What's the best way to stop tears and overflowing emotions while you are at work?

Deep breathes and focus on the "now," being in the now , making a list of what you are grateful for a good steamy cup of chamomile tea helps the day pass quickly and keep you relaxed until you can unload at home and get the healing help you need to expedite a good cry and try to feel better!

I had a mantra I would quote whenever I started feeling my emotions spill over. "Count to five, you're going to be fine, tomorrow will be kinder." However, I honestly find counting really helps. It forces you to concentrate on something else for a moment, and gives you time to pull yourself together. Shifting your focus from what you're feeling to what's going on around you also helps. Stay in the moment, if you know what I mean. Also, if you're at a workplace where you can take a break, go to the bathroom for a moment and just count. Give yourself ten seconds to be sad, and when you finish the count, you're going to be fine. Distract yourself with other things so you get so caught up in what you're doing, you can't think about anything else. Find small things at work to enjoy. Hope this helps!

Take a deep breath and count to 10, clear your mind and only focus on the numbers. Blink a couple times so the tears go away and keep your head up

when i get emotional in public i find it easier to isolate myself. for example ill go to the bathroom and wash my face with cold water to calm my nerves or i pull out my phone and watch something funny to get my mind off things.

breathe and look up at the ceiling! try to get your mind of what is bothering you by finding distractions as well

I always excuse myself and take a moment just for me, to either go outside to my car or go to the restroom. That moment of privacy always make me feel better and lets me clear my thoughts.

Take a moment to use the restroom or find a private place, like stepping out to your car. Ask yourself what it is that is causing or you think is causing this flood of emotion. Give yourself a moment to think and bring it to light. Ask yourself, is this something I can attend to now or can be fixed right now? If not, take a few breaths, tell yourself "I am only human". Promise yourself that the issue will be given full attention when the time is right and can be given full focus. Look at yourself in the mirror and thank yourself for caring and being so full of life and emotion. Deep breath, wipe the tears, splash a little water on your face and try again!

I would recommend trying to focus on the task at hand. If you can absorb yourself in your work, you may find it easier to keep unpleasant feelings at bay; out of sight, out of mind. (:

I find that breathing deeply and looking up keeps the tears at bay. But really if you feel like crying, instead of supressing it let it out, albeit in private.

Stop. Take a deep breath and focus on your breathing. Make a mental list of all the things that make you feel happy. Think of good times, people you love anything that will put you in a happy place. And, if all else fails, don't be afraid to excuse yourself so you can take a quick breather. Wish you the best and remember, with every hardship comes ease.
