Seven Questions

v What kind of thinking error could I be making?

v What evidence is there that this thought might not be true (or completely not true)?

v Is there an alternative explanation or another way of viewing this?

v What is the most realistic outcome of this situation?

v What is the effect of my believing this thought and what could be the effect of changing my thinking?

v What would I tell a close friend or family member if he/she were in this situation and had this thought?

v What should I do now?

 

 I will answer these questions in my next post but I need you to think about them too before then...
