Emotional Awareness

My second year at university just ended. Now I'm just left with a year before graduation. This year's going to be a very challenging one I believe, with thesis to deal with and not much time to rest. 

During the two weeks of our final exams this previous semester, surprisingly I felt minimal to no stress at all. That's a good thing of course, but the problem is - my body showed signs of stress throughout the two weeks(not to mention - severely). In other words, it seems that although psychologically I felt no stress, physiologically my body knew that I was under stress, albeit unconsciously.

Happy colourful shuttle I made for last year's Solibad Day.

Have I been too ignorant towards my emotions that I don't experience some of them psychologically while my physiology still notices them? Does that mean that when I say I'm now a happier person, it's just because I've merely 'programmed' myself to ignore negative emotions when/if they ever do occur?

I guess that's possible. But is that wrong? That's probably something to think about. Maybe I need Gestalt therapy. Funny how I never seem to get Gestalt theories during lectures but I ended up realising that it's probably the most suitable technique a counsellor can use on me.

I need to be more aware of my emotional experiences (man, I never thought someone as emotional as myself would ever say anything that).
