Sometimes we can be overwhelmed by thoughts, feelings and worries. We often call it "stress", "anxiety" or being "depressed". But it can pay to be a little curious about what it is you really feel - and why. If you are able to specify exactly what you feel, it may be easier to find the way forward.

• What do you feel really? (Do you mask your feelings with other feelings that are easier to show or have?)
• What could be causing you to feel the way you do? Most negative feelings are linked to a need you have that is not being met.
• What can du do to solve the challenges or change the situation?
• What do you need help with? Secondly, to solve? Whose can help you?
• Are there any challenges that you have to accept and learn to live with?

When thoughts, feelings and worries take over, it can be difficult to take a step out of your own head and the chaos that can arise. One tip could be to write down all your worries and feelings on a sheet of paper. On a new sheet of paper, you draw five boxes, and each box is assigned one of the points on the list above. Then you sort and fill in what you wrote on the first page in these boxes.

In this way, you may be able to clarify and clear your mind a bit. It is when thoughts are unclear and chaotic that they are most difficult to deal with. When we are able to differentiate our feelings and describe them accurately, it can help us to react more appropriately.

More good advice:

• Practice being curious about what you really feel. Try to be as specific as possible.
• Test if you are stricter with yourself than everyone else: Would you say the same thing you say to yourself to a good friend?
• Take yourself seriously. Be open and curious.
• Notice when you feel good! What was the reason it was good?
• Remember that a thought is just a thought. A thought is not the conclusion and if the thoughts hurt us - dare to challenge them!
