Become your own investigator in your mind for truth.
Finish these four steps to gather
​

STEP ONE
Reframe your negative thoughts...

• Are there assumptions you have about yourself or others that other people you love say aren't true?
• “Why do you think that?”
• “What evidence do you have?”
• “Could there be another explanation?” 
• "Can a failure be approached as learning?"

STEP TWO
Ask yourself​

• “Do I have patterns of negative thoughts?”
• “What automatic thoughts do I have without thinking?
• What can I do different?​
•  Cognitive challenging is a powerful technique for reshaping thoughts and behaviors, and it’s a skill that can revolutionize your mental well-being.

STEP THREE
Take ACTION and...

• Put your thoughts to the test in real-life situations in your mind
• Learn to observe your thoughts without judgment
• Create some distance between yourself and your thoughts to keep clarity
• Role-play different scenarios with a friend trying out new ways of thinking and responding

STEP FOUR

• Remember that change is a process, not an event

• Our thoughts are our fiercest critics or our most powerful allies.
• By learning to challenge our thoughts effectively, we’re not just changing our thinking – we’re transforming our entire perspective on life.
• It’s about taking control of your internal narrative, becoming the author of your own story rather than a passive reader.
• It’s about building a mind that supports and uplifts you, rather than one that constantly tears you down.
