Here, the task is to remind yourself that you are not your emotion. So, rather than saying “I am sad,” say “I feel sad.” By doing this, you aren’t making yourself and sadness equivalent. Also, if sad is who you are, then you can’t change that; however, if sadness is how you feel, then that is something that you can change. The task here is also not to enhance or suppress the emotion, because doing so makes a stressful situation even worse.
