  • B.Waiting until emotions escalate to the point of losing control
  • C.Reacting impulsively to emotional triggers
  • D.Suppressing emotions in order to conform to social norms

Answer: A

The effective strategy is channelling emotions to use them as a source of inspiration and creative endeavours.

Emotional regulation means managing the intensity and expression of feelings so that they serve one's goals. Redirecting a strong emotion into productive activity, such as writing, art, sport or problem-solving, acknowledges the feeling and puts its energy to use.

Waiting until emotions escalate to losing control and reacting impulsively to triggers are failures of regulation. Suppressing emotions to conform is not effective either: bottled-up feelings tend to resurface and harm well-being, so healthy regulation recognises emotions rather than denying them.
