  1. Identifying Your Current Emotions: As self-aware leaders, it is crucial to be in tune with your emotions. Doing so can lead to better decision-making. Techniques for tuning in to your emotions include mindfulness, journaling, or talking with a trusted friend.

  2. Evaluating Emotional Triggers: Recognizing emotional triggers can help prevent impulsive reactions. Techniques for identifying patterns and events that cause specific emotions include self-reflection and monitoring emotional responses. When you identify a trigger, take steps to minimize its impact.

  3. Practicing Self-Compassion: Treat yourself with kindness and understanding. Self-compassion fosters resilience in the face of challenges. Cultivate self-compassion through positive self-talk and self-compassion exercises.
