How to overcome negative automatic thought or cognitive distortion

Negative effects on social connections, mental health, and general well-being can result from thinking that is twisted in our minds.

Thus, I think you might look into the idea of cognitive distortion, which is another name for "negative automatic thoughts" in psychology, if you are unable to feel content or pleased.

Cognitive distortions: You are being reflected in an erroneous way by reality. You can also discover that you are acting in ways or displaying emotions that you are not comfortable with as a result of this deceptive mirror.

Knowing what thinking errors, automatic thoughts, cognitive distortions, and cognitive biases are and being able to identify them are necessary for making functional decisions.

In 1967, psychiatrist Aaron Beck coined the term "cognitive distortion" or "negative automatic thoughts," which is another term for cognitive bias.

Cognitive distortion, according to Beck, is a phrase used to describe how people "process" particular types of information.

A sequence of negative feelings and ideas pursue each other when the thinking system interprets the current reality through the lens of prior experiences, which causes it to function somewhat erratically.

Prejudices that harden and become ingrained in mental patterns are the end outcome. How do automatic ideas come to mind?

As a result of not appreciating yourself, let's examine instances of "I am inadequate, I do not deserve".

I was anxious because, first and foremost, I had failed an exam that meant a lot to me. My mind generalised based on a misinterpretation of the facts.

I will always fail if I fail once. I so constantly convinced myself that I lacked ability and would never be successful. My self-esteem was actually vanishing as a result of this cognitive bias, along with the worry that comes with constantly expecting something.

Instances of involuntary negative thinking, Generalisation I reflected on my bad exam experience and said something.

I made a general conclusion based on a single fact that was viewed biasedly, and I concluded that if I had ever failed at anything, it must always be the case.

Don't anticipate the worst Once more, I'm concerned because it seems like we should prepare for the worse.

For instance, we think the project we've been working on for a while will fall through before it ever gets off the ground.

To be honest, in these circumstances, there is a great likelihood that we will make decisions based on inaccurate forecasts, which means that this biassed thinking will ultimately lead to failure.

In those who are nervous or depressed, negative expectations are extremely high. Why am I unable to think positively?

Individualization We get the impression that bad luck is always coming our way when we see this kind of distortion. Most people with dependent or hysterically prone personalities are affected by this misperception.

Because we identify everything with ourselves, these distortions are a narcissistic way for us to express how we really feel.

We just have the tendency to believe that we are somehow involved in everything that other people do.
