Many of us
have had an irrational thought and belief in our lifetime. We might tell ourselves
that we cannot succeed, that we are not good enough, and that no one would want
us.
Having irrational thoughts and beliefs can stem from feeling down in spirits after being disappointed.
One way to
recognize an irrational thought and / or belief is to ask yourself if it is
really true or if it just how you feel because you may be in emotional distress.
When we get hurt or upset we have a tendency to feel so down on ourselves that
we exaggerate our irrational beliefs even more.
Once you realize and admit that your irrational
thoughts are just how you are feeling and not the truth, then you can work on
changing them.
Look at your situation and acknowledge the truths and then list the potential positive outcomes in place of the negative and irrational beliefs.
