I'm completely with eblight on this one. Let the emotions flow, but at the same time don't get attached to them. Don't equate yourself with a temporary impulse. This is especially useful to me when I'm feeling anxious and can't sleep. Instead of suppressing my feelings, I just let them be and even let them intesify. The effect is a sort of catharsis -- the emotions will eventually subside or be reduced to an insignificant physiological reaction (if that makes any sense).
