I've found it's okay to FEEL the emotions, but it's not always okay to ACT on them (at least in the way I used to). Never deny yourself an emotion - the effects are long lasting and never good.
What works well for me is MINDFULNESS. I stop, examine the feeling, validate my emotions, ask myself, "how do I want to react here? Do I need to blow up or can a simple 5 minutes in solitude to do some deep breathing and prayer help?"
That's what works for me...
It's easy to feed into negative energy... anger is just as addictive as the drug itself. It's all part of our disease. Through mindfulness, we can make some serious progress! :)
