Members,
Last week we learned about overgeneralizations and how they can impact your mood. By overgeneralizing, we can turn a good day into a bad day. We asked you to confront these thoughts by challenging your negative thought patterns.
Here are some tips to help track your mood. When you notice a change in your mood, ask yourself:
What am I thinking right now?
What was I doing just before I noticed the change in my mood?
What was going through my mind?
By tracking your changes in mood, you will be able to learn how overgeneralizing can negatively impact it. To avoid this slippery slope, it’s important to stop these thoughts before they start.
