Instruction
1
Understand that to get rid of emotions is impossible. Emotions are an integral and, most importantly, a natural part of human life. To artificially stop the emotions, to fight with them, ignore if possible, very long, and besides, such a violent practice is fraught with various side effects and "distortions" in the mind. So, to get rid of emotions is impossible, but they can learn to control, especially negative ones.
2
Go in for sports or any active moving activity. Can walk the dog, ride a bike, to have a morning and evening jog, play tennis, go swimming. It is known that physical exercises help to get rid of negative thoughts and emotions.
3
Meditate. Abstracted from their emotions. Different types of yoga and meditation practices are based on the thesis that emotion is something superficial and intermittent, not related to this person. If you start to cultivate this idea yourself and to think about it, when your unwanted emotions overwhelm you, then you can learn to distance myself from them. And thus keep a cool thinking and act on intelligence.
4
Switch from his problems to the problems of another person. If someone you know is experiencing a crisis or difficult period will support it, take care. You will see that it will help you to escape. Attempt to understand other people's experiences will help you to see what a purely emotional perception of life closes man from the clear view of things. Emotions are always biased, only because we can't trust one hundred percent.
5
If you are in a tense situation - do not let emotions "blow up" you. Count to 10 or take three deep breaths. Need to wait a bit, to give emotional wave to lie down inside of you. If you feel that it does not help - get out of the room in which unpleasant for your situation unfolds. A change of scenery will give your senses a new experience and you will be able to calm the emotional storm within yourself.
Note
Always analyze situations that happen to you and which emotions take precedence over reason. Try to understand why this is happening, at what point you can't say to yourself - "wait, I'm not going there."
Useful advice
If you can't restrain yourself and you want something to throw at the wall to smash all the vases and plates in the house or beat up a pillow... Stop. Better grab a rag, MOP and wash throughout the apartment floor, wipe the dust, wash the blanket or jeans on hand. That's where physical effort. In other words, do some manual work to calm down.
