or feeling frustrated in rush hour traffic, you know that the highs

Emotions are the most present, pressing and sometimes painful force in our lives. We are driven day by day by our emotions. As with many other aspects of life, emotions are best met with a sense of moderation and logical perspective. So, we avoid operating on the wrong types of feelings for example, don't react right away take a deep breath and stabilize the overwhelming impulse.

Change your response. If all else fails, and you can’t avoid, modify, shift your focus, or change your thoughts, and that emotion comes pouring out, the final step in emotion regulation is to get control of your response. Your heart may be beating out a steady drumroll of unpleasant sensations when you’re made to be anxious or angry. Take deep breaths and perhaps close your eyes in order to calm yourself down. Similarly, if you can’t stop laughing when everyone else seems serious or sad, gather your inner resources and force yourself at least to change your facial expression if not your mood.
