Identifying and understanding emotions helps in recognizing that they are not intrinsic to one’s identity. By observing feelings such as annoyance without attachment, individuals can release these emotions and move forward. This process involves acknowledging the source of emotions, typically within oneself rather than external circumstances. Practicing this understanding repeatedly can shift one's perspective, revealing that emotions are transient experiences rather than defining traits. Observing others’ emotions can further enhance this awareness, affirming a shared human experience while distancing oneself from negative feelings.
