Had a Better Day Today
I actively worked my mood today. I reviewed a couple of "My Experiences" this morning, ones that I thought were relevant to what's driving my mood these days. Late this afternoon I went back to "My Experiences" and reviewed several more entries and discovered that there were more thoughts at play. For example, this morning I reviewed Overgenerlizations and Jumping to Conclusions thinking those were some of my main mood drivers. This afternoon I reviewed those two as well as Magnification-Minimization, Mental Filter, Disqualifying the Positive, and Emotional Reasoning. I found that all of these have been playing some role in my mood these days, and the identified mitigation techniques helped. Even though I created all these entries sometimes I still get surprised at how effective they can be.
