In step one, we asked that you leave some space at the bottom of each entry in your stress log.
Reviewing your entries (especially the ones in which you noticed one or more cognitive distortions), rewrite
your thinking into a "reframed thought." What could you have told yourself at the time to reduce
the level of stress invoked by your thoughts?
Sample
entry :
As you continue to practice recording, observing,
and reframing, you will develop a new habit, and be able to more easily use the reframing skill. You will be learning
to talk to yourself in a more reasonable and soothing way. Another way of describing this process is that you are
diminishing the voice of the "inner critic", and enhancing the voice of the "inner defense attorney",
or the "inner coach". Have fun with this!
