Instructions
Step 1
Understand that it is impossible to completely get rid of emotions. Emotions are an integral and, most importantly, a natural part of human life. Artificially stopping emotions, fighting them, ignoring, if it works out, it will be extremely short-lived, and besides, such violent practices are fraught with various side effects and "distortions" in the mind. So, you cannot get rid of emotions, but you can learn to control them, especially negative ones.
Step 2
Play sports or any active outdoor activity. You can walk your dog, ride a bike, do morning and evening jogging, play tennis, go to the pool. Exercise is known to help get rid of negative thoughts and emotions.
Step 3
Practice meditation. Abstract yourself from your emotions. Various types of yoga and meditative practices are based on the thesis that emotions are something superficial and impermanent, not related to the real "I" of a person. If you start to cultivate this idea in yourself and remember it when emotions you do not need overwhelm you, then you can learn to distance yourself from them. And thus, maintain a sober thinking and act out of reason.
Step 4
Switch from your problems to those of the other person. If someone you know is going through a crisis or a difficult period, support him, show concern. You will find that this will help you distract yourself. Trying to understand other people's experiences will help you see that it is a purely emotional perception of life that blocks a person from a clear view of things. Emotions are always biased, which is the only reason why they should not be trusted one hundred percent.
Step 5
If you find yourself in a tense situation - do not let your emotions "blow up" you. Count to 10 silently, or take three deep breaths in and out. You need to wait a little, let the emotional wave settle inside you. If you feel that this does not help either, leave the room in which an unpleasant situation unfolds for you. A change of scenery will give the senses new impressions and you can calm the emotional storm within yourself.
