Emotional Moderation in Productive Journaling Attempts

My family and I were discussing moderating ones emotions, why you should do it and different techniques, etc. I definitely want to keep my negative emotions in check, but there are some positive emotions I just want to dive into, even if they lead to unwanted consequences in the end. I mean, are we really living if we live in fear of negative consequences? Is it my mental issues that make me want to indulge in the good, and ignore the bad?

I made a goal to do some productive journaling in the next two weeks, maybe this is a good start…
