Hi Luzbug
 
Thank you for your reply.
 
When you said:
 
 "When you feel the wave of anger and frustration coming on and the mind 
beginning to go in circles, as soon as you become aware ot it, begin to 
observe the effects the emotion is having on your body."..."Remain aware 
that this is a temporary state...which will arise and pass away...just 
observe the process." 
 
it sounds like what a Zen master would say.  I sounds like real good 
advice.  
 
I think the problem I have is seeing the "frustration coming on and the 
mind beginning to go in circles."  I tend to get caught up in the 
process and get carried away in the emotional storm.
 
It seems the key is to see the emotional storm coming, observe it and 
not get caught up in it.  The key thing is to see it coming and know 
that, I am not this emotion and that I can choose to observe it and let 
it go.
 
I have also heard it said that what we tell ourselves, our internal 
dialog, effects whether the emotion will become anger or not.
 
It would seem we should tell ourselves things that are true, believable 
and most important non anger producing, perhaps even calming.
 
Thanks for your post
 
Richard
