Here we go again, let's take a look at the happy and sad continuum. Along with the work that you've just done offline, you might have identified a lot of continuum that you could work with from daylight to dark, from sleeping to waking from hungry to full, many, many of them exist. Now it's time to figure out what to do with four in particular that relates to the emotions we talked about earlier. When we're talking happiness, we're talking going from kind of ho hum on so so de, all the way over to ecstatic, which is what we think we'd feel if we want a million dollars. So it's a pretty broad range of feelings sort of positive. Let's look at more often.

So happiness goes from being ho hum being really ecstatic and how I figured out what to fill in the blanks in between with was by going to the internet, looking up at the source the word happy and finding all the words that go between ho hum and ecstatic and placing them along this continuum. Now there's a form in your online learning course that you can download that will help you do this. For the other four emotions, are you ready? So now you have a library of all kinds of words that you've put along continuum, for happy. And we've got three more emotions to do, which are sad, angry and afraid. Let's get started with sad.

So let me show you what I did to set this up for you. I went out online, and I looked up on to saurus.com. You can see the URL, the word sad, all these words came up, and I decided to pick two to use on the continuum. The first one I decided to use was wistful, because it's not a very strong feeling at all. And then I decided to use this conflict because it's one of those you just can't really get over easily. Look, here's the difference shown in pictures.

So one of the ways you might do your continuum, once you get your words in the definitions, is find pictures that seem to match so you have a scale of feeling from weakest to strongest for sad Have you gone out and downloaded the total Put for a continuum yet. Have you printed four copies and completed one for each of the four emotions made a list or a stack of sticky notes of all the words, look them up to see what they mean. Place them along the continuum from least to greatest, do it. This practice is part of what you do to become an athlete of your mind, helping it learn new ways of working. Stop now, finish the continuum and then go on to the next video.
