Catching negative thoughts

CBT literature tells us about catching negative thoughts. I think we can all be guilty of believing negative thoughts as they enter our head and never really challenge them. This can then lead to negative belief patterns becoming part of us.

It is a difficult habit to get into, we happily challenge other things in life, but not our own thoughts, we trust them and believe them to be the only version of the truth. But are we correct to do that?

Should we try to become a high court judge in our life, passing evidence based on judgement rather than just thoughts that may enter our mind.

Three things to be grateful for

Firstly, my oldest son is doing really well at school and got 10/10 in a maths test today.

Secondly, my wife, who is putting massive pressure on herself by completing a degree and working full time is doing really well even though she doubts herself.

Thirdly, the team I support won at the weekend in a big semi final which was great.

Cheers
