I am acknowledging the existence of feelings. I would appreciate methods for dispelling them and/or integrating them in such a way that I can be okay with them rather than fearing them and the situation that may generate them.

I remembered to get up from my desk and take a walk in the park nearby to work. (Hatched a Rhyhorn, too, but that's less relevant.)

Emotions are difficult. Sometimes "I am feeling this and it is important" can be helpful. Sometimes "I am feeling this, but it is at odds with what I would like to have happen" can help. Really depends on the specific situation in a lot of cases.

Attempting to be Vulcan was not ultimately helpful to me in the long term. I believe that my good friend Purple tried a similar trick. It similarly failed to do good things in his life, though I am sure it must have been temporarily useful.

A pressure valve would be of most user in these situations. I think I have one and am acquiring more, but it is still difficult.

Best of luck, and as always, let me know what I can do to help.

Managing feelings is difficult, and worthwhile, work. Good luck to you.

And congratulations on the Rhyhorn. :)
