Involves your ability to identify what you feel with ease. It affects mental health by predisposing people to depression.

Emotional Clarity: 6 Key Principles for Managing Your Emotions

Third-Person Thinking
Third-person thinking, or talking to yourself about the problem as an outsider, or as a witness, can temporarily improve decision making, according to numerous studies.
New-Found Wisdom
Talking to yourself in the third person brings clarity, insight and greater emotional regulation about the current situation or problem.
