I keep telling myself this too shall pass, it's only temporary.
I take whatever feeling I'm experiencing at that moment (nervousness, impatience, anger) and imagine it as a small sphere in my body, I just acknowledge that it's there and let it be there, without consuming me.
Then I focus on something else.

Works most of the time

When it doesn't, I forgive myself, I'm only human
