Instruction manual
one
Understand that it is impossible to completely get rid of emotions. Emotions are an integral and, most important, natural part of human life. Artificially stop emotions, fight them, ignore, if it succeeds, then for a very short time, and besides, such violent practices are fraught with various side effects and "distortions" in the mind. So, you can’t get rid of emotions, but you can learn to control them, especially negative ones.

Go in for sports or any active outdoor activities. You can walk the dog, ride a bike, do morning and evening runs, play tennis, go to the pool. It is known that physical activity helps get rid of negative thoughts and emotions.
3
Engage in meditation. Get away from your emotions. Various types of yoga and meditative practices are based on the thesis that emotions are something superficial and impermanent, not related to a person’s real self. If you begin to cultivate this idea in yourself and think about it when unnecessary emotions overwhelm you, then you can learn to distance yourself from them. And thus maintain a sober mind and act on the basis of reason.
4
Switch from your problems to the problems of another person. If someone from your friends is experiencing a crisis or a difficult period - support it, take care. You will see that it helps you get distracted. Trying to understand other people's experiences will help you see that it is a purely emotional perception of life that blocks a person from a clear view of things. Emotions are always biased, which is why they should not be trusted one hundred percent.
5
If you are in a tense situation - do not let emotions “blow” you. Count to yourself up to 10 or take three deep breaths. You need to wait a bit, let the emotional wave settle down inside you. If you feel that this does not help either, leave the room in which an unpleasant situation unfolds for you. A change of scenery will give the sensory organs new impressions and you can calm the emotional storm within you.
note
Always analyze the situations that happen to you and in which emotions take precedence over the mind. Try to understand why this is happening, at what exact moment you cannot say to yourself - "stop, I'm going wrong."
Useful advice
If you cannot restrain yourself and you want to throw something at the wall, kill all the vases and plates in the house or beat a pillow … Stop. It is better to pick up a rag, a mop and wash the floor in the entire apartment, wipe off the dust, wash the blanket or jeans on your hands. This is where physical effort comes in handy. In other words, do some mechanical manual work to calm down.
