Thank you.

1. use emotions as input
2. explore alternative stories

I could especially relate to these categories: # Magnification (Catastrophizing) or Minimization # Emotional Reasoning # Should Statements – getting better at this one, but i do have a few left in my personal belief system of what is acceptable and what is not and it gets mixed up with what is out of my control which then makes me feel victim to it, if i let myself dwell there in a panic moment! getting better in this area though! thankfully! still really struggle with the first 1 especially and the second sorta thanks for sharing! ~Jen JD, I really enjoyed this blog!

Some other thinking errors include:<br/><br/>blaming - placing blame on others, things or situations and finding fault with them.<br/><br/>polarized thinking - everythng is either good or bad.<br/><br/>Mind reading - concluding what others think and do without proof.
