‘Do I Want to Feel This Way?’: A Toolbox of Skills for Managing Bad Feelings

Feeling good is… everything! Imagine that you are having a great day; you feel good, things are going well - even the weather agrees with your mood. Then some event - a criticism, a disagreement perhaps - ‘touches a nerve’ and you are thrown into a bad mood. This reaction is automatic - a habit - and it is experienced by most people. Wouldn’t it be great if you could use the same process for the opposite result - to move from a negative mood to feeling good? Perhaps you are like many people: you suffer long or frequent episodes of anxiety, depression, anger, sadness, boredom, loneliness, resentment, frustration. When you are really ‘down’ or anxious, wouldn’t it be great if you could ‘flip a switch’ in your mind… and feel better? ‘Do I Want to Feel This Way?’ presents skills that, once learned and practiced, help you develop the habit of ‘flipping the switch’ when you feel bad. ‘Do I Want to Feel This Way?’ can also act as your reference manual for managing your issues. There are no footnotes or lengthy anecdotes about other people dealing with issues. When you are hurting, you want some input that helps you feel better. ‘Do I Want to Feel This Way?’ is available in ebook and print form.(Previously titled Awareness and The River of Change)
