In the first column, identify the self-critical thought.

In the second column, test that self-critical thought against all the objective evidence that you have about the substance of your negative thought. Scrutinize the thought to see if it has any basis in fact or if it’s merely distorted thinking based on old childhood conditioning and fears.

In the third column, identify the possible consequences of your distorted thinking. It’s important for you to realize that your distorted thinking has significant implications for your behavior, attitude, and ability to be in collaborative relationships.

In the fourth column, replace your distorted thought with a more realistic positive thought. Whenever you catch yourself engaging in your original negative, distorted thinking, immediately substitute, in your mind, this more realistic positive thought. Review the example in Box 9-8, and then try it yourself with one of your possible distortions.
