I think what you said and what Mark mentioned in his course, it's the way we create new associations with certain experiences.

The way I found worked was projecting this experience into writing and being more conscious. Then, I accompanied how I feel negative towards an event with how I felt positive in the past that is similar in concept. It helped to regulate my emotions and lowered the intensity of that association.

I became more self-aware and my reactions became more conscious. So, I put those emotions on the back burner so when I can, I go back and analyze it. I turned that emotional experience as a learning foundation.

Even better, my wife and I have regular reflection with one another so we can exchange perspectives and uses our recent experiences (usually recent movies or shows) and reference them in our talks. It's a pretty awesome and rare system to have in a relationship.

I'm building an app for it where you'll eventually include turning your emotions to some kind of Pokemon mechanics and storytelling. Hopefully my thoughts was any helpful :)

I'd be happy for you to check it out and maybe teach you how to use it. Here's the link if you're curious: https://www.selfrell.com/

So quality and frequency of data is a challenge, it seems. Tracking moods can raise awareness, which can be beneficial. Incomplete or inconsistent tracking makes it hard to draw meaningful conclusions from the data.
