So how can you be more intelligent about your emotions? Try some of these steps:

1. 1. Recognize: Know how you are feeling.
   2. Understand: Why are you feeling this way? What is making you feel like this?
   3. Name: What is the name of this feeling?
   4. Talk about it: Express what you are feeling to your friends and family?
   5. Ask: What can I do about it? How should I react?
