I'm usually not focused on my emotional states but in this year for a few months I had let myself slide into them because some emotions wanted to come up out of the blue and I decided I'd just let myself be that way.

Also, recently I saw a site online that was linked to from this forum talking about how emotional awareness is important. I tried the practices on the site about focusing on parts of my body to see what I feel. I ended up feeling anger in most parts and a few other things in other parts but mostly anger and I don't see how there is a point in magnifying my emotional states?

I'm a person who always got easily irritated, annoyed, angry but my default mode is easily getting past after releasing the irritation or anger by acting it out (in a way that does not cause serious harm to my belongings). This technique just magnified the anger and that felt stressful. I also did not see a point to having positive emotions magnified, see below as to why not.

So overall I found all this stuff 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 what's the point?

And as for the intense emotions I got coming up this year from nowhere or coming from actual causes but intensified compared to my default way of being, I disabled those too recently because they were interfering with my daily life. Now I find that I'm not at all better off with them turned off either.

So what's the solution?
