This episode was inspired by my real life experiences. Of which
I have a bunch of them.
So, so many of them. One of the things that I've learned it to
not to be dragged down into a spiral.
I still have negative thoughts but I don't have to hug and
kiss up on them. 97.4% of the time, it is just a thought. It isn't
a measurement of my worth.
I am still in the remembering that thinking error are not me
stage.
There are all kinds of thinking errors that can affect you
mood or ways of your thinking existence. The overall name is
Cognitive Distortion witch can involve about 15 different types of
jacked up thinking.
The one I want to talk about today is All of Nothing Thinking.
Also known as black or white thinking.
No matter what you call it, it is thinking in extreme. Usually
involves reinforcing that you have failed. That you aren't worthy
or that once again, you did not perform with absolute
perfection.
Which is probably not true. Or just a little bit true. Or it
can be true in one situation but shouldn't define your entire
reason for being.
In this episode, a look at resources that can help you deal
with one of the cognitive disorders called All or Nothing
Thinking.
