There seem to be so many ways of “feeling better” and conversely, “feeling worse”.
Who has not imagined a “yet-to-happen” event which induced real feelings of anxiety and discomfort, yet when the event actually occurred, it proved better than expected so you experienced relief instead?
Also, note the difference if feelings and body sensations when standing in the peace and tranquillity of a rain forest compared to being in the middle of the frantic rush hour in a busy city.
Then there are the feelings of well-being when sitting quietly on a beach, breathing the fresh sea air. And a big one for all of us – going on holidays; it makes us feel good and relaxes us.
So there we have it; quite distinct and real physical, emotional and mental reactions to different environments and even “imaginary” mental pictures. Maybe this is what the people are experiencing?
Cheers
