When big emotions come up there are a number of techniques that can help us to manage them. For example, find a quiet space to calm down, take deep breaths, distract yourself with exercise, music, or reading, or talk to someone you trust. Use grounding techniques, which involve paying close attention to your senses and the details of what you can see, hear, smell, taste, and feel around you. For example, listening out for lyrics or different instruments in music, focusing on brush or pencil strokes when painting and colouring, or eating mindfully to notice textures and tastes.
