                 •  Emotional Awareness: The ability to identify and name one’s own emotions.
                 •  Harnessing Emotions: The ability to harness and apply emotions to tasks like thinking and problem solving.
                 •  Managing Emotions: The ability to regulate one’s own emotions when necessary, and help others to do the same.

                 •  Understand your Emotions: Observe your behaviour and note the things you need to work on. You can then work
                   on the things you need to improve.
                 •  Rationalise: Do not take decisions abruptly; be rational in your thinking.

                 •  Practise: Do meditation and yoga to keep yourself calm.

                 actions. It helps you:
