One of the ways to instantly feel better is to "tell ourselves the truth."
Our negative feelings are usually caused by our own distorted thinking. It often helps to write down the things that are bothering us to see if we are really being truthful with ourselves in our own thinking. If not, we can then dispute those thoughts or "misbeliefs" with the Truth. The Truth is most always much more peaceful than our imaginations.
Below is a worksheet* that I use when trying to get those distorted thoughts out of my mind and replace them with the calming Truth. I have left the first form blank for you to download or print, followed by an example of a person who is feeling depressed because of a broken leg.
Try to see the Truth behind the statements in the right hand column and the faulty thinking behind the statements in the left hand column. What is bothering you today? Try inserting the things that are bothering you, one by one, in the blank spaces and watch yourself be transformed by these amazing new insights. Watch, too, as you begin to realize, maybe for the first time, that the Truth can and does, indeed, set you free.
