- Seeing everything in black and white i.e., if one thing goes wrong you think you are a total failure. Remember such events happen when it doesn’t go the way as planned, but this does not mean that you have failed and you will never succeed.
- It is the overgeneralization that takes it away – When something bad happens, do not overgeneralize and think that bad will always happen to you. There are many good things to come your way.
- Only seeing the negative in a situation and ignoring the positives.
- Finding reasons to not accept positive feedback and over exaggerating a situation.
- Jumping to Conclusions – Making a negative interpretation and thereby concluding without any definite facts for it.
- Exaggerating things beyond reality.
- Reasoning everything emotionally – Then you start assuming that your negative emotions reflect the way things really are.
- Trying to motivate oneself by having too many “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts” about how you should act, or how the world should be. It is better to accept some things the way they are.
- Giving yourself or others a definitive label which may not be an accurate description.
- When you see yourself as personally responsible for an outside event, you confuse influence with control.
