Thinking Errors
1. All-or-Nothing Thinking: You see things in black-and-white categories. If your performance falls short of perfect you see yourself as a total failure.
2. Over-generalization: You see a single negative event as a never-ending pattern of defeat.
3. Mental Filter: You pick out a single negative detail and dwell on it exclusively so that your vision of all reality becomes darkened, like a drop of ink that colors an entire beaker of water.
4. Disqualifying the Positive: You reject positive experiences by insisting they “don’t count” for some reason or another. In this way you maintain a negative belief that is contradicted by your everyday experiences.
5. Jumping to Conclusions: You make a negative interpretation even though there are no definite facts that convincingly support your conclusion.
  1. Mind reading- you arbitrarily conclude that someone is reacting negatively to you and you don’t bother to check this out.
  2. Fortune Telling- You anticipate that things will turn out badly for you, and you feel convinced that your prediction is already fact.
6. Magnification or Minimization: You exaggerate the importance of things, you own mess up or someone’s achievements, or you inappropriately shrink things until they appear tiny, your own desirable qualities or someone else’s imperfections. This is called the binocular trick.
7. Emotional reasoning: You assume that your negative emotions necessarily reflect the way things are, I feel it so it must be true.
8. Should Statements: You try to motivate yourself with shoulds and shouldn’ts, as if you had to be whipped and punished before you could be expected to do anything.
9. Labeling and Mislabeling: This is an extreme form of over-generalization. Instead of describing your error, you attach a negative label to yourself, or someone else.
10. Personalization: You see yourself as the cause of some negative external event which in fact you were not primarily responsible for.

I Feel Pretty

How do you feel about your body? This can be a hard topic. But the big lie in life is that the value of our body is tied to the appearance of our body. This is 100% not true. Your body is an amazing miracle! And when we know this we can move from shame to power, and we can show ourselves and then others the inner beauty that we have inside us!

Halley Amor- Who am I?

I'm so excited to get this blog up and going. I'm so nervous as well. Nervous because this is a place of learning and growth, for me as well as all of you. I will be open and vulnerable with you all in hopes to help that growth take place. I plan to do mostly post podcasts, though you may find other posts here and there as well, like this one. If this reaches the audience I hope it will, there will be listeners/readers who don't know me personally. So for them I will give a brief intro to who I am, not my bio but who I am and why I am doing this blog. I am full of passion, I love life and I love love love talking. It may be my favorite thing. I am a crier as well. See I love to talk but it just so happens I cry if I feel sad, nervous, angry, overwhelmed. It's really my body's go to reaction. So I talk best to small groups of people, or one or two people at time. I also suffer from depression and have for years. I have learned that I grow and can help others as I...
