I've been getting a newsletter from this T named Jennifer Ryan, this is her website http://www.ichoosechange.com./home.html
The latest newsletter is about controlling negative thoughts. Here are four steps to feel and act differently:
1. Recognize the negative emotion
2. Isolate the thought that causes the emotion
3. Decide if you want to hold onto that thought (is it serving you well?)
4. Choose a new thought (something that will create the desired emotion)I haven't gotten through step four yet. But I can now recognize the thoughts that are causing my negative emotions, and they are not serving me well at all.
