RE: Mental Filters; Analyzing an Error of the Mind...

in #mindset6 years ago

the mental filter distortion focuses on a single negative and excludes all the positive.

By adjusting your automatic thoughts each day, you can influence your emotions and behaviors.

Try to identify the basis for your distorted thoughts, and then challenge them. What evidence do you truly have to support these beliefs? There are likely far more instances where you had success and things went well.

Seek the opinions of others about whether your thoughts and outlooks are accurate. If you truly believe that your colleagues have it in for you, refer to a few trusted peers for objectivity.

Rather than thinking about your situation in a black or white polarity, assess things on a scale of 0 to 100. Things not materialized can be seen as partial successes rather than failures.

Amazing @chbartist ...!!
