How Can I Take off my Invisalign Without Alot of Pain and Sometime Bleeding?

I've just started using invisalign but whenever I take it off to eat I'm in alot of pain and I sometimes bleed. I have 2 attachment on my top teeth and this is only were the pain occurs.

So, I would like to know if there are any tips or ways to take off the invisalign without feelings as little pain as possible.
