Negative Emotions as Informative Signals

Negative emotions can be viewed as informative signals, similar to a car's dashboard warning lights.
It's okay to briefly set aside negative emotions, but it's important to schedule time to address them later.

Examining the constituent parts of emotions can help in moving from identification with the emotion to seeing it as a passing experience.
This approach allows for wiser responses to situations rather than blind reactions.
