how to deal with distracting thoughts and emotions

[UpperClassWhiteBoy]

Do I:

1.  Repeatedly try to let go of them, using a technique similar to Actualized.org video "The Power of Letting Go". 

2.  Try to let go of them, with the technique mentioned above. If I can't let go initially, use mindfulness with labeling to observe them as they are as raw perceptions and hope it passes.(I think this one would be best, since you try to see if you can just do the most simple thing of letting go and then if that can't be done, try to detach from it  and have it subside that way)

3.  use mindfulness with labeling to focus on them, and then try and let go each cycle.
