How do I stop my emotions from becoming too overwhelming?

Focus on the moment and live in it. The past cannot be changed, only learned from and the future failures may be experiences that direct you to another, more suitable path. Yes, this is one of the hardest things to learn how to do, but if you can live in the moment, it does help. It makes emotions easier to process when you focus on the current time and not worry so much about the past or future.

To stop my emotions from becoming too overwhelming I have to stop and take a breather and just relax. Think about how I'm feeling and what made me feel this way. Think of possible solutions to overcome my feelings.

sometimes, i do yoga to keep myself calm or even do my breathing exercises to bring down my anxiety levels! I also make sure to map out the things that stress me out the most, and reward myself for completing them whenever i do!

It is important to take time to relax and find a way of expressing these emotions. https://www.7cups.com/help-managing-emotions is a guide on managing emotions that might help.

A long time I tried to push negative feelings away. But there are no negative emotions there a just unpleasant one. I learned to embrace all emotions to welcome them and to accept them.

By listening to them. When our emotions become too overwhelming we try to ignore them, thinking if we ignore them, they will go away, but they don't. Listen to what your internal voice is trying to tell you.

Breathe through it. Remember you have felt this way before. You have survived these feelings before and you will survive them again, because they will pass. I find it helpful to recognize and acknowledge the feeling, to let it be with you for a moment, and then simply to let it move on. At a certain point, if the emotions continue to overwhelm you and don't seem to be moving through their course, you may find it useful to reach out to a friend or family member or to write in a journal in order to direct those feelings out of your head and into the world.

Listen to music - music can directly impact your mood, so listen to uplifting or upbeat music, and avoid depressing/heavy music such as emo, screamo and metal. Writing in a journal helps to express and sort emotions. Hobby - Do a hobby you enjoy or think you'll enjoy. Immerse yourself in it. It doesn't have to be expensive or difficult. As long as it's interesting it will serve the purpose.

I try to accept those emotions first, so I can cope with them in a healthier way. Breathing also helps to keep me grounded. I try to see the bigger picture, and more often than not I find myself dwelling in the past or afraid of what's yet to come...Switching my focus to the present really helps me overcome those emotions. Sometimes I try to express those emotions by writing them down. It's beneficial in the process of releasing them, and it also helps me notice if there's certain patterns or cycles that I need to break.

Get back to the basics. Look at the situation and consider whether you are making it larger than it really is. Take a few moments to just close your eyes and breathe. Think of happy or comforting thoughts. Practice maybe trying to see yourself from a different perspective?
