Don't have an all or nothing thinking. Stay positive!

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.

In a dispute, not everyone will believe the facts. Keep doing what you can, but don't let your stress destroy your health or suck the joy out of your life.

If you're facing a dispute or litigation, all you can do is present your side of what happened. After that, it's up to the trier of fact, whether it be a mediator, arbitrator, judge, or jury. If they side with you, great! However, if they don't, tell yourself that you did what you could. Continue to do what you can, but don't let your stress destroy your health or suck the joy out of your life. My friends, I know it's tough.

You've seen enough death to know that your time could be up at anytime. So work hard on how you want to be remembered as, now!

You've seen enough death to know that your time could be up at anytime. So work hard on how you want to be remembered as, now! Accepting your vulnerability that you could die at any time is not something you may want to think about. However, there's a way you can make it positive. You could look at your future demise as the celebration of your life: (1) The people you've touched with your love and kind gestures; (2) The positive impact you've made on others through your work on a service or product; and (3) Beneficial content you've created for your loved ones and the greater community. I've written down in my life plan, annual plans, and daily plans,...
