realize you are upset, angry, what ever. identify that feeling you are having. breath with the acknowledgement of that feeling. using a "mantra" such as "i feel my anger, frustration or whatever" on the in breath and "i acknowledge my anger(or whatever)" on the out breath. then after a few breaths say " i acknowledge my anger" on the in breath and "i will care for my anger" on the out breath. what this does is it lets you feel, know, acknowledge and then release. by the time you do this for several minutes you will feel more grounded.
Thank you for the advice. I will have to remember to do this. I guess that is what I did do was just stuff the feelings away. I have alot to learn.

Thank you
Diana
