节制 (jié zhì) — to control, to restrain (emotions, behavior); to restrict, to limit (consumption, spending, diet)

Définition

节制 focuses on self-restraint — holding back one's own desires, emotions, or consumption. Unlike 限制 or 约束 (which restrict others by rules or force), 节制 is what you do to yourself.
