Caught Myself Forecasting This Morning
I woke up early, before my alarm, and caught myself forecasting conflict and doom for the day. Because I caught myself, I was able to address these thoughts. I tried some of the counter thoughts I have in the app. For example, I was forecasting conflict in regards to a meeting I had schedule, so I imagined a great meeting in which we all got along. That helped improve my feelings of anxiety. I did the same for a couple of other thoughts related to things not going well. It turns out the counter thoughts were closer to reality than those forecasts. I reviewed Mood Sentry when I got in to work to reinforce those counter thoughts. My mood was up and down during the day, but I don't think the swings were that bad.
