Book Preview: 

#1 Low mood is something that everyone experiences. It is not fixed, and it does not define who you are, but it is a sensation you experience. The more you practice using these tools, the more skilled you become at using them.

#2 When it comes to changing your mood, the ingredients that go in will determine what comes out. Your brain is constantly working to make sense of what is going on, but it only has a certain number of clues to work from. It takes information from your body, your senses, and your actions and thoughts to make a guess about what is happening and how to respond to it.

#3 When we are down, we want to hide away and avoid any activities that might make us feel better. But too much isolation makes us feel even worse. The loop also occurs with our physical state. When we are low on energy, the chance of exercising goes down, along with our mood.

#4 All the different aspects of our experience are impacting each other to create our experience. We don’t experience our thoughts, bodily sensations, emotions, and actions separately. We experience them together as one.
