Viewpoints: functional thinking
This article gives an insight on how one can recognize and challenge biased thoughts with the objective to change their way of thinking towards a more functional mindset |
- Identify a situation that triggered you (stressor)
- Identify what you thought in that specific moment
- Acknowledge what you felt in that moment (anxiety, anger, fear, sadness) and try to evaluate feelings' intensity with a scale from 0 to 10 (0 low intensity, 10 high intensity)
- Individuare un modo più realistico e funzionale di pensare quanto è successo
- Evaluate any change in intensity (from 0 to 10) of what you previously felt and the arise of any new emotion after this new thought
TRIGGER FACTOR | WHAT WAS I THINKING? | HOW DID I FEEL? (0-10) | WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN A MORE FUNCTIONAL AND REALISTIC WAY TO PROCESS WHAT HAPPENED? | HOW DO I FEEL NOW? (0-10) |
