Welcome to Behavioural Therapy Day (CBT) on the forums!
Once a week a SSC a Health Educator will launch a challenge. Members are encouraged to take on the challenge and post their results. Following, SSC educator will post specific tips and strategies to aid you in the way you look/interpret yourself and the way you view the world.
This week’ challenge will pertain to focusing on the negative…
Many individuals tend to pay a lot of attention to certain kinds of information and no attention to other kinds of information. Most importantly, when people are feeling down, anxious or stressed, they tend to pay more attention to information that confirms their negative thoughts than to information that challenges their negative thoughts. For example, an individual may pay more attention to the one person who doesn’t have time to talk to them and less attention to the five people who stopped to talk to them.
How often do you focus on the negative? Today we challenge you to keep count with a pen and paper. As you track, don’t forget to note the 5 W’s of every negative thought: Who was there? What happened? Where did it happen? And why did it happen?
