The reading i found the most interesting was rational-emotive approach to feeling. The rational-emotive approach to feelings consist of a pyramid that has 4 steps. This approach involves feelings using rational thinking and self talk to challenge emotions, which may be weaken relationships and healthy self-concepts. The first step in the pyramid is watching and sensing your emotional reactions to certain events and troubles. It is important to know your emotions and understand what is happening with your body and your nonverbal behavior because you don't want to act out.  The second step is to understand which situations make you feel unpleasant. You don't want to be in those types of situation because you'll be really upset, so you should just walk away. The third step is to tune into your self-talk and identify whether it is telling you that you shouldn’t feel certain emotions. Always go with your first instinct with anything unless someone or evidence proves you wrong. The fourth step is to use self-talk so you can challenge the fallacies. I really think by using this pyramid it can be really helpful to understanding your feelings and emotions. I think self talk is a major thing to feelings and emotions because you know and what you are feeling so it is important when being or trying to be positive or when being negative but that should be kept to the self.
