Our mind is mischievous. It plays games on us by throwing Cognitive Distortions at our otherwise positive & rational thinking. Those who are strong & can fight these distortions thru logic,emerge winning. Those who succumb, suffer the pangs of worry and fear. Learn to beat your negative thinking. Learn to reign-inthe negative indulgences of your mind.
The tricks your mind plays with you could be...
- it makes you personalize everything and blame
yourself for all failures (self defeatism)
- it blocks positivity and over plays only the
negative aspects 'bad news' to block you from
moving forward
- it stops you from compromising equations or
sharing your glory...'all yours or nothing !!!'
- it makes you jump to generalized
conclusions...makes you believe you can read
minds and foretell behaviours...creates suspicion
- it makes you fall once and makes you believe that
you will fall each time you walk...over generalizes
- it emotionalises you to block taking hard rational
decisions
- it makes you give shabby label people's
behaviours
- it throws up excuses for you to procrastinate
action.
You thus can't ever win unless you positively reign in your mind.
Win your mind and win your world
