‘Did You Know’ your thinking can sabotage your behaviors, relationships, success, and the outcome of your life?
Most people base their decisions on their feelings and/or their thoughts. When their feelings and thoughts are distorted, they cope and reason with life based on irrational thinking, such as the following:
- Black or white thinking; extremes in thinking; all-or-nothing thinking
- Over generalizing
- Lack of gratitude; discounting the positive things that do happen
- Allowing one negative event to negatively effect other events of the day
- Jumping to conclusions
- Exaggerating
- Emotional reasoning instead of thinking logically
- Imperative, bossy, controlling thinking
- Labeling
- Taking responsibility for events outside of your control
- Taking information out of context
- Twisting information
- Misinterpreting what others say
- Minimizing
- Seeing only what you want to see
- Drawing conclusions without the evidence for it
- Thinking that someone can magically know or read your mind
- Thinking that others have ulterior motives
- Suspicious, paranoid thinking
- Assuming that others know what you want or need without communicating those needs or wants
- Having unreasonable expectations of yourself or others
