Cognitive Techniques To Change Your Thoughts ✨✨

Cognitive techniques are strategies used in cognitive therapy to help you identify and change negative thoughts and beliefs. These techniques should be practiced regularly so that they become habits.

Cognitive Restructuring: This involves identifying and challenging negative or irrational thoughts and replacing them with more positive or rational beliefs.

Thought Stopping: When you notice a negative thought entering your mind, you can mentally shout "Stop!" This interrupts the thought process and gives you a chance to replace the negative thought with a positive one.

Mindfulness and Meditation: These practices help you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings in the present moment. When you observe your thoughts without judgment, you gain insight into negative patterns and choose to let them go.

Journaling: Writing down your thoughts can help you process and analyze them. With time you can identify patterns and work on changing negative thought cycles.

Positive Affirmations: Repeating positive statements can help counteract negative self talk and reinforce positive beliefs about yourself.

Evidence Collection: When faced with a negative belief, ask yourself, "What evidence do I have that supports or refutes this thought?" This can help you see things in a more balanced way.

Decatastrophizing: If you tend to imagine the worst scenario, ask yourself how likely it is to happen and what other possible outcomes there might be. This can help you view situations more realistically.

Labeling: Instead of saying "I am a failure," label the thought as "a negative thought about my abilities."

Distraction: Engaging in an activity or hobby can divert your attention from negative thoughts and give your mind a break.

Scheduling Worry Time: Instead of ruminating on worries throughout the day, set aside a specific time to process them. This can prevent constant worry and allow you to focus on other tasks.

Challenging Cognitive Distortions: Recognize and challenge cognitive distortions like black-and-white thinking, overgeneralization, and personalization.

Visual Imagery: Visualize a place or situation where you feel calm and happy. This can help shift your focus from negative thoughts.

These are very simple descriptions and examples of cognitive techniques. I listed the ones we can put into practice on our own. There are more in depth methods and practices used by doctors on different fields of study and practice. I can list, as well as add upon the information listed here.

What she says: I'm in my dark feminine phase. What she means: *busy focusing on her growth and mental health, doing shadow work, healing her wounds and traumas, diving deep into the abyss of her darkness, setting strong boundaries, reclaiming her power, productively expressing her rage, celebrating her wildness,

#dark feminine #shadow work #healing #recovery #divine feminine #self therapy #growth mindset #selflove #selfcare #writings #(important note: dark feminine is NOT the same as wounded feminine. dark f is about transforming and healing your darkness)#(wounded f is still stuck in disempowered narratives and how to get back ex and manipulating others. we're not here for that ladies)

The right person

Someone who is truly meant for you would never be the reason why you cry yourself to sleep at night. Someone who is truly meant for you would never be the reason for you to ask yourself if you are good enough.

Someone who is truly meant for you would never intentionally hurt you in any way.Someone who is truly meant for you would never treat you like an option - but as their first priority.

oshi no ko aqua is such a fun character bc by most counts he's a more than decent guy.

in his first life he regularly visited hospital inpatients who had no visitors. he was genuinely happy and excited to help Ai deliver her babies, because he wants her to be happy on her own terms. he saves Akane simply because he can, and gets angry at the staff on her behalf. he doesn't stop at saving her life and spends sleepless nights turning around her public image. at that point there was nothing in it for him to keep akane around, she was just a person he was able to help and wanted to help.

by most counts he's a pretty decent guy who steps up when people need him most, except. except he's also a guy who really wants to kill his dad and that makes him manipulate people somewhat often and this is somehow not entirely at odds with his instinct to help others

#oshi no ko #like he's a doctor i can rly respect yknow #except for the patricide thing #gorou said do no harm unless it's my dad #also the way that gorou regularly visit patients is something SARINA has to tell the audience and not gorou #bc to gorou is nothing worth mentioning #for quite a while i was like man gorou is kind of sleazy for only visiting sarina esp when she's so young and vulnerable #but he visits the others also... sarina was just the most special patient to him because she introduced him to ai and also #because she was a kid whose parents never showed up #also SPOILERS FOR LIKE CH90+ OR SMTHING BELOW #the way aqua doesnt let akane dirty her hands like ok aqua we get it you want the best for everyone who isnt your dad #wipes tear someone get him therapy hes a decent guy who's ruining his life #also the way he is conscious of how he's playing w akane's feelings and tries very hard to be honest with her and to do her right #like sigh okay aqua i GUESS i cant hate you #and that one ghosting kana arc where i wanted to beat him up and then he was like i dont want to drag kana into this & he looked terrified #like SIGH. OKAY. FINE AQUA i cant hate you after all #like apart from the patricide (which is big know) the biggest downside to his personality is how cold he is #he pushes ppl away all the time and is just borderline rude #but like idk i feel like thats a byproduct of his 'i plan to go to jail for patricide and dont want to drag others down' mindset #which is like... well. you can't hate him for that.. he's looking out for others in his own way

Even Makoto must have realized that the plan for them retaining their memories via shutdown really came down to nothing more than "HOPE AND MAKE IT WORK SOMEHOW, WE GUESS." I actually had to write a fic to clarify in my own head how they held onto themselves, because let's be real, the ending (rightly) assumed that the player just got swept up in the "fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!" emotion of the ending.

