Thought Records - The importance of doing it

Thank you for outlining your thoughts like this ~m. 
 
So to move a little farther what about these questions:
 
What are some steps you can take to move towards this change?
 
What's holding you back from being confident now? What are some potential obstacles?
 
If you were able to feel different (more confident) and in turn act differently what would that bring to your life? What would the possibilities be?
 
We might want to start a new thread to discuss this farther as this is an important topic.

Several things are percolating for me right now... and I'm trying to sort through them.  So I went back to Thought Records and then on to Positive Core Beliefs Survey ... which really is another form of thought record.  Actually writing the answers down on paper with pen... is pretty powerful. I am surprised by my answers.  Paying attention IS so important.
 
Questions about myself:
 
1. What would I like to be like?   Pretty much just the way I am but with more confidence.
 
2. What kind of person would I like to be?  Kind, generous, serene & confident.
 
3. How would I like to behave?  Thoughtfully, carefully confident.
 
4. What would I like to believe about myself?   That I am creative, caring and wise 
 
5.  How would I act differently if I believed this?  I would act the same but with greater surety.
 
The rest of the survey has questions about the world and other people and questions about the future... equally positive answers.   Again the question... If I believed my answers how would I act differently.  I do believe my answers. It IS time to act differently.

Great realization and good for you for taking a step back and using the thought records!

I have finished session 9 and thought that I could skip thought records as I would start working in core beliefs. In fact, I haven't been writing thought records for a few days.
 
Today I realized how it is very easy to went back to old ways of thinking (depressive thoughts) and started using thought records again (which have helped me in the past).
 
The importance of paying attention to the signals of depression is obvious so I can implement preventive measures as soon as possible.
