This feeling is bouncing around and I&#39;m just getting more worked up about the situation.<br \/>\nSo to calm myself, I first try to change my environment. Go to another room or outside. I concentrate hard on looking at things around me and really thinking about that thing.  For example I will look at my shoe, and notice the brand and color. I notice that it&#39;s looking pretty worn, but it&#39;s my most comfortable shoe.  (For this foot.) I know I should probably let it go,but I haven&#39;t been able to find one as comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>You see?   I am totally not thinking about what I was so emotional about and when I get back to that, I will be able to look at it a lot calmer and more rational than I was.<br \/>\nYou don&#39;t have to stop there, but everything you concentrate on, give it your full attention. Look for the smallest, least significant thing and describe it to yourself. Make it significant.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-3970032388\"><div id=\"thefa-1364684574\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Stop procrastinating.
