Deep Analysis
Emotions are temporary states that pass like weather patterns. We can notice them without letting them define our identity or dictate our actions.
Application Scenarios
When strong emotions arise, name them ('I'm experiencing anger') rather than identifying with them ('I am angry'). This creates psychological distance.
