Give yourself permission to question the validity of your feelings. Our feelings are an important part of our humanity, but when we let them run our lives or assume that they are always logical, we easily become mired in inactivity and depression. Feelings are real, but they are not facts. Practice asking yourself, "What am I thinking that is making me feel so depressed"? What are the beliefs underneath the feeling?
