Before you feel an emotion you will have thought something.

If you are sad, start thinking happy or neutral things, you'll be amazed at how quickly you will learn how to treat and enjoy your emotions:)

@Zeusdelight Thank you, but I dont want to distract myself from my emotions. More like not hold on to them.

@Ohbabe But sometimes emotions are unrealistic because the though we have had to create them is unrealistic. It is better to ignore those ones, so that we can understand and learn from the real ones.

To be sad all day means a series of thoughts is holding you in that emotion. One of those thoughts may be I am going to be sad all day.
