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.

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.

You're not attached to negative people so they can't bring you down. Nonattachment is a practice of feeling the emotions that come with experiencing a negative person or event but being able to let them go so you can move past the unpleasant issue. 😊❤️ Combine the practice of nonattachment with the "Middle Way" so you can see the big picture in order to understand the negative person or event, even forgive the negative person or event.
