Everyone has feelings

There is a huge range of feelings and it can be hard to tell sometimes exactly what we are feeling.

When life is going along in a way that we like, we probably feel many types of feelings like - happy, excited, peaceful, proud, surprised. And when we are having times in our lives when things are not going so well, we probably feel sad, alone, angry, frustrated, worried.

Everyone has times when they feel upset just like everyone has times when they feel happy. Life has its UP times and DOWN times, it has HIGHS and LOWS.

Sometimes we get the message that it’s not OK to feel upset and that feeling upset is a sign of weakness. These messages are not true!

It is completely natural to feel upset when we are in a conflict situation, or when we have a problem, or when our life is not going how we would like.
