In last few years, one of the most dangerous challenges we have encountered is COVID-19, a worldwide health emergency. This pandemic is a serious worldwide health emergency that continues to endanger the welfare (health & safety) of the general people. The ability to regulate and manage unhealthy behaviour can be helpful in sustaining one’s health in this life-threatening era. People should grasp that their own actions and cognitions are partially accountable for their health. The importance of behavioural self-regulation, or the capacity to change or modify one’s thoughts, feelings, wants, and actions in the context of such higher aims, should therefore be stressed by people; can play a protective role to improve health and well-being and prevent or lessen the symptoms of the disease. It might be a medication that reduces the negative effects of COVID-19’s perceived harshness and psychological health issues, particularly during this pandemic period. The present analytical review-based study was planned to highlight the significance of self-regulation ability in health and well-being and to understand how self-regulation strategies works during the pandemic time, especially during COVID-19. This analytical review of the association of behavioural self-regulation, health and well-being in challenging and stressful situations such as COVID-19 pandemic suggested to effective implementation of self-regulation strategies.
