- 25. Reflective thought 25 Reflective thinking is the process of reflecting on one’s emotions, feelings, experiences, reactions, and knowledge, creating connections between them, which leads to learning. In reflective thinking, consciously think about and analyze what we are doing now, what we have done previously, what we have experienced, what we have learned, and how we have learned it. It is an awareness of our knowledge, assumptions and past experiences. Past experiences and learning that make the context of our thoughts. These are unique to us. It is an active and dynamic process that keeps on developing and evolving as we learn and respond to new experiences, situations, and information.

- 32. UNDERSTANDING THOUGHT AWARENESS Thought Awareness is the process by which you observe your thoughts and become aware of what is going through your head. One way to become more aware of your thoughts is to observe your stream of consciousness as you think about a stressful situation. Thought awareness is the first step in the process of managing negative thoughts, as you can only manage thoughts that you're aware of.
- 33. One general approach to Thought Awareness is by logging stress in a Stress Diary. One of the benefits of using a Stress Diary is that, for one or two weeks, you log all of the unpleasant things in your life that cause you stress. This will include negative thoughts and anxieties, and can also include difficult or unpleasant memories and situations that you perceive as negative.
- 34. By logging your negative thoughts for a reasonable period of time, you can quickly see patterns in your negative thinking. When you analyze your diary at the end of the period, you should be able to see the most common and most damaging thoughts. Tackle these as a priority.

THE MORE PROBLEMS YOU CAN IDENTIFY THE BETTER. FOR EACH PROBLEM YOU IDENTIFY, COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS: 1. ONE PROBLEM WITH MY THINKING IS … 2. THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE …
- 40. 40 ⊹ WHEN A PERSON EXPERIENCES AN UNHELPFUL EMOTION, SUCH AS DEPRESSION OR ANXIETY, IT IS USUALLY PRECEDED BY A NUMBER OF UNHELPFUL SELF-STATEMENTS AND THOUGHTS. ⊹ OFTEN THERE IS A PATTERN TO SUCH THOUGHTS AND WE CALL THESE “UNHELPFUL THINKING STYLES” 5 : UNHEALTHY THINKING PATTERNS
- 41. Unhelpful thinking styles ⊹ Mental filter ⊹ This thinking style involves a filtering in and filtering out process – a sort of tunnel vision, focusing on only 1 part of a situation and ignoring the rest. ⊹ Usually this means looking at the negative parts of a situation and forgetting the positive parts, and the whole picture is coloured by what may be a single negative detail. ⊹ Jumping to conclusions ⊹ We jump to conclusions when we assume that we know what someone else is thinking (mind reading) and when we make predictions about what is going to happen in the future (predictive thinking). ⊹ Personalisation ⊹ This involves blaming yourself for everything that goes wrong or could go wrong, even when you may only be partly responsible or not responsible at all. You might be taking 100 per cent responsibility for the occurrence of 41
- 42. ⊹ Catastrophising ⊹ Catastrophising occurs when we blow things out of proportion, and we view the situation as terrible, awful, dreadful, and horrible, even though the reality is that the problem is quite small. ⊹ Black and white thinking ⊹ This thinking style involves seeing only 1 extreme or the other. You are either wrong or right, good or bad and so on. There are no in- betweens or shades of grey. ⊹ Shoulding and musting ⊹ Sometimes by saying “I should…” or “I must…” you can put unreasonable demands or pressure on yourself and others. ⊹ Although these statements are not always unhelpful – for example “I should not get drunk and drive home” – they can sometimes create unrealistic expectations. 42
- 43. ⊹ Overgeneralisation ⊹ When we overgeneralise, we take 1 instance in the past or present, and impose it on all current or future situations. If we say “You always…” or “Everyone…”, or “I never…” then we are probably overgeneralising. ⊹ Labelling ⊹ We label ourselves and others when we make global statements based on behaviour in specific situations. ⊹ We might use this label even though there are many more examples that aren’t consistent with that label. ⊹ Emotional reasoning ⊹ This thinking style involves basing your view of situations or yourself on the way you are feeling. For example, the only evidence that something bad is going to happen is that you feel like something bad is going to happen. ⊹ Magnification and minimisation ⊹ In this thinking style, you magnify the positive attributes of other people and minimise your own positive attributes. It’s as though 43
- 45. NEGATIVE THOUGHT ⊹ Negative thought is a thought process where people tend to find the worst in everything, or reduce their expectations by considering the worst possible scenarios. ⊹ This approach can relieve disappointment in some situations; but, negative thinking tends to manifest into a pattern that can cause tremendous stress, worry, or sadness over time. ⊹ The opposite approach would be positive thinking, approaching situations or circumstances with a positive attitude. ⊹ If you feel trapped by negative thinking, here are FIVE EFFECTIVE WAYS to address negative thoughts: 45
- 46. 46 1. QUESTION THE TRUTH OF YOUR THOUGHTS. Humans are meaning making machines, so it’s useful to question your interpretation of events and see if you’re creating stories which may not necessarily be true. Next time something happens and you start jumping to conclusions, pause and ask yourself: Is this really true? Can I know for sure? Could I be reading meaning into the situation which isn’t really there? Could I see things differently?
- 47. 47 2. QUESTION THE PERMANENCE OF THE SITUATION. ⊹ Another powerful question to ask yourself when you’re caught in a state of anger or anxiety over a situation is: How long will this last? ⊹ You may suddenly realize that in the scheme of life, what’s making you feel bad right now is something you may hardly remember in five years time, or you may even be able to look back on it and laugh. ⊹ Putting things into perspective in this way can immediately shift your thinking towards more
- 48. 48 3. SWITCH YOUR FOCUS You can’t really focus on a negative thought and a positive thought or memory at the same time, so switch your focus to something more helpful or uplifting. Go on a mental rampage of appreciation for all of the goodness in your life, like your loved ones, favorite activities, the beauty of nature, meal times, holidays or whatever it is that instantly makes you feel good.
- 49. 49 4. GIVE YOURSELF SPACE TO FEEL YOUR EMOTIONS WITHOUT JUDGMENT. When you feel a strong negative emotion arise, instead of getting lost in circling negative thoughts which feed the feeling and make it more intense, try to observe the feeling as it rises in your body. Where can you feel it? What does it feel like? By observing your feelings, you create a distance between your true self and your current emotional state. This can help you to remember that your true identity is something separate from, and greater than, any transient negative thoughts and feelings. As you continue to “observe” the feeling rather than getting caught up over-analyzing it in your mind, it will start to fade away.
- 50. 50 Self-compassion is the art of treating yourself with gentleness, kindness and understanding – the same way you would treat a close friend or loved one. When you’re caught up in negative thinking, particularly about yourself, take a step back and realize that although you may not be perfect and life doesn’t always go to plan, you are still worthy of love and acceptance and everything will work out in the end. As Eckhart Tolle put it, “Nothing you ever did or that was done to you could ever touch even in the slightest the radiant essence of who you are”. 5. Practice self-compassion.
