A set of tactics for surfing along an emotional rollercoaster.

When you feel good, close your eyes and sit with the feeling, and locate where it is in your body.

Then touch that part of your body.

Later, when you want to load up the good feeling (e.g. before a high-stakes meeting), touch that part of your body to activate the memory.

When you feel bad, don't push it away.

Your body's reaction to emotion tends to dissipate in a minute or two if you don't try to push against it.

Our emotions are not some silly distraction off to the side; they directly color how we experience the world.

Don't ignore your emotions, surf them.
