How to control emotions? Women in business?

When I get really angry, I often get upset and cry. I can think of things I want to say to get my point across and it sounds great in my head, but I am not able to express myself because I am in tears and am trying to make myself stop crying. Do any other women have similar stories that have overcome this? I am starting a business career and I know this will be a problem. I need to learn how to control my tears and stay calm enough to express myself professionally.

Yes. I've been there. So have lots of people whether or not they want to admit it, and YES, some men have cried on the job, too.

An idea?

Some people say having a focal point to concentrate on will help you to keep from crying. I found this has helped me. Other recommendations? breathing exercises, biting the lip (probably where that phrase "keep a stiff upper lip" comes from), touching one side of the nose as an acupressure point works for some...but be careful cause some people intrepet that in body language as not telling the truth. It's best to try to de-personalize the situation. Just tell yourself, it's not personal. Yeah, it's like psyching yourself out but sometimes it helps.

Here's a couple more tips in the link provided.
