Our thoughts rule our feelings and our feelings rule our lives. Think about that for a moment. Does a specific memory come to mind? Maybe you had a not so great day at work, which turned into a not so great week because of your reaction to one misfortune. For example, image you’re stuck in traffic. Most people would probably feel pretty frustrated, but there are options in terms of how you react to the frustrating situation. You can adapt the mindset, “This always happens to me! This day is going to suck.” Or you can adapt the mindset, “Well this isn’t ideal, but at least I get a chance to decompress and gather myself before going into work.”
“Cognitive psychology has shown that the mind best understands facts when they are woven into a conceptual fabric, such as a narrative, mental map, or intuitive theory. Disconnected facts in the mind are like unlinked pages on the Web: They might as well not exist.” –Steven Pinker
Adapting the first mindset mentioned above is the easy option. But adapting the second mindset is the beneficial option. If you’re guilty of turning to negative thoughts instead of positive thoughts (as many of us are), you could find value in cognitive behavioral therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people understand how their thoughts control their feelings and overall course of life. They also help people to identify and transform their own negative thinking patterns.