I think Makoto was very much just Doing The Right Thing, like, *not* letting the train run over the small group to save the larger group, because that's who he is

But as for the survivors I think the fact that they recover and rehabilitate comes down to a few key points:

-They got force-booted out of their old way of thinking and acting, which they had gotten very desensitized to, so they got back some of the inherent innocence of being teens (not you Fuyuhiko)

-The memories of Junkos manipulation and their own subsequent actions trickle in slowly (as opposed to hitting like a freight train like in Mikan and Nagitos case) so they have time to process

-They genuinely have a better support net in the abandoned post-apocalyptic island than they did in their school year lives. DR2 has some sad sad backstories and Hope's Peak sucks, living with your best friends who understand your trauma & know what to look out for is a lot more healing

-they just made That Choice, they say that's the most important part in overcoming a bunch of unhealthy stuff

(I am nota bene operating on my own headcanons wherein the hypnotism bs didn't happen)

I think it's a nice theme that anyone can do bad but also anyone can choose to be better :)

#Like its not easy but with the combination of Therapy and Good Social Connections and sci-fi mind reset #You can reverse the harmful mindset you got so caught up in #That's why Junko had to try so hard to convince them to make the wrong choice #Anyway that's my take lol!#Not an art #Talky Talky #Also for sure some of it is just for survival BC if they regress they probably won't get another chance #And they no longer have as much power so it'd be curtains for them. They WANT to be good but it's also the best option for life

it does piss me off a bit that in catie’s second response she criticizes george for making an assumption about how she felt but… she’s literally been doing nothing but make assumptions about him this whole time(assuming his intentions, thoughts, and how he was going to react) it’s just irritating

-🧸

it’s very irritating. like was he meant to know that she saw this as a networking opportunity and not a good time with friends ??? like realistically, i just don’t know how he could have been aware of how she felt

#cq.asks #george situation #her mindset going in was just. very harmful #mostly to herself :(( i hope she can get therapy or something

Writing Therapy

This is will be a guide for you to overcome anxieties, be more courageous, and optimistic. Writing is one of the beautiful ways to express our emotions and have a conversation with ourselves.

Write it down

Take a blank sheet of paper and write down how you feel now. This is not an essay, you should not be concerned about the words. Your thoughts should flow and all you need to do is write out out as it comes out. This can happen at any moment, don’t set a time or a schedule for it.

Weekly letters

Write a letter to yourself every week. I do this and it helps me a lot. Every week I reflect on the previous week and my expectations for the next week. I write my highlights and my low moments and it is such a beautiful emotion to capture. After a while, you will open these letters and reflect on how things changed or lessons you’ve learned.

Confront your inner child/ past

Use writing to confront your inner child. You will have to write like a kindergarten. Don’t overthink it, don’t make it perfect, add some drawings. Sometimes I draw a trash can and write everything habit I needs to get rid off in it. Try to recollect memories of things you were once bad at or good at. Writing isn’t just about following prompts sometimes you’d have to write about something related to you, that only you have experienced. For example:

I remember when I first got my braces, I looked awkward, it’s amazing how much my looks have changed…

I remember when I was 10 and this golden retriever chased me…

My mom didn’t let me go to sleep overs when I was 8, I wonder what it would have felt like…

I first experience bulling in 8th grade, Jessica was really a mean girl, I wonder if bullies eventually change…

I used to be the most popular girl in high school, but in college I feel so overlooked. It’s crazy how things change.

I don’t like how I look in pictures now, I don’t know if it’s just my eyes,

I used to like baking, why did I stop, when did I stop?…

I was mean to the pizza guy, I feel so bad, it was wrong timing, is it possible for the universe to send apologizes on our behalves?…

Be in the present

Being in the present means acknowledging your feelings, processing your emotions as they occur, expressing yourself, being your own cheer leader, and support system.

What was the highlight of my day?

What would I have changed?

What did I procrastinate on?

What am I looking forward to?

What am I grateful for?

Am I better than I was yesterday?

What did I learn today?

Why was I sad/happy?

An optimistic approach

Writing in an optimistic tone will keep you motivated. It will give you the hope you need. You are looking forward to an event, a proposal, an opportunity, or a moment. Optimism gives you enthusiasm to chase your dreams. Examples of writing with optimism includes.

I am looking forward to a great week because…

I can’t wait for Christmas, there’s just so much to celebrate…

I see myself being a successful women even though I’m not sure of my passion…

In the next five years, I want to travel to every state in America.

It only gets better…

Oh, I can’t wait for fall and all the peace it brings…

I’ll be 24 soon, there’s so much to reflect on…

Confronting the elephant in the room

This will be the difficult part of the writing because you will have to be honest with yourself, it’s tough love here, and you’ll have to hold yourself accountable. Here are prompts that can help:

Are you sure you want to accomplish your goals?

Why do you want a change in your life, if you are not willing to improve?

When was the last time to made a to-do list and followed through?

Have you read a book since the last month?

What is your excuse for not doing your self-care routine?

Do you trust yourself?

What have you started but you’re yet to complete?

I’d love to start a writing therapy class, it will be so interesting :)

With love,

Black Pearl
