Use this method to stop thinking errors in progress and find a different path to a better outcome. Practice doing this today. When you sense that you are committing a thinking error, take time to move yourself through these steps. Record what happened in each of the spaces below. 1: Stop Realize you are committing a thinking error and do your best to stop it. Describe the situation when you realized you were committing the thinking error. What was the thinking error? Where were you? How did you feel? The thinking error was giving up and I was doing a hard task at word and a felt insufficient for a moment and it’s not pleasant to feel this way. 2: Think Trace the thinking error back to one or more sources. List one or more events or emotions that could have contributed to your thinking error. For example, did you skip breakfast and are now hungry? Were you disappointed about something? I was hungry because I forgot to bring my snack to work 3: Act Do something to change your physical and mental state so that you stop committing the thinking error. Describe what you did to change your physical and mental state. For example, did you address any BLAHST issues (bored, lonely, angry, hungry, stressed, tired)? Which ones? Did you reach out to Heavenly Father for help changing your heart? To create a better eating habit and prepare my meals before going out 4: Reflect Reflect on your effort and evaluate how well you were able to stop the thinking error. Reflect on your effort. What went well? Why? What didn’t go well? Why? What can you do the next time you are tempted to commit this thinking error? It didn’t go well; I did not deliver the quality I wanted, and it was not even close to what I could have archived.
