Members,
Last week, we asked you to identify your negative thought patterns. You may have identified that your patterns revolve around stressful situations, self-esteem, insecurities, healing the past, your relationships with others, etc…
This week we encourage you to begin putting together a plan that will aid you in breaking those patterns. Here are some tips to help you along:
1) Identify the issue: Chances are your negative thought tracking revealed many issues. Choose the one that is most prominent or contributes most to your behaviours.
2) Select a goal: The goal should be reflective of the behaviour you are trying to correct.
3) Implement: Break your bigger goal down into smaller steps.
4) Track: Track your progress along the way. Are you seeing a decrease in your negative thoughts? Is the subsequent behaviour improving?
