I agree with Mallow-My counselor taught me that route a long time ago. If you repeat repeat it somehow seems to work!
Doing what Kermit did sounds like a plan to me! I do that once in awhile myself when I start to feel overwhelmed-jump in the car and just drive (although with Gas prices it may be tuff) pop in your favorite CD and go somewhere you can at least sit with yourself and regroup!
