Self-Regulation [self-control]: Regulating what one feels and does; being disciplined; controlling one’s appetites and emotions. Personified for example by Jerry Rice (Source: VIA Institue)
The Noel Strengths Academy defines it this way:
• When one is self-regulated, one is practicing self-control
• Self-regulation involves both feelings and actions
• Intentional in aligning choices with practices
• Able to discipline one’s natural inclinations for what is proper for the time and place
