On the 20th we asked you to track your overgeneralizations. Did you find that you have a tendency to overgeneralize? It is very important to challenge these thoughts to see how real they are. We encourage you to ask yourself the 10 questions used to challenge your negative thoughts found below.
1. What’s the evidence that the thought is true? 2. What’s the evidence that the thought is not true? 3. What is the worst possible thing that could happen and how would you cope if it did happen? 4. What’s the best possible thing that could happen? 5. What would most likely happen and how would you cope if that happened? 6. What’s another way of thinking about this situation? What else could be going on? 7. What would you tell a friend of yours if they were in this situation and had the same negative thought? 8. What’s the effect of believing the negative thought? 9. What would happen if you didn’t believe the negative thought? 10. What are some alternative thoughts in this situation?
Today we encourage you to look at your tracking results and share what patterns you have identified.
