In addition to both calming and accessing my emotions, (the one on Sadness opened stuff in a rather pleasant way, oddly; I guess that I expected to be sad when I thought of that? Or because I heard my feeling?) the ideas of complex emotions is really important to me as a writer of fiction. I now can pinpoint as many feelings as I need and insert them, either motivating the action or complicating it.
E.G. Brannon easily defeats a person who broke in, dazzling him with the lights on his glasses. In the new edit, we see the tough adventuring agent as sad that the guy will feel helpless until his eyes return to normal, as well as pleased that his safety is continued. The relief, victory, and sadness are all things I glossed over in the first edit and when I edit this its going to be insanely rich. There might even be disappointment when he discovers that this was NOT an attack but a message delivered by theperson whose home he was using as an AirBNB.

It's just amazing how many different feelings a given plot point can open up, and this is a gold mine in itself.
