Going to a trip with close people could really help. Instead of staying at home some activities could always get mind off. Games like football, cricket and others which require active participation and physical presence could really help in this aspect. Also, talking to a friend about your tough time changes the way you start looking at things.

Definitely meditation and exercise of some sort. I also will journal and sometime read. I will do anything that will help me relieve my feelings in a healthy way that will benefit me while not bringing down anyone else.

When your emotions seem like a little too much to handle, try finding a positive outlet to channel those emotions. Try painting, music, sports, writing, meditation, etc. Find a place to put those emotions, rather than bottling them up for it to happen again.

I listen to soothing music, talk to my husband or another supporter, spend time with my dog, take a walk, drink plenty of water, and watch a sit com or movie to re-group.

I do what's called "flow activities," which is basically any activity you can do and "lose yourself" in doing it; it's activities that challenge you (not overwhelmingly so) and time flies.

Something relaxing like reading or sitting outside helps when emotions get overwhelming sometimes. Anything that lowers your heart rate and not make it higher will help.

I find that when strong emotions take over , for me, reading helps a lot. For some time I feel like I am away from all the problems and when I close the book it's like I gain a new perspective about everything:)
