Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT is a combination of two psychological theories. Cognitive and Behavioural theories. CBT proposes that emotional change happens by changing the underlying thoughts that support them. To effectively change our thoughts, we utilise the behaviours that correlate with them.
This approach can be a trial and error, and is greatly helped by having a good understanding of your underlying beliefs that caused the thought to start with.

What Gets You Up in the Mornings?
What is the daily routine of life for?

Is the success of our life to be detemined materialisticly?
Or do we get out of our bed every morning to improve somehow the lives of those around us?
Is our value what others hold of us or what we hold of ourselves?
