To name it at least. Like - OK, I feel envy right now. And then to explore it, what it is about, what is behind it. I feel envy to my friend, for example, for her dress as she is ok to wear a bright color and look so sexy, and I wasn't that confident today so wear just casual and feel myself an agly fly. I don't like to feel like this and I wish I feel more confidence.
Listen to fun and happy music like Eye Of The Tiger.

Music can act as a method to cope with negative emotions, either listening to, or creating.

When my emotions strive to stress me out I find if I can get alone and play a guilded meditation with my headphones in a relaxed atmosphere I can begin to feel myself calming down from within and then it reaches my outward person changing my focus.

Mindfulness exercises can assist one to relax, and to focus on the present moment. Keep it up!
Sleeping solves a lot of issues, so try that!

Stop what ever you're doing,find a quite place and begin deep breathing exercises. Take 10 minutes close my eyes and listen to my breathing in and out, in and out
@scarletPear1945
Deep breathing exercises sound like a positive coping mechanism for practicing being in the moment, and relieving tension and stress. Keep it up!
The best way to cope with negative emotions is to express it through art. Whether it be visual, musical, performance, culinary, or whatever art form of choice, it's good to let it all out and to let it be in a second place besides your own head.
It's kind of like building homes for them. That way, they won't have to bother you. They can stay in their own house. Sure, they'll come over and bother you once in a while, or piss on your lawn even though they got their own now. But at least those emotions and thoughts are not with you everyday 24/7 simply because they, quite literally, have nowhere else to go but a small crowded space with you in it.

Coping with negative emotions through engaging in creative activities, after experiencing traumatic events, sounds like a viable coping option. Thanks for sharing.
The best way to cope with Negative Emotions especially anxiety is through knowledge. Fear of the unknown is inevitable but to have a better understanding of your fears makes you think of them slightly more rationally. Plus the conscious is a hellish place, to read is to gain a new perspective or a new consciousness to house in for a few moments.
stay in your room and lie on your bed for half an hour. It's pretty comforting, and besides, you need time alone to recover.

Resting for short periods, can be helpful when necessary, after having experienced traumatic events
Keeping a track of your thoughts (Mindfulness) and which negative thoughts are triggering those emotions. Emotions do not come first, it is the thoughts that brings feelings along. Understanding this process helps.
@Theactivetherapist
I think that paying close attention to the thoughts and emotions which one is experiencing, can prove to be helpful. I have heard that, that it is one's thoughts which effectively produce one's emotions as a result. Thanks for your insight!

stop and examine what I am feeling and see what triggered that feeling then get away from the thing stressing me for a while and come back later and talk it out.
