Dive right into it !
You might have felt sad and watched a comedy video to get some moments of happiness. However, as soon as the video ends, you again experience that unwanted emotion. What if I suggest you that if you are feeling overwhelmed with anything, then allow it to flow into you and let it become a noticeable part of you? Any feeling which is making you feel uncomfortable then instead of distracting yourself from it, allow yourself to feel more of it. Let that emotion not stagnate you. Let it fill you so much that it floods you. Let that flood disrupt you. It is only after the disruption that you will see the real you. Feel it intensely to witness the magic happening, you will see it disappearing on it's own and then natural wisdom will flow, bliss will follow.
