    Episode 10. It is OK to feel down... sometimes.
    Jun 6 2021
    Due to work commitments and life in general, this will be my last episode of the season. I feel like the quality in the episodes has started to drop. As well as this, it takes so much time to do all the research and it can be quite exhausting and a lot to take in. On this episode, I talk about how it is OK to sometimes feel down. It is natural and as long as you don't let whatever makes you feel down have a long lasting effect on you...it is OK. If you feel like something in your life-whether it has happened in the past or is currently happening to you now that may have a long lasting negative effect on you, then there are people who can help-some of who have dedicated their whole professional lives to understanding the mind and how we function. The more we naturally talk about any negative feelings or emotions that we may be going through, the easier our lives could be. Over the past 18 weeks, I have talked about a lot of different things that can contribute towards poor Mental Health as well as things that can be done to improve it. I have mentioned some facts and statistics that are quite shocking. I do believe that we can change all this with more understanding which is what I am trying to put across. Thank you to anyone that has listened and supported me with all of this. As stated, I will be back in three months time.

    This episode I focus on the possibilities of overcoming and controlling negative emotions. Is it possible to control your negative emotions through thought process? Negative emotions do not have to have a long lasting impact on your life. 10% is what happens in life. 90% is how you react to it. Why are some people able to cope with problems better than others? Is it possible to let negative thoughts go? Can you control the way you feel?

    In this episode, I talk about identifying feelings of sadness before they actually happen. Knowing that you will be feeling down soon. Maybe you can plan ahead so when the time comes, you may feel better? I give a couple of examples of when I planned ahead myself and experienced beautiful moments instead of sadness. https://muksblogaboutstuff.blogspot.com/2020/12/christmas-day-at-dovestones-part-one.html?m=1&zx=eb028196fb0b9732

    This was a very hard episode to not only put on this podcast but to also research and to find out just how awful and how shocking the statistics are. I ask a question on this episode about feeling suicidal. I give my own thoughts and feelings and experience about suicidal thoughts. This episode is very sensitive but is a must-listen episode.

    In this episode I talk about rejection and how it can affect us from achieving our full potential and how it could stop us from developing. I give examples of different types of rejection. My own personal experiences of rejection and how being rejected can sometimes work out for the best. We may not understand it or think so in the moment but rejection can actually be a positive thing.
