Episode 8- OVERCOMING COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS THROUGH YOUR EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS: Thinking Your Way to Better Living

Clarity in thinking amplifies wisdom.

Your brain is constantly processing information, and does so with lightning speed.
It quickly decides what stimuli to attend to and what to ignore.
How the information is processed will determine the degree to which you
feel focused, serene, calm, anxious, stressed, and/or discombobulated.

Your executive functions are key to critical reasoning and problem solving.
Critical reasoning and problem solving are negatively correlated with cognitive distortions. As one goes up, the other goes down.

In today’s episode, we are going to discuss cognitive distortions, connect these with the executive functions, and help suggest ways to clearer thinking and better living.
