Challenging Negative Thoughts The hard part about self-talk is that it always feels true. Even though your thoughts might often be biased or incorrect, you tend to assume that they're facts. Remember that our thoughts and evaluations are often opinions.

Therefore they are open to question, and should not be something we just blindly accept if they are causing us distress. Instead, you can dispute, dissect, examine, and assess them like a detective or lawyer would, to see how realistic they are and put things in perspective.

Gratitude Journal Grateful thinking promotes the savoring of positive life experiences. By relishing and taking pleasure in some of the gifts of your life, you will be able to extract the maximum possible satisfaction and enjoyment from your current circumstances. When you realize how much people have done for you or how much you have accomplished, you feel more confident and efficacious.

A gratitude journal is exactly what it says – a journey or diary documenting daily the things (5- 10) that you are grateful for.

I am grateful.‌
