emotions such as evading a frightening situation or
leaving unfinished tasks because of boredom
Behavioral

more motivated in doing your tasks
Positive emotions

efficiency and even your motivation to
perform certain tasks.
Negative emotions
try to leave your matters and issues at home. When traveling going to school, use that time telling your mind to let go.
Compartmentalization
this will help with emotions like anxiety, frustration, or anger. Take deep breaths until you calm down.
Deep breathing and relaxation techniques
this is especially helpful if you are feeling angry, frustrated, or even irate. If you feel your temper is rising, try and count to 10 to recompose yourself. If possible, excuse yourself from the situation to get some distance but do reassure the other party that you will come back to deal with the matter.
The 10-second rule
it is good to clarify before reacting if it could be a simple misunderstanding or miscommunication.
Clarify
Instead of losing your cool, plan on hitting the dance floor, treadmill, or going to a kickboxing class to let the anger out of your system. Exercise will help to release any physical tension in your body.
Blast your anger through exercise
never let your anger or unhappiness cloud your judgment. Hold off all communication while you are still angry.
Never reply or make a decision when your angry
it helps when you can recognize what upsets or angers you. This way, you can prepare yourself to remain calm and plan your reaction should the situation occur.
Know your trigger signs
treat your colleagues the same way you would like to be treated yourself. If the person is rude, there’s no need to reciprocate. We can stay gracious and just be firm and assertive without being aggressive. Often, rude people will mellow down if they don’t get a reaction from you and realize that they are the only ones shouting in the room.
Be respectful
if you do have an emotional outburst, apologize immediately to the person and perhaps to those around you who have heard it. You need not explain yourself or be defensive. Just a simple “I am sorry. I reacted badly” would make a big difference.
Apologize if you have emotional outbursts
