- Act your way into feeling better + Think your way into feeling better.
- 10 *Cognitive Distortions*
1. All-or-Nothing: "I'm a complete failure"
2. Mental Filter: Focusing only on negatives
3. Disqualifying Positives: "That doesn't count"
4. Jumping to Conclusions:
- Fortune telling: "I'll definitely fail"
- Mind reading: "They think I'm stupid"
1. Magnification/Minimization: Blowing up bad, shrinking good
2. Emotional Reasoning: "I feel anxious, so it's dangerous"
3. Should Statements: "I should be perfect"
4. Labeling: "I'm an idiot" vs "I made a mistake"
5. Personalization: Everything is your fault
6. Mental Filtering: Only seeing the negative
