Rather than merely dwelling, this advice is about unraveling, recognizing, and understanding the feelings.
Like being upset by rush hour traffic — is it just the traffic, or does the upset feeling come from another root? Is it making you late for your appointment, or does the guy blasting past in the slow lane make you worried about what could happen to the safe drivers?
A lot of stress comes from not understanding. If you can ease your reactions to your feelings, you can begin to observe them, and then eventually understand them better.

you're actually talking about rationalizing those feelings (i.e. finding their source; differentiate between different feelings/stress, tring to accept them and deal with them if necessary etc.), which is most likely what CAJ meant
just feeling those feelings won't do this for you
