I'm usually not focused on my emotional states but I tried this to see if it helps. I mean, some emotions came up out of nowhere and I decided to let myself get into them and stay there. That was for a few months this year. Both positive and negative emotions. I found it did not help at all. It did not change anything, I did not gain any understanding from it, I did not get driven to do something that moves me forward, I did not get relieved. Nothing.

So why do you do this yourself?
