In times of stress, the best thing we can do for each other is to listen with our ears and our hearts and to be assured that our questions are just as important as our answers. ~ Fred Rogers

Make a list of common negative thoughts you have in a typical day and check the list of 10 common distorted thinking patterns to determine which ones you engage in regularly.

Stress Mastery Rx #11 by Dr. Jack SingerJust because thoughts cross your mind, doesn’t make them true! There are several key questions you can ask yourself regarding each negative thought that you identify as cropping up with distressing regularity. Below is a quick reference guide that will help you challenge your negative thinking. Copy it, put it where you can see it and practice giving  these thoughts a big thumbs down!

  • What negative situation am I assuming is (or will be) happening to me?
  • What is the evidence to support my conclusions?
  • Could I be exaggerating the situation in m mind?
  • Is there any alternative explanation that could explain what happened or what will happen next? could I be confusing facts with reoccurring thoughts in my mind?
  • Are my conclusion based on emotions rather than on facts?
  • Can I really predict the future?
  • Am I using extreme words and phrases i my thoughts?
  • Am I assuming the worst will happen without evidence of that?
