CHALLENGING MY UNHELPFUL IDEA
What idea have I strongly and persistently held that I now realize to be
the cause of many problems - emotional or otherwise - in my life?
What's wrong with this idea? What makes it unrealistic, extreme, illogical
and/or unreasonable?
How does this idea push me and others around? What are the consequences of
doggedly holding on to this idea?
Is it helping me get what I want or hurting me?
Is there any proof to support this irrational and/or unhelpful idea?
Imagine that I'm trying to convince another person why it doesn't make
sense to think that way; what persuasive counterarguments would convince
him or her?
Note to myself: I will try to notice when this old unhelpful idea seems to
be at the root of some new distress. I will regularly read what I've
written on this sheet to help myself think more clearly, feel better, and
act more wisely.
