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.

I changed my mind regarding watching television shows and playing video games. If they bring joy into your life and help you to alleviate your stress and anxiety, go ahead and consume them in moderation to get that boost of energy that you need to keep working on your dream life. I hardly ever play video games and rarely watch television programs. I don't have any video games on my computer, nor do I have a game console at home. About five years ago, I deleted any video game from my smart phone. This all changed this past Saturday January 25, 2020 when my 9-year-old second cousin E showed me how much he loves the video game "The Battle Cats"...
Why be in the thick of craziness, stressed by busyness and a wide range of people and their demands when you can find a way to create greater success within yourself and among a few nurturing people. Your quality of life is the most important. You can choose your path of purpose and define your success. You can reinvent yourself and stack new skills, knowledge, and relationships on top of your existing ones. You can create value for others by yourself or with a few positive people. Your work is a game because it's fun, and the people you work with are your friends because you genuinely care for one another. ---------- Browse the +positive masters+ universe here at www.positivemasters.com...
Cognitive Distortions - Part 2When something bad happens to you, don't conclude that it'll happen to you over and over again. This is what mental health professionals call "overgeneralization." Stay positive!For example, you break up with someone and you believe that no one will ever love you. Or you find a dent on the door of your car, and you tell yourself, "I'm always getting dinks on my car" when you've only had two dents on your car in twelve years of driving almost every day.Browse the +positive masters+ universe here at www.positivemasters.com for mindset practices, motivational writing, and apparel with inspirational mantras and designs to boost your happiness and counter any stress, anxiety, sadness, or anger that you may...
Cognitive Distortions - Part 1 Don't have an all or nothing thinking. Stay positive! The following are a couple of examples of an all or nothing mindset: "I didn't get accepted into the university that I wanted so I'm a failure" or "I lost my election because people don't like me." All or nothing is the basis for perfectionism. Such thinking makes you feel worthless because of a failure or imperfection. Absolutes don't exist. If you force your experiences into absolute categories, you'll always be depressed because whatever you do will never measure up to your exaggerated expectations.
