Not a bad way to go. If we think that our thoughts and emotions of the moment dictate our action but those thoughts and emotions may not actually be conducive to good action, taking a step back for review can catch them before action begins (or goes to far). Bite the tongue, clear the head, so to speak. Once the emotions have past, why revisit them?

Exactly, the idea actually came from an old colleague who was a soldier. When we got to know each other I asked him how he coped after combat, arguably one of the most physically and mentally stressful things I can imagine. He simply said
"I left all those emotions out there."
Admirable if you can manage to do that, it really does show that different things work for different people.
Everyone needs to find their own path but too many people believe they have 'tried' when in actual fact they followed other's paths.
