Keeping Thoughts In Check

The following article does a wonderful job highlighting how a thought is not to be taken at face value but something to be worked with.  Instead of letting the mind run amok with negative self-talk, the author gives a step-by-step approach to address this tendency head on.  She encourages an exploration into the internal messages, an activity that promotes emotional distancing and objectivity.  Using specific questions, valuable information our thoughts might contain is identified while any distortions that might color our perspective can be cleared out.   With more realistic data, it becomes possible to consider contextual factors and options for how to respond.   This is a great example of how emotional processing can lead to better self-awareness and a healthier mindset.
