I am trying to learn to accept unpleasant feelings, i.e., not trying to fight back. As my psychologist is trying to teach me, unpleasant feelings are like a relative you dislike that comes to your house for a festive dinner. You invite them in, sit them down and then go do something else. That is to say, you acknowledge the unpleasant feeling and accept it, leave it be and do something else. I personally try to observe and breathe through the feeling.
