意思
To regain self-control.
文化背景
The phrase is often associated with the 'strong-willed' Russian character. In Soviet cinema, heroes often say this to themselves before a sacrifice. In many Russian-speaking countries, showing too much emotion in public is sometimes seen as a lack of discipline, making this idiom very common in parenting. In Russian business, 'взять себя в руки' is a common way to end a period of procrastination or 'raskachka' (slow start).
