Thinking Patterns

Common thinking traps that make things feel worse than they are.

'I failed once, so I'm a complete failure.'

'This mistake will ruin everything.'

'They must think I'm stupid.'

'I already know tomorrow will go badly.'

'I feel it, therefore it must be true.'

'I should be over this by now.'

'I'm a failure.' — the mind turns an event into an identity.

'It must be about me.' — taking everything personally.
