Hi Graham,
I don’t really have any recommendations for managing emotions, but if i could perhaps offer you one piece of advice based on my experience.
The best way to become more emotional is to simply be willing to let go and allow yourself to feel naturally.
As humans we’re meant to feel the full range of emotions whether its anger, happiness, sadness and bitterness etc.
When the emotion comes up for you, say to yourself:
‘This is how i’m feeling right now and I accept and invite it with open arms’
You’ll find over time that the emotions will quickly dissipate more quickly as you’ll no longer be stopping yourself or holding back.
Being sad, happy or angry isn’t a bad thing. It’s what makes us human 🙂
Good luck.
