How do you personally process bad emotions?

I’m writing about this topic here: https://www.satishmummareddy.com/blog/definitive-guide-to-im...

The path that works for me is journaling. I start with naming my emotions and then what actions trigger those emotions and then what is the best/worst case, what can I do right now (options), pick best action item.

This process takes me from understanding my emotions to clear next action.

Unless I have a clear next action my mind can’t let go.
