I recently watched The Florida Project on Netflix, a movie by Sean Baker about the innocence of kids making the most of their lives despite being poor. I cried. No matter what problems you have, there's so many other people facing tougher challenges. What an amazing movie, with both playful humor and heart-wrenching drama! The link to the preview of the The Florida Project is below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwQ-NH1rRT4 My heart melts for the children going through so many difficulties. Resiliently, many of these kids are still able to find ways to have fun.

Cognitive Distortions - Part 7Don't believe your distorted emotions are the truth. Don't believe your distorted emotions are the truth. For example, you make a mistake and tell yourself, "I feel like an idiot; therefore, I am an idiot." No you're not an idiot. You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. In that case, everyone is an idiot. Please. That's simply not true. Let's say you broke up with your lover, and this is the third time you've had a serious relationship.

Cognitive Distortions - Part 4
Don't disqualify your positive experiences. For example, when someone praises you, you disqualify it by telling yourself, "They're just being nice." Or when you perform well, you tell yourself, "I was just lucky" or "That was a fluke." No, don't do this. Instead, love yourself for your effort and abilities. You got yourself to where you are because of you, the good qualities that you have.
