@creative_writer is doing such a great job guiding you through @Birdofparadise8 !
Yes, you are doing it right.
Now continue to get to know this emotion a bit better.
What is the texture? Does it have a smell? Does it have sound? Is it changing weight or colour?
As you do this, you are giving yourself and the emotion space which in turn gives you more control over your thoughts and actions.

I don’t think there is a sound, texture or smell. It just feels really heavy and painful @tyme
I feel like it’s staying the same and it just feels like a big black hole is coming to swallow me which would be nice.

I feel it mostly in my head I’m not sure why it’s just like a weight weighing me down @tyme.

That's it...you are on the right track. So now we know that this 'sadness' is weighing you down, and is mainly in the head region.
Next, colour? Is sadness black? @Birdofparadise8

So now we know it sitting in the head region, it is black and dark in colour.
Look closely now. Examine it.... texture. It is smooth? Is it bubbly? Is it rough? @Birdofparadise8

@creative_writer - I'm wondering if you can write about the same thing in poetry form? Pick an emotion, the write about where it is, its colour etc.?
What do you think?
