Emotions are not merely messages to trigger actions. Of course they reflect our state but not necessarily in an action imperative context. Sometimes emotion is just passive acceptance. I don’t disagree, and could not either, with a framework to process emotions. Just want to say that sometimes it’s ok to not directly address them in order to process them, to leave that envelope soaking halfway inside your mailbox. It’s ok to do nothing. Accept them not as nudges to become what you want to be but as reminders of who and what you are.
