Trinsic "I feel this way when this happens" starts out very pragmatically. Say you feel listless and down a bit (nothing major). Pause to objectify the feeling by stating it to yourself. Then peek back a little.
Example: I see I didn't get full sleep last night, I remember I just had a glass of wine (depressant), I realize I am indulging some petty concern , etc. "OH now I know why I feel a little down. Then basically two things happen:
The light of understanding lifts me up, or I acquiesce to experiencing being down a bit (now I enjoy it because it is simply and without weight). Being aware of what you feel and why is important initially.
WAY later you understand it is all junk and couldn't care less why it visited. If something is there, you don't even need to objectify specifically. Your awareness just moves from it or accepts it with a sense of pleasure.
I can't underestimate for myself how the energy gained from letting go of daily concerns translates into acuity to think and act straight. For me to think and act straight was to find more and more to detach from until I was free.
This is why religious are known to say you must die (not physically of course). When the soul is dead, what God or devil can affect you?
