Why do I feel how I do?<br />
People can feel down for several reasons: some of these include<br />
• Having a negative view of yourself<br />
• Interpreting things in a negative and biased way<br />
• Having a negative view of the future<br />
People don’t choose to think like this, often it’s out of habit. Also<br />
there are other reasons people feel sad, but learning to think<br />
differently and recognize bad thoughts can give you a boost.<br />
Here's an example:<br />
Event<br />
You fail an exam<br />
Thought<br />
Good: It’s okay, I’ll work hard and pass next time.<br />
Bad: I’m useless, I can’t do anything<br />
Action<br />
Good: You revise for the exam and pass!<br />
Bad: You don’t feel like doing anything and struggle<br />
Feelings<br />
Good: Positive, as I know next time I’ll be prepared.<br />
Bad: Sad, unsure about the future.<br />
