Both Ayurvedic (yogi) and Buddhist tradition put a lot of focus on this through various forms of meditation and mindfulness. The short-form that seems to work well for me and helped me through times of grief goes something like this:

1. Recognise you have an emotion. 2. Give yourself some time to observe the emotion without judgement, It is OK to feel that way. 3. Realize you can experience the emotion without having to be reactive to it. The emotion is a given, your reaction is a choice. 4. Get back to work.

Another thing I find helpful is taking some prolonged exhale breaths to help your nervous system get out of its fight/flight response: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6037091/

I use long walks in Nature ;)

Very few actually walk alone to empty their minds. Most listen to podcasts. Chat on the phone. Walk the dog. Or with a stroller. And yet I have found it to be the surest remedy!
