Emotional budgeting is a reappraisal tool for making decisions and resolving emotional regulation issues by assessing relationships[1] also sometimes referred to as relationship audit.  By taking the time to understand and structure our relationship memories, we can help our brain organize itself automatically. This means that when making a decision, the unconscious brain supports the determination of best outcomes.

Organizing the basic emotional systems is beneficial for the following reasons:

Understanding the basic root cause of behaviors in each relationship, we can better understand our emotions, contributing to improving emotional regulation and mental health treatments.  By using emotional budgeting, a reappraisal strategy, [1] people become more aware of their emotions and how emotions impact their decisions making process.

Methods of Emotional budgeting[edit][edit]

Emotional Budgeting based on the idea of creating a line-item budget for one's emotions, similar to how one would create a personal or household budget for one's finances. However, there are some key differences between emotional budgeting and traditional financial budgeting.

In the most basic form of creating a personal budget the person set goals based on the information previously gathered, make a plan to achieve these Personal budgets are usually created to help an individual or a household of people to control their spending and achieve their financial goals.[4] [5]Having a budget can help people feel more in control of their finances and make it easier for them to not overspend and to save money[5].      

Additionally, having a line-item budget can help individuals or businesses make informed decisions about their finances.[4][5] For example, if there are unexpected expenses in one category, a line-item budget can help decide which other categories may need to be cut back to balance everything out[5]. A line-item budget is one in which the individual statement items are grouped by category. A line-item budget is a type of budgeting format that involves grouping individual actionable items by category. Budget theme is supported by research and description of core biological interaction that mediate brain adaptation associated with different feelings associated with relationships and events[6].

The similarities between both the financial and emotional budget identifies the facts of action and the consequence of that action.  There is also an accumulation of negative and/ or positive consequences in finance as well as in emotions. In finance the result of positive balance can be viewed in our bank account. With emotions, consequences are stored in our memories. The similarities between personal and emotional budgeting share categories in column addressing the facts of an action and consequence (outcome) providing guidance to problem solving. Personal budget provides information to resolve expenditure issues[5] and emotional budget provides an organized method to resolve emotional regulation issues. How these memories are stored and recalled increases the variability of consequence of these stored emotions.                             Differences between the financial budget and emotional budget are that the facts of an action with emotions are more fluid or flexible and depend more on perspective with more variables influencing the behavior in a relationship. That is good news for adaptation and influencing positive behavioral change.
