Developing Healthier Core Beliefs 4


11 years ago 0 6252 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
My last positive experience. 

Mentally telling myself I can do the things I want to do and doing them. Walking, working in the greenhouse and getting back on the tractor again.

It would be so easy to sit here in the sun and tell myself I'm useless instead.

The last strategy in beginning to change negative core beliefs is to keep track of positive experiences.

If you’re sad or depressed, you’ve likely trained yourself to only pay attention to the information that confirms your old negative core beliefs and to not see or pay attention to information that shows you how true your positive core beliefs actually are. If you’re going to change your negative core beliefs, you’ll need to pay attention. How are you going to do that? You could keep a positive experiences journal. This can be a life saver when you’re really feeling down and can help with thought challenging.

This may not be easy at first. You may doubt yourself as it would confirm your old negative beliefs but we encourage you to keep at it! If you’re unsure whether or not the experience was a positive one, enlist the help of the support group or therapist to help you along.

What was your latest positive experience?
