Managing emotions is tough sometimes. The best thing you can do is take a deep breath, let it out slowly and think before you act.

Sometimes to help me manage emotions, I talk it out with a friend or family member. Sometimes it's easier to get another person's view so you can find the ability to manage all of them.

I suggest you think about each one of them and think about which is the most significant and fix it.

One of the best things you can do is to write down those emotions as you feel them so that you get them off your mind.

The idea is not how to manage them but how to go through them. There is a place and time for everything and has humans we definitely have emotions. So whenever you feel that u have to deal with these emotions. Give yourself some space and time to go through it.

One thing that resonates me when it comes to emotions is what I learned in meditation. We are not our emotions, your emotions are emotions. Acknowledge them and let them go. Try meditation for 5 minutes a day, as your mind becomes clear increasing your time will come naturally. As you acknowledge your emotions in meditation remember to return to your breath. This helps you stay mindful of the present. Emotions are demanding but as long as you acknowledge it, your inner self will not feel neglected. Emotions are just as important as daily excersise, it takes work but in the end it's worth it.

You're absolutely right, there are so many emotions that we experience! I advocate for experiencing our emotions as they come to us in waves. It can be uncomfortable; however, it could be more soothing to view emotions as messages. Feelings are the physical sensations we experience within our body, which often prompts us to cluster the feelings and name them as an emotion that we are experiencing. I recommend leaning into our emotions and being receptive to what they are meant to offer us; for instance, if my current emotion is anger, this might be a message for me to separate myself from a person or situation, to take time to reflect on myself and my physical sensations, to practice resiliency tools to help me calm down, etc. Emotions can absolutely be overwhelming. They aren't good or bad, they just are.
