Mood Mapping

Mood Mapping is a unique way to express your self. By mapping your mood, you manage it. This book shows you first how to monitor your mood, then manage it using innovative and easy exercises and strategies

Mood Mapping shows you how you feel, and makes it make sense.

This book is easy to understand, easy to teach and changes the way people think about themselves, the people, around them and the people in public life  

My dream is of people meeting in small groups, teaching the principles of self management to each other, in schools, in business, in hospitals, and in prisons.

The system of self-management is based on learning to understand mood, learning to manage mood and using mood to improve your relationships

Mood management as the basis of mental health– moods are the single most important factor in determining well-being and behaviour.

Emotions need to be acknowledge and managed, so that they are neither ignored nor allowed to be overwhelming

Emotional needs, including the needs for love, security, growth and learning, variety, significance and contribution must be met

The key to managing emotions and moving forward is acceptance and then forgiveness.

Physical health is a vital component of mental health

Physical environment is equally important

Personalities result from the combination of a few traits, which are then directed by someone’s beliefs and values resulting in characteristic behaviours. Understanding oneself and other people is the key to harmonious working. Finding common ground, which is very different from mutual interests

With appropriate cognitive strategies, anyone can do just about anything

Relationships, with oneself and others are key to being a happy healthy human

Beliefs and values are the tools by which we fulfil our purpose

The book is finished, coming out in October, with Rodale from MacMillan It is the hardest thing I have done! and many thanks to Gill Paul my copy editor and Liz Gough Editor
