Ever have someone tell you to get in touch with your feelings? Well sometimes it can be hard to identify what's going on inside of you. So, we found this cool list of feelings to help us all get to the bottom of what's going inside of us.

Once a day print out the list of feelings and hi-lite all the feelings you felt that day. Do this each day for one week.  Make sure you go to our Self-Esteem Tips pages too. They will help you get in touch with your inner voice. Some of the tips deal with how to believe in yourself. Other tips explore things like: why anger is necessary; how to avoid complainers; and, how to stop all the competition.

After one week if you see your feelings getting happier stay on that path. If you notice that your feelings are staying stuck or are sad and depressed, tell a friend, a parent, a counselor ... someone you can trust. Most of our friends and the trusted adults we know have been through times of sadness or despair. Hearing their advice on how they overcame what we're going through can help a lot. If you are like a lot of us, you may even  feel like you are totally alone in your pain and confusion.  But, in fact, millions of people go through dark times. Getting through tough times really do make us stronger. Getting through the tough times also enable us to be able to help others who are going through it. We can actually help our friends because we know what it feels like to be in the sh*! and how great it feels to have made it through.

It helps so much to reach out.

ADVICE: 
Don't let other people control how you feel. You have the power within you to find joy and happiness. It helps if you hang with friends who are happy. Stay away from those that thrive on drama, anger and acting out.

Ask yourself this question: Do you want to be happy or is there something inside of you that likes being sad?

If you want to be happy do things that bring you joy.  What brings you joy?  Email your advice for finding joy to: 
PreventBullyingNow@heyugly.org. We'll share your wisdom on with youth all over the world.
