If you experience that, sit down and feel it but don't act.  Observe the feeling as it is something generated by your DNA, something that triggered automatically.

what does that mean, experience what?

I'm not sure if this helps, but I'm reading a book called "The Obstacle is the Way", which is basically applied stoicism.  It seems like a useful framework for getting through difficult times and lends some great perspectives.

I wouldn't consider it an end-all-be-all philosophy, but it's a useful component of actualization.
