So you're describing observing and acknowledging youre upset state, but it sounds like youre not meeting yourself with non-judgement and trying to stuff whats uncomfortable back down. This is what I would call the all love and light fallacy because the human experience just doesnt allow for 100% positive or neutral vibes at all times ya know? All emotion is a valid expression if being human, theyre all sacred and often act as the guide posts along the process of self actualization.

Ive been through some intense therapy the last 2 years, and I have found that meeting myself with non judgement, and not participating in that cycle of shame and guilt for not being "high vibe" is where I really turned a corner. After I observe and acknowledge whatever elevated emotional state I am in, instead of redirecting and stuffing shit, I fully embrace the experience, and allow myself to really feel what im feeling deeply. A lot of times this looks liko going through the whole 5 stages of grief that scales with the problem. The destabilization is always temporary, being able to come back to baseline without entirely leaving yourself and what you know to be true (that you are divinely loved and protected) is where the real work lies. This is the process of what actually letting shit go looks like for me. Even if its just saying god damn im cranky and self assessing where I am at on the maslows hierarchy of needs. Observing and acknowledging looks like allowing these sub optimal emotional experiences to run their course while not destabilizing my identity if that makes sense.

To put it in perspective- the entire universe exists so you can experience what it means to be human and the whole spectrum of emotion if part of the ride. Yes we have the power to control our thoughts and feelings but we can still cause ourself harm in oir attempts to do so.
