My experience with controlling feeling is like trying to stop a wave with a bucket of sand.
It's a lot easier saying... well that's the way I feel about that. Now if I am going to see the results I desire I have to find a way of getting there with those feeling.
Have you ever visualised your feelings as an entity that you're fighting? In an old castle perhaps, fencing foils out, knocking over tables, cutting candles swinging from drapes as you fight your foe (your feelings). Kind of wasting your time cause the battle never seems to end (it's for show afterall). What would happen if the hero (you) said to your enermy (your feelings), "Bugger this I'm going to the zoo with the kids today you if you want come along get changed I'm not taking you like that otherwise we can continue this battle later when I have time for it."?
Good luck with your studies.
