All or nothing thinking, where you see things black and white. If you do this, you’ll never give yourself grace when things aren’t perfect.

Overgeneralization, where you see one bad thing as a pattern of defeat. You say things like “this always happens to me.”

Mental filter: You only think of the bad things, and never see the good.

Disqualifying the positive: You reject good things because they “don’t count” in your experiences.

Jumping to conclusions: You negatively predict the future and outcome of things.

Magnification: You turn small things into a big deal.

Emotional reasoning: You assume that what you feel is what is real.

Should statements: You beat yourself up by always saying “I should have” or “I shouldn’t have.”

Labeling: You give yourself a label when something is wrong, like “I’m a loser.”

Personalization: You take the blame for bad things even when you had nothing to do with it.
