The human brain constantly generates thoughts and emotions, but many times these thoughts are just "automatic reactions" that may not be true or useful. If a person always follows these thoughts, they are prone to falling into anxiety, internal conflict, and emotional amplification. Psychology emphasizes a skill: awareness without being carried away. That is, you can see "what I am thinking, what emotions I have," but not treat them as the entirety of yourself. When a person no longer excessively identifies with their thoughts and emotions, they are more likely to view things calmly and objectively, and less likely to be influenced by impulses and biases. This state is called "decentering" or "psychological distance" in mindfulness psychology. It is not about becoming indifferent, but: emotions can exist, but they are not controlled by emotions.
