3 powerful tools for better mental health

3 powerful tools for mental health…

1. Cognitive Restructuring:

Throughout the day write down any negative thoughts or emotions that arise. At the end of the day highlight the 3 most important ones and aim to see them differently. For example: “I blew the report because I’m totally useless” can become “That report wasn’t my best work, but I’m a valuable employee and I contribute in many ways.”

2. Behavioural Experiments:

Before embarking on a task that makes you anxious, write out what you predict will happen. Later, see if the prediction came true. This allows us to see clearly that our anxiety about what will happen in the future is often fictional and that we don’t need to give it so much weight.

3. Successive Approximation:

Take a big goal or task that you have and break it down into the small part.
For example: “make a million dollars” can become “find a financial advisor”.
You want to make it small enough so that it isn’t intimidating and you build momentum.
