This is such a helpful post! I think that riding the wave of nervousness or stress, especially if the feeling is short term, can be effective. Sometimes when I pressure myself to manage an emotion too much, it counterintuitively makes me focus on the feeling in an unproductive way. Pausing for some moments and letting a state of stress, anger, or whatever it may be, wash over myself, helps me to acknowledge how I feel and gives the emotion/mindset a sense of finality once I think I'm beginning to regulate it.
