Balancing Yourself
Calm your emotions by not ignoring them
When feeling stressed or angry, don't ignore the emotion -- face it head-on, using mindfulness to recognize it and let it pass. Recognizing the emotion can ease the pain, and it also allows you to move past it and begin searching for the origin of the problem, suggests career coach Danielle Dowling.
