The Challenge: Negative Feelings

Gregory enjoying natural scenery

DO STRONG feelings—perhaps sadness, anger, or resentment—consume you? If so, you may have little time or energy to pursue what is truly important to you. 


WHAT YOU CAN DOIf negative feelings control your life, try the following:

  • Write down your feelings in a journal.
  • Express your feelings to a close relative or friend.
  • Challenge your feelings. For example, ask yourself, ‘Is there really evidence to support such a negative view of myself?’
  • Do not hold on to anxiety, anger, or resentment. Redirect your energies to something more productive.
Bottom Line: Often, negative feelings are not the result of our circumstances but of how we view them.
