One thing I learned from CBT is you feel what you think. I have been really thinking that I can change the anger that I feel. So I started thinking about how I can visualize the whole picture, and then it came to me...The Wheel. As everyone knows a wheel is round and never has an end. So as I started thinking about my emotions and how they are all interconnected. I felt anxiety when I could not make people happy and then I felt anger because I felt like a failure and then I felt depression because I felt like people did not like me and then guilt because I am depressed and angry. I drew a picture of a wheel and put all my emotions on the outside. The spokes are the events that lead to these emotions. So I got to thinking if I can break one of these spokes (change my outlook on the event) the Wheel would start to roll in a different pattern. So I started to really think about all these events and how I can change my outlook on things. So I have changed the way I think about events (spokes) in the hopes that the emotions (The Wheel) will start rolling in the positive way. I hope that The Wheel has helped some people.
