress, controlling impulses, motivating oneself, and setting and working toward achieving personal and academic goals.

– CASEL

Self Management Involves:

  • Discipline
  • Focus
  • Responsibility
  • Impulse Control
  • Organizational Skills
  • Self-Motivation

  • Managing emotions: Monitoring and regulating feelings so they aid rather than impede the handling of situations.
  • Goal-setting: Establishing and working toward the achievement of short- and long-term prosocial goals.

Industry, thrift and self-control are not sought because they create wealth, but because they create character.

– Calvin Coolidge
