I'm getting better at catching my thoughts

It's little things.  Like I reported last week regarding an ominous feeling at the start of my day.  I'm recognizing magnification more often than I used to.  I had a general feeling of anxiety today that I think was due to forecasts that were not realistic based on past experiences.  I was countering those thoughts and did it out loud.  That's right, I was talking to myself out loud when challenging those thoughts today.  I think it helped.
