About the course

Thoughts influence how we feel, and the wrong kind of thoughts can cause unhelpful, distressing feelings. Your emotions and feelings are created by your thoughts.

Unhappiness cannot exist on its own, it occurs because of thoughts, which can be changed – this 7 week course helps to identify ways of thinking that can help to improve your mood and anxieties.

Core Ideas:

• To reduce the times that we experience low mood
• How activities affect our mood
• To have greater control over mood
• Ways to challenge negative thoughts
• How contact with people affects our mood
• Increasing pleasant activities

The course will run over 7 weeks and will explore common areas of mental wellbeing to support recovery by:

• Tracking our mood through charts and diaries
• Practice techniques such as relaxation
• Watching how others cope
• Tools to support confidence & self esteem
• Rewarding yourself
• Writing a plan of what you want to change
• Step by step change

Remember - you are in charge of your own thoughts and feelings; you can change the way you think which in turn, can have a effect on the way you feel.

Positive thoughts lead to positive actions
