Chapter 12   Self-management is a two component process.  One component is the behavior you exhibit that needs to be managed.  The other component is the behavior you exhibit that manages that behavior.  When we do this well, the situation that would evoke the “needs to be managed behavior” (and the feelings that accompany it – like being upset, feeling attacked, etc.) instead evoke the self-managing behavior.
